Task 2
If you think 3D printing is only good for making delicate
paperweights( 压纸器 ), then you’re pretty much right. However, a
group of Dutch architects have already begun 3D printing an entire
canal house in Amsterdam. Is the first 3D printed house a gimmick( 喙
头 ) ？ Definitely!Is it an experiment that pushes the possibilities
for 3D printing technology and architecture? Maybe!
3D Print Canal House is the brainchild of DUS Architects.
“KamerMaker,”Dutch for“room maker”, is their giant printer
built inside a shipping container.Just a few weeks ago, KamerMaker
began printing plastic furniture and walls at an empty canal-side
lot in northern Amsterdam. Smaller versions of the unusual honeycomb
walls have been tested on normal desktop printers,and everyone just
needed to scale it up ( 按比例放大 ). Well, if only it were that easy.
“The printer did not always manage to spread the plastic
evenly( 均匀的 ) ， making some of the ribs of the honeycomb structure
of the block uneven, ”reported ARN(Australian Radio Network) to the
surprise of no one who has used a 3D printer. But the architects
remain optimistic.The first few printed blocks are means to be test
prices as they improve the process.
It takes about a week to print a 3-meter high block right now. The project ’s le aders hope to eventually get that down to two hours
and finish the first of 12 rooms in a year, and the entire house
in less than 3 years.
Finally, 3D Print Canal House is an architecture research project, one that is very much being conducted in the public eye.
You can actually buy tickets to visit the construction site for
Euros.
The top floors will become more decorated, for example, as
newer techniques are used.They’ll explore the possibilities of
3D printing,like honeycomb walls or an entire room recycled, redesigned, and built again. Nobody’s going to move into 3D printed house soon, but, if anyone ever dose, something might be learned
from this experiment by the email.
41.What have the Dutch architects begun to use 3D printer to
do according to the passage?___
A.To make heavy paperweights.
B.To print the unusual honeycomb.
C.To print an entire canal house.
D.To build a shipping container
42. Where did KamerMaker begin printing plastic furniture and walls several weeks ago?
A. It was inside a shipping container in Amsterdam.
B. It was at an empty canal-side lot in northern Amsterdam.
C. It was in a canal house in Amsterdam.
D. It was in a room.
43. What is the weakness of the 3D printer mentioned in the passage?

Task 3
Let ’s say you have a certain amount of money you’ve saved up for holiday gifts. If you want to get something for everyone on
your list, you can’t spend much on any single purchase.
But have you ever heard the expression "time is money "? There’s some truth to it! We“spend” time ju st like we “spend”
money, and in both cases, we have to spend it wisely if we want to
get something good in return. Just like you might get an allowance
of 10 dollars a week. Or 38 dollars for a trip to the mall, each
day we are given 24 hours of time.
The earliest way to help you get everything done to budget that time! This is all about:
-Examining your Have-to ’s and Want - to ’s.
-Examining your how much time your Have-to ’s and Want - to ’s will take up.
-Working out a plan that let ’s you s peed the amount of time on each one.
Once you have this plan, a“time budget”, you’ll be better
able to create a Daily Schedule and Weekly Planner. Of course,
everyday isn’t exactly the same as the next, so it may help you
to make a different time budget for different days.
Let ’s look at a sample time budget on Wednesday:
Sleep8 hours
Shower, dressing, ready for school1/2 hour
Breakfast1/2 hour
Bus for school1/2 hour
School7 hours
Bus home1/2 hour
Soccer practice 2 hours
Household chores1/2 hour
Homework 2 hours
Dinner1/2 hour
TV time 1 hour
Reading/personal time 1 hour
Total time spent24 hours
Great! That day’s budget works out, because it all adds up
24 hours. If the total came out to be more than that, we would have
choose something to cut down or drop from that day. When you make
these types of decision, you choose priorities.
Time Budget Tips
Similarities between money and time : Both should be spent _____ to get a good return.
Task 4
[A]Interest in pursuing international careers has risen in recent
years strengthened by permanent personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
[B] Professionals seek career experience outside of their home
countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a
position with more responsibility that encourages creativity. Or
they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the
opportunity to learn a second language.
[C]When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or
curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing:
a one--or two--page document describing one's educational
qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines
for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is
to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the
country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring
decision. The challenge will be to include two or more cultures in
one document. The following list is a good place to start.
[D]“Educational requirements differ from country to country. In
almost every case of
'cross--border'job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description.Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. "
[E]Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or
reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work experience first. Reverse-chronological order
means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most
countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable.
If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for
the reverse-chronological format."
[F]If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the
receiver uses British English or American English because there are changes between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader
who is unfamiliar with these changes may assume that your resume
contains errors.
51.The author believes that an individual who applies to
work overseas seeks
either his own or his children's development.
52.When it comes to resume writing, it is best to take cultural
factors into
consideration.
53.According to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of
the differences between the changes of English.
54. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because they have difficulty
finding qualified personnel at home.
55. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to provide a detailed
description of their study and work experiences.
