While astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!
About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed (消耗) in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
1.Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?
A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.
B. To show they live a difficult life there.
C. To show their life is boring in space.
D. To introduce the topic of the text.
2.NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ________.
A. create some new type of 3-D printer
B. attract more companies to work for NASA
C. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one day
D. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits
3.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that ________.
A. he has no money left to go on with his research
B. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza lovers
C. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty years
D. he cannot make the food container last for decades
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat better
B. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizza
C. NASA is working on making pizza for common people
D. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizza

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When asked by Conan O’Brien if his daughters had smartphones, comedian Louis CK explained that he had ________replied, “No, you can’t have it. It's bad for you. I don’t ________ what you want.” This hit home for me because at the time, I was in difficult negotiations with my ten-year-old daughter ________ one. And frankly, she was winning. CK added, “I’m not raising the ________ --- I’m raising the grown-ups that they’re going to be. So just ________ the other stupid kids have phones doesn’t mean that my kid has to be stupid, or ________ she’ll feel weird.” OK, I was sold.
Cell phones are “toxic, especially for kids,” he said, because they don’t help them learn empathy, one of the nicer human ________ . When we text, the ________ we get is in cold, hard text-speak. Why are kids ________? he asked. “Because they’re trying it out. They look at another kid and go. ‘You’re fat.’ Then they find the kid’s unhappy, and they think, Ooh, that doesn’t feel ________.” There, they’ve experienced empathy. Texting “you’re fat” allows you to bypass the pain you’ve caused.
CK went on to explain to us that smartphones rob us of our ability to be ________. Kids use smartphones to ________y!!! After all, one of the joys of being human is allowing our minds to ________ . With cell phones, kids are always preoccupied. They never daydream, ________ in class. And here’s something else we’re ________ out on thanks to Steve Jobs’s little device: our right to be ________ . This was a right I hadn’t realized I desired until CK pointed out that it’s yet another of the essential human emotions.
“Everybody’s murdering each other with their cars” as they text, CK screamed, because they fear being alone. Too bad —they’re missing out on a life affirming experience.
“I was in my car one time, and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Jungleland’ came on,” he said. “And he sounds so far away. It made me really sad. And I think, OK, I’ve got to get the phone and write hi to 50 people. I was ________ for the phone, and I thought, Don’t! Just be sad.” So CK ________ over and allowed himself to sob like a little girl ________ that brand-new four-poster bed for her American Girl doll. “It was beautiful. You’re lucky to ________ sad moments,” he said. And because he didn’t fight and push it away with that little phone, because he allowed himself to be miserable, his body released endorphins(内啡肽). “And that’s why I don’t want to get phones for my kids.” CK said. And I suppose I don’t either.

Do you like shopping? Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money. For me, it's something I would rather avoid. Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items, even food, from the comfort of your sofa. But that’s not the only reason: price is an important factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper online. But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.
Showrooming is something I've done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a lower price. I'm not alone in doing this. Research by a company called Foolproof, found 24％of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cashman, Head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time, lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying.” She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.
But does this mean technology will kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn’t forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen but at least by showrooming, you get the best of both worlds!
1.The two questions in Paragraph 1 are raised to
A. give two examples
B. introduce the topic
C. compare different opinions
D. get answers from readers
2.What does showrooming mean in the text?
A. Trying in shops and buying online.
B. Showing products in a room.
C. Buying something in a store.
D. Shopping on the Internet.
3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Online shops will disappear.
B. Free gifts will surely promote sales.
C. Shops need necessary changes.
D. Shops will be replaced by online shops.
4.The author's attitude towards showrooming is .
A. critical B. negative C. casual D. supportive

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
What Is Emotional Eating?
Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger．__1.__ Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.
_2.__ One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings．Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored．But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast．Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce．__3.__
Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done．__4._ It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating．But it is possible．And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.
We’re all emotional eaters to a degree．But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems．The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain．__5.__ That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.
Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.
A．Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.
B．If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.
C．One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.
D．And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.
E．Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.
F．Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.
G．More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.
