Kelly’s PE Class
Kelly loved school, especially PE class. She was a very good student and enjoyed reading and math. But Kelly had a 30 time in PE class. She could not run really fastand she was not good at jumping. Sometimes, the other kids in her PE class gave her a hard time and made fun of her. So why would Kelly love PE class?
The reason Kelly enjoyed going to PE class was that Mr. Burns, her teacher , always
told her to do her best. Even if she only ran for a few 31 , Mr. Burns said, “Good job. Next time, you will be able to go a little longer.” Mr. Burns even put a small box on the gym floor so Kelly could practice jumping over it. “Great job, Kelly!” “You get better every day!”
That night when Kelly finished dinner, she began practicing 32 over boxes. She could jump over three boxes! The next day Kelly did jump over three boxes in class. The other kids started to 33 how well Kelly was doing and said to her, “Good job!”
It was Tuesday and time for the weekly relay race in PE class. Kelly was 34 that she would not be able to go very far, or some kids would laugh at her. But, when Mr. Burns said, “Ready, go,” Kelly thought, I can do it, I can do it. As Kelly ran around the track, she found herself moving 35 into first place! Suddenly, she heard many cheers and kids yelling, “Go Kelly! You can do it!” That was all she needed to hear. Kelly ran as fast as she could, and headed for the finishing line. She made it! Kelly finished first! The kids clapped and cheered for her. Kelly felt so good and 36 of herself. “Thank you Mr. Burns,” said Kelly. “Kelly, you ran the race, not me.” “Yes, but you always said I could 37 it.”
After that day, Kelly tried her hardest at everything, and the kids no longer made fun of her. In fact, when the kids needed someone on their team for38 , Kelly was the first person they picked! Thanks to Mr. Burns, Kelly had the 39 she needed to do anything!

3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, prosthetic limbs (假肢), musical instruments and so on. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very
quickly and easily using 3D printers.
But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying torevolutionize our eating experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as usual as the microwave or blender. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to choose a recipe and put the food “inks” into the printer. You can also change the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create delicious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging as food production would be quicker and easier. Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (吞咽障碍症). They could program (为…编程) the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them.
However, some people think that the future of 3D-printed food would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those for growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Similarly, traditional cafés and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are worries about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to get the nutrients (营养物) we need from food-based inks and gels?
What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the fun of cooking is dead and meals can be done at the touch of a button. 51. What should we do first if we want to print food?
A. Choose a recipe. B. Program the printer.
C. Change the instructions. D. Put food “inks” into the printer. 52. What does the underlined word revolutionizein Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Remember clearly. B. Take seriously. C. Change completely. D. Teach carefully. 53. Which could be the advantage (好处)of 3D food printing?
A. Saving the environment. B. Giving people nutrients.
C. Helping with traditional farming. D. Offering more job chances. 54. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Why is 3D printing so popular? B. Will 3D printing be the future of food? C. 3D food printers in the kitchens D. Different opinions on 3D printing 七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共8分，每小题2分）

After college, Judy worked for the city of Los Angeles. She taught art in a neighborhood called Boyle Heights. Different groups of teenagers hung out there. The groups did not get along well. Judy wanted them to work together, so she decided to paint a mural with 20 teenagers from different groups. She helped them put aside their differences.
Some people in the community tried to stop Judy’s work, but she didn’t give up. When the mural was done, people loved it. It was calledMiAbuelita, which means my grandmother. The mural showed a Mexican American grandmother with open arms. She looked as if she was offering a hug. It became a symbol of unity.
Later, Judy started two programs to get people to paint murals all over Los Angeles. They make art for people of all different backgrounds and cultures. 55. Is Judy Baca an American artist?
56. Where did Judy live when she was young?
