25、were experienced in searching the Internet and the other half had no Web experience.However,the two groups were similar in age,gender and education.Both groups were asked to do Internet searches and book reading tasks while their brain activity was monitored(监视).“We found that in the book reading ta

26、sk,the visual cortexthe part of the brain that controls reading and languagewas activated,”Small said.“In doing the Internet search task,there was much greater activity,but only in the Internet-savvy group.”He said it appears that people who are familiar with the Internet can engage in a much deeper

32、ent views:eating green food,doing outdoor exercises or going to hospital for medical treatment frequently.As far as I am concerned,the best way to keep healthy is to develop a good quality of psychology(心理).According to some surveys,nowadays,most patients are not physically sick but mentally(精神上)ill

33、.They feel the burden on their shoulders is much heavier than others,so they cant step out of the shadow of depression and sadness.They need to release(释放)their spirit to the nature.Besides,if you have developed a good quality of psychology,youll become more sociable and thus more willing to play yo

39、cale.And the industry isnt stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer,a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake.Not everybody can do thatit takes years of experience,but a printer makes it easy.A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to

40、 “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same”, freeing cooks to complete other tasks.In another restaurant,all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table.Sustainability(可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050,and so

41、me analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels.Sustainability is becoming a necessity.3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution.Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids(水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae

42、(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料).3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions.Grocery stores of the future might stock “food” that lasts years on end,freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make proce

43、ssed food healthier.Hod Lipson,a professor at Columbia University,said,“Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customised nutritional content,like vitamins.So instead of eating a piece of yesterdays bread from the supermarket,youd eat something baked just for you on demand.”Challenge

44、sDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing,the industry has many challenges to overcome.Currently,most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming,because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways.On

45、 top of that,most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients,because meat and milk products may easily go bad.Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers,believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.29.What benefit does 3D pr

46、inting bring to food production?A.It helps cooks to create new dishes.B.It saves time and effort in cooking.C.It improves the cooking conditions.D.It contributes to restaurant decorations.解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句可知,用3D打印机,一名厨师可在婚礼蛋糕上打印出复杂的巧克力图案和精美的装饰,这并非每个人都能做到,这要厨师多年的经验积累,但一台打印机可以很容易就做到。由此可知,3D打印技术在食品制作

47、方面节省了时间和精力。答案:B30.What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraph 3?A.It solves food shortages easily.B.It quickens the transportation of food.C.It needs no space for the storage of food.D.It uses renewable materials as sources of food.解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“Some experts believe printers.”可知,专家相信

48、3D打印机可使用大量的藻类和草等可再生资源形成的水解胶体代替熟知的烹饪原料。答案:D31.What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?A.The printing process is complicated.B.3D food printers are too expensive.C.Food materials have to be dry.D.Some experts doubt 3D food printing.解析:细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“On top of that,

49、.”可知,尽管3D食物打印技术进展迅猛,但所需的大多数打印材料必须是干燥的才能使用,这也就制约了食物打印技术的普及。答案:C32.What could be the best title of the passage?A.3D Food Printing:Delicious New TechnologyB.A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC.The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD.3D Food Printing:From Farm to Table解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文开宗明义,一项新的3D打印技术

50、引人瞩目,最新进展有助于大规模食品的打印和服务。接下来分段介绍食物打印的省时高效特点、所使用的原料的可持续性、提供顾客所需要的营养以及目前技术推广面临的挑战等。所以文章的最佳题目应为3D食物打印:“精美可口的”新技术。答案:ADSpace travel is definitely bad for astronauts bones,reducing their bone density(密度)after only a month of weightlessness,according to French research published on Friday.Laurence Vico and

52、 the Lancet Medical Journal.They measured the bone mineral density(BMD)of bones in the forearm(前臂)and lower leg of the astronauts who had spent one to six months in space.The BMD loss was significant in the tibia(胫骨)of the lower leg,a weight-bearing bone,but barely changed in the radius(桡骨)of the fo

53、rearm.“Our results indicate the need to investigate not only different bones,but also different areas of the same bone since not all sites of the skeleton(骨架)are similarly affected by space conditions,”they added.Without gravity the body isnt bearing any weight so there is no need for calcium(钙)whic

54、h makes bones strong,and it becomes empty into the bloodstream.The research team suggested in future scientists should try to determine if the loss of bone density was only on weight-bearing bones on longer flights,also the possible recovery after returning to Earth.33.French scientists did their re
