For a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.
Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the robots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.
But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robot explorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.For a long time humans think ________.
| A．they can surely find life on Mars |
| B．there may be life on Mars |
| C．it’s too late for them to explore Mars now |
| D．Mars is the only planet that has life on it |
The two robots ________.
| A．have found out that it is warm and wet on Mars |
| B．were sent to Mars to find some stones |
| C．were the first two American robots that landed on Mars |
| D．are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far |
The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.
| A．it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to Mars |
| B．two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failed |
| C．Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfully |
| D．Mars is called the “death planet” |

If your pen broke at school today, what would you do? You would go to a shop and buy a new one. What if you could simply print out a real, working pen with your 3-D printer without leaving your room?
Ten years ago people could only see 3-D printing in science fiction（虚构的） movies. But now 3-D printing is here and it’s bringing big changes.
Unlike normal printing that can only copy a 2-D picture with ink（油墨），3-D printing can build almost anything made from material. The printer layers(分层) the material in different shapes to create the object you want to be copied.
The 3-D printer has been used to make many different things. People have made cups cars and even an airplane with it.
Doctors have been using 3-D printers for several years. People’s nervous systems （神经系统）have been printed out in 3-D form medical research. Some body parts have been printed and used in hospital. Several months ago, doctors used a 3-D printer to rebuild the face of a person who had a bad accident. In the future, it is expected（期待） that the printer will make human organs（器官） to save more lives.
However， there are drawbacks to the printer. At the moment, printing can be quite slow and it’s still rather expensive. The average(平均的) price of a household printer is around $1,700,not including the cost of the materials.
But as the technology develops, disadvantages will be improved. Only time will tell where this new technology will take us.
People could see 3-D printing in_________ten years ago.
A. large high school

A. The disadvantages of 3-D printing
B. the changes brought by 3-D printing
C. The rapid development of science
