3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments and even cars. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily by using 3D printers.But can you imagine printing food? It could be real as some scientists are trying to change the dining experience completely by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the blender or microwave. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to choose a recipe(食谱)and put the uncooked food "inks" into the printer to make the food you want. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and healthy meals.Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, shipping and packaging. Steps as food production would be a lot quicker and much greener. For example, tree leaves and insects could be turned into tasty products!Printing food could also help people who have a swallowing(吞咽)trouble. They could program the printer to print softer kinds of their favorite foods so that they would not have difficulty swallowing them.However, some people think that a future of 3D-printed food would be a disaster. lt could take away many jobs, including those for growing, shipping and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes and structures could be printed from an uncooked "food ink". Traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business, too.Also, there are worries about the healthy value of printed food: is it really possible to get what we need from food-based "inks" or something like that? As we know, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity.

3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to print things such as clothing, musical instruments and even cars. People and businesses are able to create the things they need very quickly and easily by using 3D printers.
But can you imagine printing food? It could be real as some scientists are trying to change the dining experience completely by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will become as common as the blender or microwave. Scientists say that they are easy to use: you simply have to choose a recipe(食谱)and put the uncooked food "inks" into the printer to make the food you want. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and healthy meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, shipping and packaging. Steps as food production would be a lot quicker and much greener. For example, tree leaves and insects could be turned into tasty products!
Printing food could also help people who have a swallowing(吞咽)trouble. They could program the printer to print softer kinds of their favorite foods so that they would not have difficulty swallowing them.

Also, there are worries about the healthy value of printed food: is it really possible to get what we need from food-based "inks" or something like that?
As we know, 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 pastime of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.

第(1)题
关键句:第二段首句"But can you imagine printing food? It could be real as some scientists are trying to change the dining experience completely by doing this."
解析:本段围绕科学家推动3D食品打印技术展开,强调其可行性与未来愿景,而非具体操作方法或现状。选项D(科学家正努力实现3D食品打印)最贴合段落主旨。
第(2)题
关键句:第三段"For example, tree leaves and insects could be turned into tasty products!"
解析:例子说明3D打印可利用非常规食材(如树叶、昆虫)制作食物,论证"打印食材来源广泛"。选项C(帮助理解可用哪些原料打印)符合例证目的。
第(3)题
关键信息:文章提到以下缺点:
- 失去传统农业、运输、包装等岗位(第4段);
- 传统餐饮业可能流失顾客(第4段);
- 食物健康价值存疑(第5段);
- 餐饮社交功能可能消失(第5段)。
答案:共3个直接缺点(前三个),第四个为隐含影响,故选B。
第(4)题
关键句:最后一段"As we know, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity."
解析:作者强调传统烹饪的社交价值,暗含对3D打印取代烹饪的否定,故选C(烹饪更令人愉快)。
第(5)题
隐含推断:文章首段科学家目标是"彻底改变用餐体验",末段暗示传统餐饮可能消亡,故选D(用餐体验将不同)。
