I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time.

We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven(微波炉).Scientists say that itll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe(食谱)and put the raw（生的） food inks into the printer. You can also read the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food based inks and gels(凝胶)?Whats more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.32. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing? A. Quick and popular B. Easy and efficientC. Nutritious and tasty D. Soft and convenient33. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?A. Traditional food would disappear. B.

What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain.C. 3D food printing would be a failure.D. It would hurt our tradition of food culture. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Can 3D printing create everything? B. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchenC. 3Dprinting food will be in fashion! D. The disadvantage of 3D food printing第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Kids love to go online.
