14、come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isnt stopping there.Food productionWith a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated(复杂的) chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake.
15、 Not everybody can do thatit takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “recreate forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same”, freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3Dp
16、rinted, rather than farm to table.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food to meet their own nutritional needs, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterd
17、ays bread from the supermarket, youd eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing proces
18、s is quite timeconsuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are bet
19、ter suited for fast food restaurants than homes and highend restaurants.()31. What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A. It helps cooks to create new dishes. B. It makes the dishes more delicious.C. It saves time and effort in cooking. D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.()32.
20、 According to Paragraph 3, 3Dprinted food _A. is more available to customers B. can keep all the nutrition in raw materialsC. is more tasty than food in supermarkets D. can meet individual nutritional needsBMany of us love July because its the month when natures berries and stone fruits are in abund
21、ance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbias fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc(not that fruits have muc
22、h protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combi
23、ned with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like
24、, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a_juicer,_you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “softserve
25、” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a childrens party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.()33. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better. B. To

27、l brochure.CThere has long been a notion(观念) that money buys happiness. However, although “we really, really tried that for a couple of generations, it didnt work,” said Francine Jay, author of The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life.Thanks to a
28、 travelinspired revelation(启发), Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12 years. “I always packed as lightly as possible, and found it exciting to get by with just a small carryon bag,” she told CNN. “I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly, how amazing would it be to live this wa
29、y? I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life.”Jay decided to get rid of all her excess(额外的) possessions and live with just the essentials(必需品). “I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences, rather than things.”Jay is a follower of a movement called “minimalism(极简主义)”. Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world. They share the same feeling of disappointment with modern life and a desire to live more simply. Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about th
