If you live in Europe or the Americas, you likely pick up a fork every day and give no thought to it. Using it probably seems as natural as breathing. Yet compared with the knife and the spoon, which appeared very early, the fork is a latecomer to the table.
Researches show that the fork was first used in Ancient Egypt, China and Greece. Since the 4th century BC, the fork managed to become common on the tables of upper society in Eastern Europe and by the 9th century, it travelled to the Middle East and started being used by the upper class under the name “barjyn”. This enabled the fork to slowly become popular in these areas.
In the 11th century, the fork came to Italy in the dowry of a princess (王妃的嫁妆) from the Middle East who married an Italian official. After seeing the princess use the fork, the church strongly criticized her, saying that the fork disrespected the practice of using the fingers. Then the fork disappeared from the table for nearly 300 years. It began to get acceptance in Italy by the late 16th century, because the upper-class Italians expressed renewed interest in cleanliness. However, most European countries accepted the fork only by the 18th century and United States didn’t welcome it until the early 19th century.
During its life, the fork has changed in terms of appearance. In its early use, the fork had only two tines (齿). As the centuries went on, its design slowly started taking on a modern look. The fork that we know today, which has four tines, was introduced in the 18th century in Germany. By the early 20th century, the invention of stainless steel(不锈钢)enabled the fork to be made more easily. Since then, the fork hasn’t changed much in design.
1.Which is a latecomer to the table, the knife, the spoon or the fork?
2.In what countries was the fork first used?
3.When did most European countries accept the fork?
4.What enabled the fork to be made more easily?
5.What’s the passage mainly about?

Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to find enough time to study every subject you need. So a good plan helps you to make sure of your success in study.
Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin with listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should decide how much time you should spend on different subjects. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember easily. While arranging(安排)time for each subject, you also need to make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. This is because you won’t be able to succeed in your studies unless you balance your personal life and your study.
Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges in following your study plan is that you will be tempted(诱惑)to avoid it and do something relaxing, or fun instead. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take extra breaks or too long breaks as it can affect your plan. So at the start of your break, set an alarm clock to remind you when your break is over. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music.
To avoid forgetting to follow your plan, try to get into the habit of looking at your calendar every day. sometimes our plans are hard to follow because some important people in our lives distract(使分心)us from our goals. In order to avoid this, tell people in your life about your plan. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have spare time.
根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)误(F)。

Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer!
The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to design(设计) an object on the computer and choose a material(材料) to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses “print”, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer(层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.
The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.
But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000 from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think thatcriminalslike them might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.
But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into use. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!
1._______ invented the first 3-D printer.
A.Charles Hull B.Dirk Vander Kooj

d. Use a computer to design an object.
A.a-b-c-d B.d-a-b-c
C.a-c-d-b D.d-c-b-a
3.The underlined word “criminals” in the fourth paragraph might mean ______________ in Chinese.
A.技术员 B.军人 C.罪犯 D.用户
4.According to the passage, people have NOT yet produced _________ with a 3-D printer.

5.What does the writer think of the 3-D printer?
A.It is necessary only for our work.

Hi, I’m Tom. When I was about 12 years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin;I wasn’t a good student;I talked too much;I was too proud and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father.
He listened to me quietly. Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a list of what she said and find the things that are true.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise,I found that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the first time,I got a clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it. “That’s just for you, ” he said. “You know the truth about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you,you should find it helpful.”
Our world is full of people who think they know your problems. Don’t be angry and feel hurt. Listen to them.

A Farewell Song
No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain; 1.
I invite you to drink a cup of wine again;
West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen. (Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
Time flies and you will soon be finished with junior high school.2.This feeling was shared more than 1,000 years ago, when the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei (701-761) had to say goodbye to his friend.
3.After the rain, the road is clean and free of dust, and the willows (柳树) by the hotel are fresh and green. On this morning, Wang has to say goodbye to his friend Yuan Er, who would leave for a faraway place called Anxi in today's Xinjiang.
The last two lines are the most well-known.4.Although most cities in China were prosperous (繁华的) during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the western areas were quite desolate (荒凉的).
The journey to the west would be full of hardship, Wang thought. So when Wang says “I invite you to drink a cup of wine again,” he is pouring his care and good wishes into the cup as well.5. Everyone wishes good luck before goodbye so the poem is really worth reading again and again.
A.A Farewell Song begins with a lovely morning scene.
B.The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
C.The poet invites Yuan to drink wine because he knows that life in Anxi will be tough.
D.It might be a little sad to say goodbye to your teachers and classmates.
E.This sincere love for his friend made this poem popular back then and it remains so today.
