2016届江苏连云港新海实验中学中考第二次模拟考试英语试卷

阅读理解

    Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.

    Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.

    “I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia.

    3D printing services are coming into American people's life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.

    “The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It's been much more than I would have imagined.”

    The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.

    For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢). He says the same–day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.

    Staples, an American store , is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology - experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.

    Bryan Jaycox requires $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and labor services.

    Mr. Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today's technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.

    “With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world.”

    He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.

(1)、What can 3D printers do according to the passage?

A、Come up with an idea. B、Draw on a piece of paper. C、Help users to spend less money. D、Turn an idea into a physical object.
(2)、What does the underlined part mean in this passage?

A、3D printing is becoming popular in the world. B、There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia. C、The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company. D、3D printing plays the most important role in daily life.
(4)、What's the passage mainly about?

A、The future of 3D printing in the world. B、The 3D printing business in Cambodia. C、The development and growth of 3D printing business. D、The 3D printing classes and services in different places.

    Before the day I stepped into junior high school, I had always thought that as long as I could read, speak, and listen well, English will be a "no problem" 1 for me, and that English grammar was a piece of cake. My father 2 to tell me the importance of grammar but I just wouldn't listen. I didn't understand what's so important about the whole "grammar" thing.

    This misunderstanding didn't last long. Something unexpected happened. It was only 3that day, and I would never forget that day. I was just a young and seventh grader when our English teacher 4 to give us a quiz on English grammar. We had to fill in blanks. After I read the sentence in question number one, different kinds of answers which I thought were possible came into my mind. All of them seemed right and made sense to me, but there was only one 5 answer to it, but I didn't know which one exactly. I was shocked, but I said to myself "never mind", and went on to question number two. Unexpectedly, the same trouble that just happened, appeared right in front of me again, and it just kept happening again and again until I heard our teacher say 6"Time's up." I had to turn in my answer sheet 7 so many unsure answers on it.

    I was really sad about the whole thing. And since then, I've 8 that in English, writing grammar is quite different from spoken grammar. My father had been trying to tell me the important role grammar plays in learning English. Well, it's 9 too late to learn anything, including ENGLISH! So, I started to work on my grammar skills, and thanks to that bad 10, I really learned a lot from it! Now, I'm still on my journey of learning grammar, and I am enjoying it.
