十四、
In the grass, a baby duck was hatched（孵化）out in a college biology lab with a backward left foot. At the time, it probably wouldn’t have survived, if Mike Gary didn’t recommend a proper operation to cut off that bad foot.
Months after the healing process, engineers at Novacopy Company produced a 3D printed model that would be used to create a prosthetic（修复）foot for the duck. Considering that ABS plastics were not flexible enough for this type of exercise, the Novacopy company made a three-dimensionally modeled foot made of silicone, with the hope to create a permanent prosthesis（假肢）for the duck.
It took just 13 hours to produce. This 3D prosthesis demonstrated the 3D technologies can be used not only for human application, but also in foreign subjects such as animals and other medical treatments.
( A ) 1. Where was the baby duck hatched out ?
A. In a college biology lab. B. In a back yard. C. In Novacopy Company.
( B ) 2. What was wrong with the baby duck?
A. It didn’t survived.
B. It was born with a backward left foot.
C. Mike Gary cut off that bad foot.
( A ) 3. Could ABS plastics be used to produce a 3D printed model that would be used to create a prosthetic foot for the duck?
A. No, because ABS plastics were not flexible enough.
B. Yes, but it could only be produced by Novacopy Company.
C. Yes, because it was made of silicone.
( B ) 4. How long did it take to create a permanent prosthesis for the duck?
A. 10 hours. B. 13 hours. C. 30 hours.
( C ) 5. What did the last sentences of this passage indicate?
A. 3D technologies can be used only for human application.
B. 3D technologies can be used only for foreigners.
C. 3D technologies can be used to human, animals and other medical treatments.
十五、 Wide World of Robots
Engineers who build and program robots have fascinating jobs. These researchers tinker（修补）with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. “They’re the best toys out there,” says Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots.
When Choset was a kid, he was interested in anything that moved-cars, trains, animals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars.
Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset’s labmates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars: robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist（扭曲）in many directions and travel over a lot of different types of terrain（地形）. “Snakes are far more interesting than the cars,” Choset concluded.
After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Choset and his cleagues there began developing their own snake robots. Choset’s team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding and inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don’t ,such as rolling.
Choset’s snake robots could crawl（爬行）through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole.
But Choset wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the doctor has to open a patient’s chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering from these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake?
Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs.
A company called Medrobotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to srugeries on people.
Even after 15 years of working with his team’s creations, “I still don’t get bored of watching the motion of my robots,” Choset says.
( T ) 1. Choset began to build robots in high school.
( F ) 2. Snake robots could move in only four directions.
( T ) 3. Choset didn’t begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at Carnegie Mellon.
( F ) 4. Zenati tested the robot on people after using it in pigs.
( F ) 5. The robotic technology for surgeries on people has brought a handsome profit to Medrobotics.
十六、I am very happy to share my story about breast enlargement in Thailand. Anyone who is not sure about breast enlargement should read this story first.
Firstly, I was amazed at the level of care I received at the Thailand private hospital. It was like being in a luxury hotel. The nursing staffs were also better than those who I have ever met in all my years in America. Not only were they professional, but kinder and more patient than Western nurses.
The hospital food was excellent, so I was able to choose from a large and varied Menu. In my private room, there was cable T.V., a fridge, a phone, and impressive views of Bangkok（曼谷）. My Translator was able to communicate with me, and the plastic surgeons arranged the whole operation without me lifting a finger.
The operation cost me a third of the price of U.K. With the low cost of the air tickets and a holiday, it worked out at about half UK’s price, because the cost in Thailand is so cheap.
Combining a plastic surgery with a holiday in an amazing place is an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived in Bangkok airport, I felt relaxed and welcomed by the Plastic Surgery & Holiday team, it made me feel that I had friends here already.
( A ) 1. Where did the author have her breast-enlargement operation?
A. In Thailand. B. In America. C. In U.K.
( B ) 2. Was the author satisfied with the nursing staffs for her?
A. No, because they were no better than America nurses.
B. Yes, because they were more patient than Western nurses.
C. No, because the care was very poor.
( A ) 3. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. The author was content with the food in the hospital.
B. When the author was in the hospital, she lived in a public room.
C. There was cable T.V., a bridge and a phone in the author’s room.
( B ) 4. What does the underlined phrase lifting a finger mean in paragraph three?
A. Doing something with only one finger.
B. Helping with something.
C. Carrying something.
( C ) 5. Why did the author think her experience unforgettable?
A. Because she had an operation there.
B. Because she was satisfied with everything there.
C. Because she was satisfied with the service and price there.
十七、 If you want your product description appealing and informative, write your article linking features and benefits first. It’s often not enough to just list the features of a product as your audience may not always understand them. Use B. descriptive language to convey how any one feature will benefit the buyer and A. how purchasing the item will make the consumer’s life easier. Potential buyers want to know what the product will do for them. Second, use clear and decisive language. It’s important when writing product descriptions to be concise. Use common language and terms that are easy to C. understand. Clearly describe the product without C. getting too technical or boring so the reader stays engaged. Last but not the least, include a call-to
-action. The best product descriptions always B. ask for a sale. Be creative and encourage the potential buyer to purchase your product by telling them exactly how to do it.
