D.Economics.【答案】24.C25.A26.D27.B【語篇導讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一對加拿大夫婦放棄在卡爾加里的生活，移居墨西哥，開辦帶有床位的早餐旅館，以及他們在墨西哥生活二十多年的經歷和感受的故事。【24題詳析】細節理解題。根據第一段“However,theirfamilyandfriendsheldadifferentattitude.“Asamatteroffact,mybestfriendsaid,‘Brooke,ifyou’rehavingamidlifecrisis,wouldn’titbeeasiertodosomethingsimple,likechangingyourhaircolor?’”saysBrooke.(然而，他們的家人和朋友卻持不同的態度。“事實上，我最好的朋友對我說，‘布魯克，如果你正在經歷中年危機，做一些簡單的事情不是更容易嗎，比如改變你的頭發顏色？’”布魯克說。)”可知，朋友們對布魯克和里克夫婦的決定感到擔心。故選C。【25題詳析】細節理解題。根據第二段“Afterexploringforsixmonths,theydecidedonHuatulco,acoastaltowninOaxaca.(在探索了六個月后，他們決定去瓦哈卡州的一個沿海小鎮華圖爾科。)”可知，布魯克和里克夫婦決定前往瓦圖爾科之前做了些調查。故選A。【26題詳析】推理判斷題。根據第三段“Ittookthemalittlewhiletonavigatesomeoftheculturaldifferences,particularlydealingwiththelaid-back(悠閑的)approachtotimeandschedulingappointmentsinthecountry.(他們花了一段時間來處理一些文化差異，特別是處理在這個國家悠閑的時間和安排約會的方式。)”可推斷，在瓦圖爾科，文化差異可能是布魯克和里克夫婦最大的挑戰。故選D。【27題詳析】推理判斷題。根據第二段“InFebruary1999,theyleftCalgaryforMexico.Afterexploringforsixmonths,theydecidedonHuatulco,acoastaltowninOaxaca.(1999年2月，他們離開卡爾加里前往墨西哥。在探索了六個月后，他們決定去瓦哈卡州的一個沿海小鎮華圖爾科。)”及全文可知，文章主要講述了一對加拿大夫婦搬遷至墨西哥瓦圖爾科及瑪瑞達的故事，所以文章最有可能出現在報紙的“人物”版塊。故選B。CWithadesktop3Dprinter,youcandoanything.Frommakingprostheticlegsorwheelchairsforimmobileanimalstostylishpiecesofdecorations—thistechnologyisproposingafasterandmoreefficientmethodthatyoucantakeadvantageoftocreatethingsinthecomfortofyourhome.Inspiteoftherecentcrazefor3Dprinters,thisgroundbreakingtechnologyisactuallyolderthanyouthink.Desktop3Dprintershavebeenmadeuseofbydesignersandengineersformorethan30years,butonlyrecentlyhavethesemultifunctionalmachinesmadetheirwayintohomesandbecomeincreasinglypopular.Today,3Dprintinghasenabledfreedomandcreativityforeveryonetocreatealmostanythingwithouttheneedforastorehouseorexpensivemachinery.Frenchdesigner,RémyVicarinipioneered3D-printedhelmets(頭盔)forhisadventure-lovingcat,Cathode.Vicarini’sjourneybeganwithadvancedCADsoftwarelikeFusion360toensurethesafetyofhiscatduringoutdooractivitiessuchascyclingandskiing,wherehemappedCathode’suniqueheaddimensionstomakeahelmettailoredtoit.Duringthedesignprocess,heemployedBooleanoperationstogeneratehoneycomb-shapedventilation(通風)holesonthehelmet’ssurfaceandintegratedadjustablebuckle(鎖扣)structures,balancingsafetyandcomfort.Thisdigital-to-physicalworkflowreducedthetrial-and-errorcostsoftraditionalhandcrafting.Thefutureof3Dprintingholdshugepotential,drivenbyadvancementsinmaterials,speedandaccessibility.Asthetechnologyimproves,wecanexpectprinterstobecomefaster,moreaffordable,andcapableofhandlingawiderrangeofmaterials,includingbiodegradable(可生物降解的)plasticsandevenmetals.Thiswillrevolutionizeindustrieslikehealthcare,enablingon-demandproductionofprostheticsandimplantstailoredtoindividualpatients.Inhomes,3Dprinterscouldbecomeascommonasmicrowaves,allowingpeopletocreateeverythingfromcustomfurnituretoreplacementparts.Moreover,AIintegrationmaystreamlinedesignprocesses,making3Dprintingevenmoreuser-friendly.28.Whatcanweknowfromparagraph2?A.Thepopularityof3Dprinting.
