It isn't easy learning ventrilquism. The difficult part was develping the vice, because at first, it was sft and hard t hear. I memrized the rutines and perfrmed mre. With time, I gt better respnses. The lud laughter was nnstp, in additin t the applause.
Fur years later, my mther purchased a prfessinal ventrilquial figure, which I named, Freddie O'Sullivan. He was lifelike, with mving eyes, mving eyebrws, and culd stick ut his tngue. Treating Freddie like a real persn enhanced my perfrmance.

Tmrrw's menus culd feature items prepared with cmplex cking techniques and presentatin — all at the push f a buttn. Clumbia University mechanical engineers have designed a 3-D printer that can prduce and ck dishes at the same time with details at the millimeter scale.
The design cmbines a multi-wavelength laser (激光) cker, rughly the size f five smart phnes piled tgether, with a micrwave-ven-sized fd printer. The system uses varius light wavelengths t ck in different ways: a shrt-waved blue laser ges deep inside meat, fr example, while infrared beams (红外线光束) brwn the surface. As the device's rbtic arm places fine layers f chicken purce (酱，糊), a high-pwered beam mves ver them and cks the meat — with literally laser-fcused precisin. Thus, users can achieve perfect results — say, a machine-made burger that varies between rare and well dne in a checkerbard pattern.
"It gives yu a lt mre cntrl and custmizatin（定制），” says Jnathan Blutinger, lead authr f the paper and a digital-cking researcher at Clumbia. The researchers tested nly chicken fr this study, but the system can wrk with ther fds as well.
Beynd applying diverse materials and presentatin patterns, this type f sftware-cntrlled setup culd smeday scan a QR cde t autmatically prepare dishes tailred t individual eating habits and dietary restrictins, Blutinger says.
The new technlgy is "astnishing", says Megan Rss, a fd scientist wh studies 3-D printing at Ireland's University Cllege Crk. Rss ntes that the design is still at a beginning stage and that many technical challenges remain, such as preventing crss pllutin between layers f raw and cked meat. Still, Rss is impressed by the device's ability t prduce fds utside the field f cnventinal cking. "Is this ging t be sld in shps everywhere in the next few years? N," she says. "But everyne has t start smewhere."
28. What makes the new design different frm a cmmn cker?
A. It wrks autmatically.
B. It is attached t a printer.
C. It cks the whle f fd.
D. It can prcess varius materials.
29. Hw des the design wrk?
A. By custmizing the dishes.
B. By accessing 3-D technlgy.
C. By turning the fd upside dwn.
D. By using beams f diverse wavelengths.
30. What is the new advantage f the design?
A. It is mre flexible t perate.
B. It can prcess meat.
C. It avids crss fd pllutin.
D. It can be applied t QR cde.
31. What can we infer abut the design frm Rss' wrds?
A. It makes a meaningful start.
B. It will be well received sn.
C. It ges well with technlgy.
D. It is well thught f by the public.

The tw terms nature and nurture have been subjects f cmparisn since the 16th century.The argument is centered n the questin as t whether it is nature r nurture that makes us wh we are.
Nature prvides the starting pint fr an rganism that will interact with nurture, the envirnment, during the rganism's life. Nature des nt just affect an rganism during its lifetime, but it als can directly affect the expressin f genes in ffspring (后代). Fr the Geneticists, they believe that ur lives are entirely determined by genetics, which is nature. An ppsing view is that there is n indicatin that genes (基因) determines ne's persnality, rather there is grwing evidence that nurture serves as the determining factr in persnality develpment.
Nurture refers t the cnditins under which living things grw and develp after birth. When applied t human beings, it means hw the persn is raised, which includes nutritin, educatin, care, as well as the kind f surrundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.
The argument f rature and nurture as t which is mre imprtant is necessitated by an attempt t differentiate hw much effect genetics has n a persn's develpment against hw easily humans are influenced by ne's envirnment.
While nurture undeniably plays its part n the grwth and develpment f ne's persnality, nature dramatically utweighs nurture, fr nature can be likened t a fundatin. The impact f nurture n the develpment f persns. cannt be ttally denied. Hwever, nature is regarded as being f mst imprtance because f the fact that it affrds an pprtunity and creates a fundatin and the basis fr the questin f nurture t arise at the very first instance. Even withut nurture, the nature impact can still stand independently withut necessarily causing destructin. Mre s, even when the nurture impact is successfully effected, it des nt remve the genetic characteristics f a persn. It therefre stands crrectly that nature is that which determines the substance f a persn.
32.What can we leamn frm Paragraph 22
A. Nature's rle is supprted by additinal evidence.
B. Persnality develpment is determined by nurture.
C. Nature impacts gene expressin in later generatin.
D. Envirnment shapes persnality mre than genetics.
33. What des Paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. What nurture means t human beings.
B. Hw living things develp after birth.
C. Hw nurture shapes human develpment.
D. Hw surrundings influence human beings.
34. Hw des the authr stress the greater imprtance f nature?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making cntrast.
C. By cnducting experiments.
D. By citing research data.
D. By citing research data.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. A Lng Stry f Nature and Nurture
B. A New Research n Nature and Nurture
C. Wh Can Tell What Makes Wh We Are?
D. Which Is Mre Imprtant, Nature r Nurture?

Start seeds early indrs and re-plant them int larger cntainers several times befre mving them utdrs. 38 , remving leaves frm the bttm ne- third f plants and burying stems up t the next set f leaves. This will prduce strnger plants.
Remve new flwers that develp at the tp f the plant when lder fruits near the bttm begin t grw. 39 . Pay clse attentin! Observe the plants daily fr psts and diseases.React quickly t prevent prblems.
Remve the small grwths where the plant's stems and branches meet. This will prevent them frm taking away nutrients and shading develping fruit under them.
40 instead f letting them develp int a shrter, wider shrub（灌木）.
Finally, water, fertilize and weed!
A. Plant them deep each time
B. Rich sil benefits the grwth
C. Tmates are nt difficult t grw
D. Skills are demanding in grwing tmates
E. Cut back the plants t keep nly ne main branch
F. They are all genetically designed t prduce large fruit
G. This will frce the plant t prduce fewer but larger tmates

After summer vacatin, I did my first shw fr my class. The respnse was favrable. I perfrmed fr family get-tgethers and did shws n a number f ccasins t practice my new skill.
It isn't easy learning ventrilquism. The difficult part was develping the vice, because at first, it was sft and hard t hear. I memrized the rutines and perfrmed mre. With time, I gt better respnses. The lud laughter was nnstp, in additin t the applause.
Fur years later, my mther purchased a prfessinal ventrilquial figure, which I named, Freddie O'Sullivan. He was lifelike, with mving eyes, mving eyebrws, and culd stick ut his tngue. Treating Freddie like a real persn enhanced my perfrmance.
In cllege, Freddie was well knwn. He wuld tell peple that he was the nly guy that culd sleep in the girl's drmitry. Over the years, I wn many talent awards.

Tmrrw's menus culd feature items prepared with cmplex cking techniques and presentatin — all at the push f a buttn. Clumbia University mechanical engineers have designed a 3-D printer that can prduce and ck dishes at the same time with details at the millimeter scale.
The design cmbines a multi-wavelength laser (激光) cker, rughly the size f five smart phnes piled tgether, with a micrwave-ven-sized fd printer. The system uses varius light wavelengths t ck in different ways: a shrt-waved blue laser ges deep inside meat, fr example, while infrared beams (红外线光束) brwn the surface. As the device's rbtic arm places fine layers f chicken purce (酱，糊), a high-pwered beam mves ver them and cks the meat — with literally laser-fcused precisin. Thus, users can achieve perfect results — say, a machine-made burger that varies between rare and well dne in a checkerbard pattern.
"It gives yu a lt mre cntrl and custmizatin（定制），” says Jnathan Blutinger, lead authr f the paper and a digital-cking researcher at Clumbia. The researchers tested nly chicken fr this study, but the system can wrk with ther fds as well.
Beynd applying diverse materials and presentatin patterns, this type f sftware-cntrlled setup culd smeday scan a QR cde t autmatically prepare dishes tailred t individual eating habits and dietary restrictins, Blutinger says.
The new technlgy is "astnishing", says Megan Rss, a fd scientist wh studies 3-D printing at Ireland's University Cllege Crk. Rss ntes that the design is still at a beginning stage and that many technical challenges remain, such as preventing crss pllutin between layers f raw and cked meat. Still, Rss is impressed by the device's ability t prduce fds utside the field f cnventinal cking. "Is this ging t be sld in shps everywhere in the next few years? N," she says. "But everyne has t start smewhere."
28. What makes the new design different frm a cmmn cker?
A. It wrks autmatically.
B. It is attached t a printer.
C. It cks the whle f fd.
D. It can prcess varius materials.
29. Hw des the design wrk?
A. By custmizing the dishes.
B. By accessing 3-D technlgy.
C. By turning the fd upside dwn.
D. By using beams f diverse wavelengths.
30. What is the new advantage f the design?
A. It is mre flexible t perate.
B. It can prcess meat.
C. It avids crss fd pllutin.
D. It can be applied t QR cde.
31. What can we infer abut the design frm Rss' wrds?
A. It makes a meaningful start.
B. It will be well received sn.
C. It ges well with technlgy.
D. It is well thught f by the public.

The tw terms nature and nurture have been subjects f cmparisn since the 16th century.The argument is centered n the questin as t whether it is nature r nurture that makes us wh we are.
Nature prvides the starting pint fr an rganism that will interact with nurture, the envirnment, during the rganism's life. Nature des nt just affect an rganism during its lifetime, but it als can directly affect the expressin f genes in ffspring (后代). Fr the Geneticists, they believe that ur lives are entirely determined by genetics, which is nature. An ppsing view is that there is n indicatin that genes (基因) determines ne's persnality, rather there is grwing evidence that nurture serves as the determining factr in persnality develpment.
Nurture refers t the cnditins under which living things grw and develp after birth. When applied t human beings, it means hw the persn is raised, which includes nutritin, educatin, care, as well as the kind f surrundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.
The argument f rature and nurture as t which is mre imprtant is necessitated by an attempt t differentiate hw much effect genetics has n a persn's develpment against hw easily humans are influenced by ne's envirnment.
While nurture undeniably plays its part n the grwth and develpment f ne's persnality, nature dramatically utweighs nurture, fr nature can be likened t a fundatin. The impact f nurture n the develpment f persns. cannt be ttally denied. Hwever, nature is regarded as being f mst imprtance because f the fact that it affrds an pprtunity and creates a fundatin and the basis fr the questin f nurture t arise at the very first instance. Even withut nurture, the nature impact can still stand independently withut necessarily causing destructin. Mre s, even when the nurture impact is successfully effected, it des nt remve the genetic characteristics f a persn. It therefre stands crrectly that nature is that which determines the substance f a persn.
32.What can we leamn frm Paragraph 22
A. Nature's rle is supprted by additinal evidence.
B. Persnality develpment is determined by nurture.
C. Nature impacts gene expressin in later generatin.
D. Envirnment shapes persnality mre than genetics.
33. What des Paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. What nurture means t human beings.
B. Hw living things develp after birth.
C. Hw nurture shapes human develpment.
D. Hw surrundings influence human beings.
34. Hw des the authr stress the greater imprtance f nature?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making cntrast.
C. By cnducting experiments.
D. By citing research data.
D. By citing research data.
35. What is the best title fr the text?
A. A Lng Stry f Nature and Nurture
B. A New Research n Nature and Nurture
C. Wh Can Tell What Makes Wh We Are?
D. Which Is Mre Imprtant, Nature r Nurture?

Start seeds early indrs and re-plant them int larger cntainers several times befre mving them utdrs. 38 , remving leaves frm the bttm ne- third f plants and burying stems up t the next set f leaves. This will prduce strnger plants.
Remve new flwers that develp at the tp f the plant when lder fruits near the bttm begin t grw. 39 . Pay clse attentin! Observe the plants daily fr psts and diseases.React quickly t prevent prblems.
Remve the small grwths where the plant's stems and branches meet. This will prevent them frm taking away nutrients and shading develping fruit under them.
40 instead f letting them develp int a shrter, wider shrub（灌木）.
Finally, water, fertilize and weed!
A. Plant them deep each time
B. Rich sil benefits the grwth
C. Tmates are nt difficult t grw
D. Skills are demanding in grwing tmates
E. Cut back the plants t keep nly ne main branch
