Peek through the inspection windows of the nearly 100 three-dimensional (3D) printers quietly making things
at RedEye, a company based in Minnesota, and you can catch a glimpse of how factories will work in the future. It
is not simply that the machines run day and night ___39___ by just a handful of technicians. ___40___ it is what
they are making that shows how the revolutionary production process is ___41___ the manufacturing mainstream.
3D printers make things by building them up, a layer at a time, from a particular material, rather than ___42___
it by cutting, drilling or machining—which is why the process is also called additive manufacturing. There are many
ways in which this can be done, and with only a ___43___ adjustment of software each item can be different, without
the need for costly retooling of machines. This has made 3D printing a(n) ___44___ way to make one-off items,
especially prototype parts, mock-ups, small mechanical devices and craft items.
And that is about all that 3D printers are good for, ___45___ the doubters. Chief among them is Terry Gou, the

Mr. Gou is right about one thing: additive manufacturing is not about to replace mass manufacturing.
____48____ the technology is improving, the finish and durability of some printed items can still ____49____ what
producers require. And nor can 3D printers produce millions of ____50____ parts at low cost, as mass-production
lines can. ____51____, 3D printers have their virtues, which is why they are starting to be used by some of the world’s
biggest manufacturers, such as Airbus, Boeing, GE, Ford and Siemens.
The market for 3D printers and ____52____ is small, but growing fast. Last year it was worth $2.2 billion

Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship
in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live
with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters
and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby
to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to
follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and
English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She
drilled us in grammar,assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper.
Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me
proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to
her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she
continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly
from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough
love, until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become
a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
54. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph Two most probably mean?
A. Hobbies and clubs did not interest the author.
B. The author turned a deaf ear to joining clubs.

C. Hobbies and clubs were inaccessible to immigrants like the author.
D. The author had no idea what hobbies and clubs were all about.
55. Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?
A. Stepping on the American soil for the first time.
B. Her mother’s miserable death.
C. Being exposed to Greek literary works.
D. Following the prettiest girl in his class.
56. It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that _______.
A. Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation
B. Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching style
C. The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally fired
D. Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students
57. The passage is mainly concerned with _______.
A. how the author became a journalist B. the importance of inspiration in one’s life
C. the teacher who shaped the author’s life D. factors contributing to a successful career

Artificial intelligence or AI is called artificial for a good reason. Facebook made that point last week by ending
its attempt to rely heavily on software algorithms to select news items for its 2 billion users.
It announced on Jan.19 that the Facebook community will be asked to rank news outlets by their trustworthiness.
“This reader feedback will promote high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground in a world with so

much division”, said chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.
The first surveys have started in the United States and will soon expand to other countries. The company plans
to include the local news outlets of users in its surveys. Like many digital platforms that act as news providers
,
Facebook had great faith in a belief that programmed electrons in computer servers can discern qualities of thought
such as trust, fairness and honesty. Even in respected newsrooms, however, these traits of character require constant
upkeep among journalists and feedback from paying customers. Good judgment on news relies on orders of
consciousness beyond what a machine can do.
Rather than move toward becoming a hands-on gatekeeper of news, Facebook now hopes its “diverse and
representative” sampling of users can lead to a ranking of news outlets and that would bring a measure of objectivity
in its news feed. The company may be in the news business, but it has chosen to outsource news credibility to the
collective wisdom of individuals and their ability to distinguish truth from falsehood. By placing its trust in people
as seekers of truth, Facebook could earn greater trust from its users. This is also a lesson for many companies
especially digital platforms or those in the media business.
According to the latest survey of trust in institutions worldwide by Edelman communications firm, “media has
become the least-trusted institution for the first time more so than other businesses or government”. “In particular,
the US is enduring an unprecedented crisis of trust among many of. its institutions”, says Richard Edelman, president
and CEO of Edelman. “The root cause of this fall is the lack of objective facts and rational discourse”, he adds.
Facebook’s shift away from computer-driven news selection is a welcome step toward restoring trust in the overall
business of news. This is not a new problem. “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper”, wrote
Thomas Jefferson in 1807. Yet the Digital Age has forced the issue of trust for news providers. By inviting readers
to participate in solving this problem, Facebook has itself set a new bar for earning trust.
61. According to Paragraph 4, Facebook hopes to _______.
A. measure the objectivity of news feed on its own
B. improve its ability to tell truth from falsehood
C shed off the responsibility of a news provider
.
D. entrust news credibility to its massive users
62. In the last paragraph, Thomas Jefferson’s words are cited to indicate _______.
A. the poor quality of newspapers nowadays
B. the long-standing trust issue in news businesses
C. the problems arising from Facebook’s shift

D. the issue of trust in the Digital Age
63. The author holds that Facebook’s shift is _______.
A. a lesson for news providers on filtering news
B. the cause of the trust crisis across business of news
C. a step toward restoring user’s trust in news business
D. the result of lacking objective facts and rational discourse
64. To which of the following would Mark Zuckerberg most probably agree?
A. Common grounds among users are the sources of high-quality news.
B. Programmed electrons can make good judgment on news quality.
C. Computers cannot replace human beings in news selection.
D. Reader feedback is not needed in respected newsrooms.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence
can be used only once. Note that there are TWO MORE sentences than you need.
About 2,400 years ago in Athens a man was put to death for asking too many questions. There were philosophers
before him, but it was with Socrates that the subject really took off. ___65___.
Snub-nosed, podgy, shabby and a bit strange, Socrates did not fit in. Although physically ugly and often
unwashed, he had great charisma and a brilliant mind. Everyone in Athens agreed that there had never been anyone
quite like him and probably wouldn’t be again. He was unique. But he was also extremely annoying. He saw himself
as one of those horseflies that have a nasty bite—a gadfly. ___66___. Not everyone in Athens agreed, though. Some
loved him; others thought him a dangerous influence.
As a young man he had been a brave soldier fighting in the Peloponnesian War against the Spartans and their
allies. In middle age he shuffled around the marketplace, stopping people from time to time and asking them awkward
questions. ___67___. But the questions he asked were razor-sharp. They seemed straightforward; but they weren’t.
An example of this was his conversation with Euthydemus. Socrates asked him whether being deceitful counted
as being immoral. Of course it does, Euthydemus replied. He thought that was obvious. But what, Socrates asked, if
your friend is feeling very low and might kill himself, and you steal his knife? Isn’t that a deceitful act? Of course it
is. But isn’t it moral rather than immoral to do that? It’s a good thing, not a bad one—despite being a deceitful act.
Yes, said Euthydemus, who by now is tied in knots. Socrates by using a clever counter-example has shown that
Euthydemus’ general comment that being deceitful is immoral doesn’t apply in every situation. Euthydemus hadn’t
realized this before.

Over and over again Socrates demonstrated that the people he met in the marketplace didn’t really know what
they thought they knew. A military commander would begin a conversation totally confident that he knew what
“courage” meant, but after 20 minutes in Socrates’ company would leave completely confused. The experience must
have been disconcerting. Socrates loved to reveal the limits of what people genuinely understood, and to question the
assumptions on which they built their lives. ___68___. Far better that than to carry on believing that you understood
something when you didn’t.
A. That was more or less all he did.
B. What made Socrates so wise was that he kept asking questions and he was always willing to debate his ideas.
C. They are irritating, but don’t do serious harm.
D. If philosophy has a patron saint, it is Socrates.
E. It meant understanding the true nature of our existence, including the limits of what we can know.
