Ping Pong Door----------------------------------------------------

Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping pong game is over, it goes back to being a normal door. It was designed by Tobias Fränzel from Germany. Cool concept!

Dog Watch -------------------------------------------------------------- The dog watch is actually a \"clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time\" and was invented in 1991. With this handy watch, you can be aware of time at your animal‟s rate instead of your own. According to the inventor, the watch multiplies every human second, minute and hour by seven, thus giving us \"doggy time\". If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years!

Earthquake House --------------------------------------------------------

Big earthquakes can damage a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But our inventor has a solution, the Earthquake House!

His idea is simple, build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it. If the sensors signal the big earthquake, the house is automatically released (松开) from its chains. Don't worry. You always remain upright in it. We don't recommend(推荐) this for a hillside home because there aren't any brakes to stop it!

Smell this ---------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It‟s difficult to know because it‟s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask (面罩) on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.

A) your room B) enough space C) ping pong game D) ping-pong table 70. If a dog lives to 5 years old, that translates to human years. A) 25 B) 30 C) 35 D) 40

静安 2015学年二模 In the past you could draw anything you wanted on a computer screen and then print it out on a piece of paper--a flat piece of paper. But imagine being able to print something that is three-dimensional-3D.Would you like to design an object, such as a cup of toy, and then “print” it out? Well, there is the technology to help you do this--to produce even a whole house!

3D printers might be the size of a suitcase, or even a small room, depending on the object they are made to produce. You make a 3D design on your computer and sent it to the printer. Inside the machine, the object you have designed is made as one object.

So how is this being used? In medicine, 3D printing is often used to make teeth. The dentist takes a 3D image, something like a photo, of a real tooth and a new one is printed in the exact shape. Then you might also want to print a mobile phone cover or a special pair of shoes.

Scientists are taking this even further. They have made a bicycle that just needs a chain and two tyres (轮胎).Car parts have been made for a while, and now they are even making a body of a whole car!

But imagine how printing a whole house might help people build houses. A Chinese company has made houses using a giant 3D printer. They use a mixture that includes concrete(混凝土)and recycled building waste. This is a good thing as it helps the environment. They believe that their method of printing houses is cheaper, faster, less dusty and less noisy than the ordinary way that houses are built. It seems that 3D printing technology will change our world, and China is leading the way. 69.3D _______enables you to “print” out many objects you design on your computer.

B.3D printing technology helps the environment while building houses.

C. It‟s believed to be cheaper and faster to use the method of printing houses.
