See a cell phone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting "print" on your computer.

You might find it hard to believe that you could actually "print" an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays (噴) ink onto paper line by line, modern 3-D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.

Instead of ink, the materials the 3-D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin (樹脂)and certain metals. The thinner each layer is --- from a millimeter to less than the width of a hair ---  the smoother and finer the object will be.

This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3-D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was hardly affordable for most people, so few knew about it.

Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3-D printing industry--- printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost £20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now they cost only about £ 1,000, according to the BBC.

Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3-D printing can create just about anything you can think of ---flutes (笛子), bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3-D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.

However, as 3-D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems --- such as piracy(盜版). "Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3-D printer, who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?" an expert in 3-D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3-D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?

1.According to the article, in the future, the 3-D printing technology will ___.

A．enable people to make better purchases online

B．be applied as widely in our daily lives as computers

C．change the way we make many products

D．shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online

2.What was the big event happening in the 3-D printing industry last year?

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了三維印刷機(jī)的情況，它通常被簡(jiǎn)稱為3D印刷機(jī)，其工作原理非常簡(jiǎn)單。首先在電腦上繪制產(chǎn)品草圖，并細(xì)化修補(bǔ)其形狀和著色。接著按下印刷按鈕，印刷機(jī)開始運(yùn)作，產(chǎn)品慢慢成型。3D印刷術(shù)將隨著技術(shù)本身的不斷改進(jìn)迅速鋪開，使用成本急劇下降。但是本文還給出了一些擔(dān)憂，萬一能夠印出槍支了，不就對(duì)社會(huì)的治安帶來一些麻煩了。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting "print" on your computer.改變了我們制造產(chǎn)品的方式,故選C

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3-D printing industry--- printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3-D printer might have cost £20,000 (200,000 yuan), while now they cost only about £ 1,000, according to the BBC.

人們能夠買得起了,因?yàn)閮r(jià)格降下來了,故選B。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)it may bring about certain problems舉例說明它的普遍性,故選C。

4.標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)全文來看3D印刷機(jī)能接觸到的領(lǐng)域很廣，故選A。

考點(diǎn)：科普類短文閱讀。

點(diǎn)評(píng)：做標(biāo)題歸納題時(shí)還要遵循三個(gè)原則，即注意題的醒目性、概括性和針對(duì)性。醒目性——我們所判斷的標(biāo)題如果放在文章的最前面，應(yīng)該能使讀者一看到標(biāo)題就對(duì)其內(nèi)容發(fā)生興趣，即，吸引讀者的眼球；概括性——指標(biāo)題應(yīng)最大限度地覆蓋全文，囊括文章的主要內(nèi)容，體現(xiàn)文章的主題；針對(duì)性——我們所選的標(biāo)題不能偏題，必須指向具體文意，因此也應(yīng)具備強(qiáng)烈的針對(duì)性。

科目：高中英語 來源：2011屆重慶市“名校聯(lián)盟”高三第一次聯(lián)考英語試題（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

I passed all the other courses that I took at my university, but I could have never passed botany. This was because all botany students had to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells, and I could never once see a cell through a microscope. This used to make my professor angry. He would wander around the laboratory pleased with the progress all the students were making in drawing the structure of flower cells, until he came to me. I would just be standing there. “I can’t see anything,”I would say. He would begin patiently enough, explaining how anybody can see through a microscope, but he would always end up angrily, claiming that I could too see through a microscope but just pretended that I couldn’t. “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway.”I used to tell him.“We are not concerned with beauty in this course,”he would say.“We are concerned with the structure of flowers.” “Well,” I’d say.“I can’t see anything.” “Try it just once again,” he’d say, and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all, except now and again something unclear and milky. “You were supposed to see a clear, moving plant cells shaped like clocks.” “I see what looks like a lot of milk.” I would tell him. This, he claimed, was the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather, for himself. And I would look again and see milk.
I failed to pass botany that year, and had to wait a year and try again, or I couldn’t graduate. The next term the same professor was eager to explain cell-structure again to his classes. “Well,”he said to me, happily, “we’re going to see cells this time, aren’t we?” “Yes,sir,” I said. Students to the right of me and to the left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; what’s more, they were . Of course, I didn’t see anything.
So the professor and I tried with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only once did I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, something like stars. These I hurriedly drew. The professor, noting my activity, came to me, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. “What’s that?”he asked.“That’s what I saw,”I said.“You didn’t, you didn’t, you didn’t!”he screamed, losing control of himself immediately, and he bent over and looked into the microscope. He raised his head suddenly. “That’s your eye!”he shouted.“You’ve adjusted the microscope so that it reflects!You’re drawn your eye!”
【小題1】Why couldn’t the writer see the flower cells through the microscope?     .

A．Because he had poor eyesight
B．Because the microscope didn’t work properly
C．Because he was not able to adjust the microscope properly
D．Because he was just playing jokes on his professor by pretending not to have seen it
【小題2】What does the writer mean by “his eyebrows high in hope”in the last paragraph?
A．His professor expected him to have seen the cells and drawn the picture of them
B．His professor hoped he could perform his task with attention
C．His professor wished him to learn how to draw pictures
D．His professor looked forward to seeing all his students finish their drawings
【小題3】What is the thing like stars that the writer saw in the last paragraph?
A．Real starsB．His own eye
C．Something unknownD．Milk
【小題4】In what writing style did the writer write the passage?
A．Realistic B．RomanticC．SeriousD．Humorous
