Building with 3D printing technology is sparking widespread interest in the construction industry. Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment, it can speed up construction from weeks, or months, to days. To see how the technology can change the world around us, here are some projects that highlight bold ideas in 3D print building.
Instant Neighborhood
Community building takes on new meaning with the creation of a neighborhood of 3D printed homes in Tabasco, Mexico, aimed at tackling global homelessness. American non-profit New Story and tech company ICON built each concrete house from start to completion in 24 hours. New Story says its aim is to provide shelter for people without homes around the world.
Nested Housing
Shamballa is the idea of Italian 3D print construction company WASP. This project uses soil and straw to build a home in days that cost only 48 Euros in materials and energy. Its round designs are based on the wasp (黄蜂) nest. Each home features a laboratory with a desktop 3D printer for making furniture, artistic objects and more.
Think Schools
African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world’s most forward-thinking school building projects. Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D print technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education. Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete in under a week.
Concrete Steps
Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16 metre long curved Striatus footbridge in a couple of days. The project used 500 layers of concrete and 53 hollow blocks, held in place by compression (压缩). This reduces materials by up to 70 per cent, and the entire bridge can be pulled down and recycled.
1. What could be the inspiration behind the design of Nested Housing?
A. A featured laboratory. B. A forward-thinking school.
C. A round wasp nest. D. A long stone bridge.
2. Which 3D construction project can be torn down and reused?
A. Instant Neighborhood. B. Concrete Steps.
C Think School. D. Nested Housing.
3. What do these four 3D building projects have in common?
A. They use local materials. B. They make construction faster.
C. They are affordable to the homeless. D. They are high in cost.

When a woman struck up a conversation with an Ontario homeless man, she didn’t imagine it would change his life forever.
After it became clear that Brian Bannister was a kind soul who had simply fallen on hard times, Danielle MacDuff offered him a job on her farm.
Bannister was living in a shelter after a terribly challenging life that involved child abuse, overcoming addiction, and the death of his first wife, followed by the death of his second. He said he had given up, but MacDuff’s offer cheered up the man and brought the farm a pair of hands that are diligent at work and gentle with MacDuff’s children and her animals. “It astonished me. It just came from the heart with her and I’ve got to thank her every day,” Bannister told CTV News Toronto with tears in his eyes, who added he used to do farm work about 40 years ago.
Every day he gets a ride to the farm where he helps MacDuf’s family care for 200 animals including goats, cows, and horses. The friendship that grew over time between the two led MacDuff to set up a GoFundMe to help Brian get back on his feet, which raised nearly CAD $10, 000 and was able to help him get his first shave and a haircut in two years as well as a new phone. MacDuff also helped organize some provincial financial support for Bannister.
MacDuff said, “If we could get everyone off the street ideally that would be my one wish, but it takes a lot of people to come together and that is what has happened for Brian. I think that’s why we’ve come so far in such a short time.”
4. What suffering did Bannister go through before he met MacDuff?
A. Broken marriage. B. Painful childhood.
C. life-threatening illness. D. Unpaid farmwork.
5. How did Macduff help Bannister at first?
A. She offered him accommodation. B. She donated money to him.
C. She gave him a job on her farm. D. She helped him start a family.
6. Why was the GoFundMe launched?
A. To provide Bannister financial support. B. To collect for his medical treatments.
C. To make the best of the provincial policy. D. To raise money for a cell phone.
7. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. A man can be defeated but can’t be destroyed. B. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Many hands make light work.

A Kenyan citizen has been selected as one of the winners of an international award for pioneering grass-roots efforts to protect iconic (标志性的) wildlife species at the Amboseli National Park, which borders Tanzania. Daniel Leturesh, a grass-roots wildlife conservationist (环保主义者), won the award from the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) thanks to his three decades of protecting the natural habitats of iconic species like elephants and rhinoceros.
Leturesh has actively engaged communities to preserve wildlife habitats over the past three decades. “Conservation is hard work, there are many challenges I have faced to win space for animals. Even now we are in a period of drought but I am happy we have managed to get 40 percent of public land for wildlife in the Amboseli region,” Leturesh said in a statement released by IFAW in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital.
According to IFAW, Leturesh has been engaging local communities to preserve their lands and allow the free movement of wildlife in the Amboseli ecosystem. In addition, Leturesh has secured 26, 000 acres for wildlife habitation by persuading 2,600 landowners to rent out their land through international and local conservation groups. Thanks to his continuing efforts, there has not been harmful development of wildlife spreading habitats within the Amboseli ecosystem, said IFAW. Other achievements include the establishment of Kitenden Conservancy which connects Amboseli and West Kilimanjaro wildlife shelters, added IFAW. He represented a local community that signed an agreement that will see landowners benefit from annual rent and ecotourism income, according to IFAW.
James Sawyer, the UK director for IFAW, said that Leturesh’s devotion to preserving his native lands for wildlife paved the way for iconic species to boom under threats like habitat loss and climate change. Sawyer added that Leturesh’s wildlife conservation model will help stop the decrease of iconic species that are key to sustaining(维持) rural livelihoods through tourism.

Scientists of the University of Antwerp and University of Liege have found how the human brain changes and adapts to weightlessness, after being in space for 6 months.
A child who learns not to drop a glass on the floor is an example of how the brain follows the physical laws of gravity to best function on Earth. Astronauts who go to space station live in a weightless environment, where the brain’s rules about gravity are no longer applicable. A new study on brain function in astronauts has found how the brain’s organization is changed after a six-month mission to the International Space Station(ISS).
The University of Antwerp has been leading this BRAIN-DTI scientific project through the European Space Agency. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)(磁共振成像)data were taken from 14 astronauts’ brains before and several times after their mission to space. Using a special MRI technique, the researchers collected the astronauts’ brain data in a resting condition.
In cooperation with the University of Liege, recent analyses of the brain’s activity at rest found how functional connectivity, a marker of how activity in some brain areas is connected with the activity in others, changes in specific regions. “We found that connectivity was altered after spaceflight in regions which support the combination of different types of information, rather than dealing with only one type each time,” say Steven Jillings and Floris Wuyts. “Moreover, we found that some of these changed communication patterns remained throughout 8 months of being back on Earth. At the same time, some brain changes returned to the level of how the areas were functioning before the space mission.”
The researchers are excited with the results, though they know it is only the first step in pursuing our understanding of brain communication changes after space travel. For example, we need to understand whether longer time spent in outer space might influence these observations, and whether brain characteristics may be helpful in selecting future astronauts or monitoring them during and after space travel.
12. How does the author explain the changes in the human brain?
A. By collecting the data. B. By doing a survey.
C. By introducing a new concept. D. By giving an example.
13. What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Strengthened. B. Shortened. C. Changed D. Established.
14. What is the researchers’ attitude towards their future study?
A. Doubtful. B. Uncertain. C. Worried. D. Hopeful.
15. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The adaptation of the brain is a must for space travel.
B. Space travel influences the way the brain works.
C. The changes of the brain may affect space travel.
D. Space travel improves the function of the brain permanently.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A child who learns not to drop a glass on the floor is an example of how the brain follows the physical laws of gravity to best function on Earth.(一个孩子学会了不把杯子掉在地板上，这就是大脑在地球上如何遵循重力物理定律来发挥最佳功能的一个例子)”可推知，作者通过举个例子解释人类大脑的变化。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“In cooperation with the University of Liege, recent analyses of the brain’s activity at rest found how functional connectivity, a marker of how activity in some brain areas is connected with the activity in others, changes in specific regions.(在与列日大学的合作下，最近对大脑休息时活动的分析发现，功能连通性是如何在特定区域发生变化的，功能连通性是大脑某些区域的活动如何与其他区域的活动联系起来的标志)”；最后一句“At the same time, some brain changes returned to the level of how the areas were functioning before the space mission.(与此同时，大脑的一些变化回到了太空任务前的水平)”以及划线词后文“after spaceflight in regions which support the combination of different types of information, rather than dealing with only one type each time”由此可知，后文提到“大脑的一些变化回到了太空任务前的水平”，可推测研究人员发现在太空飞行后，支持不同类型信息组合的区域的连通性发生了变化，而不是每次只处理一种信息，故划线词意思是“改变”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers are excited with the results, though they know it is only the first step in pursuing our understanding of brain communication changes after space travel. For example, we need to understand whether longer time spent in outer space might influence these observations, and whether brain characteristics may be helpful in selecting future astronauts or monitoring them during and after space travel.(研究人员对结果感到兴奋，尽管他们知道这只是我们了解太空旅行后大脑通信变化的第一步。例如，我们需要了解在外太空停留的时间是否会影响这些观察结果，以及大脑特征是否有助于选择未来的宇航员或在太空旅行期间和之后监测他们)”可推知，研究人员对未来研究的态度是充满希望。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Today was the finals of the Dance Competition. Our team of five had me as the lead dancer; then there was Grace, my best friend and Eric, a dance lover who is a master in perfecting our choreography (编舞); and two talented twins, with such flexibility and grace on the stage that one cannot take their eyes off them.
We had found a perfect coach for our team. Jackie, a cousin of Eric’s, worked in a dance school. She was a bit hesitant at first, but quickly agreed when she saw the progress we had made so far.
In the dressing rooms, there were so many other competitors preparing for their performance, rushing here and there.
Grace and I had changed into our costumes and were putting on our shoes when Eric murmured, “Who are they?”
We turned to follow his stare, among many people, four beautiful girls along with a lean boy had just walked in.
“They’re first-rate!” cried Grace, “more like fashion models.”
They sure were. A look at the list of competitors told me they were from “Tweekverse”, the most famous dance school in the whole country.
Jackie came up behind us, “Guys, it’s time, come on. Let’s go!”
“Oooh, do you get the vibe (氛围)?” Grace was excited. I could understand her, I didn’t feel any less thrilled.
When we entered the concert hall, my jaw literally just dropped. It was massive. There were so many people. The four judges, who were seated at a large panel, did look very serious.
The competition started. The first performances were brilliant. One team had the neon (霓虹) theme, in which they wore shine-in-the-dark costumes and the whole place was dark. I was attracted to their impressive display. Obviously, everybody was. The judges’ cards displayed the scores. They were marking out of ten.
The next performances were even better, but for us, they became more competitive. The group from Tweekverse was the best. Their costumes, charming faces and fascinating performance impressed everyone.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was our turn next. I felt goose bumps and my hands were shaking. My teammates also seemed very nervous. Jackie immediately worked out our expressions. “Hey, it’s going to be alright guys. You have got to enjoy yourself, move with the beat and dance your heart out.” she encouraged us. As we went up the stage, I felt a new energy. We were going to show the judges how excellently we could not only dance, but also make the audience connect and feel with us. That determination and courage made me and our team ace the competition.
I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the final score — 9.5 on the sereen. It was the highest mark yet, and ours was the last performance. The crowd was bowled over by us. As we were bowing in response to the standing ovation we received. I glimpsed sideways and saw a beaming Jackie cheering with the audience. Our rivals came to meet us too. I could detect a note of disappointment in their “Congrats”. However, that was not what caused me to grin, it was just my elation at how we outshone them with our performance.
