Drnes（无人机）already fly and spy. Nw, they can build t. A pair f drnes wrking tgether made a twer taller than a persn. Engineers demnstrated this new methd f 3D printing in the lab. Mirk Kvac, wh c-led the research, says that animal builders, bees, inspired him. They shared their success in Nature n September 22.
T print that persn-sized twer, a Build-Drne carried expanding fam（泡沫）. This material rapidly expands and hardens when sprayed（喷洒）.The drne flew in a slw circle, spraying the fam dwnwards t frm layers. When it ran ut f material, it flew away s a persn culd relad it with mre fam r replace the drne’s batteries. This type f fam tends t thicken unevenly. S, while a Build-Drne was being reladed, a secnd, smaller drne surveyed the wrk. It was called Scan-Drne. It lked fr places where the last layer was t thin r thick. Then it created a plan fr the next layer t help even things ut. This kept the twer straight and strng.
“This was an impressive demnstratin,” says Andrea Tagliabue, wh wasn’t invlved in the research. As a graduate student in rbtics at MIT, Tagliabue wrks n cntrl systems fr drnes, Hwever, he ntes that the researchers still have challenges left t slve befre 3D printing drnes are useful in the real wrld. “Since these drnes built structures inside a lab, they didn’t have t cntend with wind r ther utdr disturbances, Als, cameras placed arund the rm culd help track the drnes’ psitins and send them alng the crrect paths. Outdrs, the drnes wuld have t navigate withut this extra help,” says Tagliabue.
Kvac is already planning t d tests utdrs. He als plans t build mre cmplex structures. He believes that drnes can wrk tgether like bees in the future, and they will cnstruct buildings r make repairs in places that are tugh fr human crews and heavy machinery t reach. “That may include disaster areas, the tps f tall buildings r even ther planets,” Kvac says “There’s a lt f interest in building n Mars with rbts.”
28. Hw did drnes make the twer stay straight?
A. They used hard and strng material.B. They sprayed the fam dwnwards.
C. They kept a balance in layer thickness.D. They thickened layers by adding mre fam.
29. What des the underlined phrase “cntend with” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Rule ut.B. Cmpete with.C. Give ut.D. Deal with.
30. What des Kvac say abut the Build-Drnes?
A. They are full f prmise.B. They are widely in use nw.
C. They can’t replace humans.D. They can’t d cmplex tasks.
31. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Drnes Can Think and Learn like PepleB. Drnes Wrk Tgether t Print Structures
C. Drnes Will Change the Future f BuildingD. 3D Printing Gets Bigger, Faster and Smarter

In his new bk The Jurneys f Trees, science writer Zach St. Gerge explres an extremely slw migratin（迁徙）, as frests mve inch by inch t mre hspitable places. As ld trees die and new nes grw up, the frest is—ever s slightly—mving, he writes. “Thrugh the fssils（化石）that ancient frests left behind, scientists can track their mvement. They mve back and frth acrss cntinents, like migrating birds r whales.”
This has happened ver thusands f years, and climate change tends t be the driving frce-pushing and pulling frests arund the glbe. Of curse, tday, climate change is speeding up, and trees can’t keep pace. Take Califrnia: It’s getting htter and drier and scientists estimate that befre t lng, Jshua Tree Natinal Park may nt be able t sustain Jshua trees. Zach St. Gerge describes a similar threat t Sequia Natinal Park, during Califrnia’s lng and severe drught a few years back.
Scientists wrried that maybe Sequia Natinal Park wuld n lnger be the place fr giant sequias. St. Gerge thinks at sme pint we will lse these ancient trees and we will have t think abut what we d with the places, and d we plant new nes smewhere else? This is knwn as “assisted migratin” -humans planting trees in ther places where they’re mre likely t grw well. But this prcess carries risks—peple can accidentally intrduce insects and diseases t new places, where they may wipe ut entire native ppulatins. S, St. Gerge writes, there’s a debate amng cnservatinists and fresters tday: Shuld humans help the trees escape?
“I think there are ging t be instances where peple are prbably ging t step in and help species mve t places where they’ll be mre suitable in the future,” St. Gerge says. “And I met a lt f peple in the prcess wh have felt srry abut what has been lst and what will be lst-and are still cntinuing t try and d gd and wrk in the mment fr small things.”
32. What des the underlined wrd “They” in Paragraph I refer t?
A. Animals.B. Fssils.C. Scientists.D. Frests.
33. Why is Sequia Natinal Park mentined?
A. T cnfirm the prblem f the lss f tree species is serius.
B. T argue humans shuld be respnsible fr the lss f trees.
C. T explain climate change results in the migratin f frests.
D. T prve frests can slw dwn the prcess f climate change.
34. What can be inferred abut assisted migratin?
A. It can prevent the trees escaping.B. It can prmte bilgical diversity.
C. It may help t prtect the frests.D. It may affect species in new places.
35. What is St. Gerge’s attitude t assisted migratin?
A. Supprtive.B. Dubtful.C. Ambiguus.D. Intlerant.

When my daughter cmpletes a task, I can’t help but praise her. It’s nly natural t give praise where praise is 41 , right? But is there such a thing as t much praise?
Accrding t psychlgist Katherine Phillip, children dn’t 42 frm cnstant praise as much as we’d like t think. “Parents ften praise, 43 they are building their child’s self-cnfidence. 44 , ver-praising can have a negative effect,” says Phillip. “When we use the same praise 45 , it may becme empty and n lnger 46 by the child, It can als becme a（an） 47 that anything they d must be rewarded with praise. This may lead t the child aviding taking risks due t 48 f disappinting their parents.”
Des this mean we shuld 49 all the praise? Phillip says n. “The key t healthy praise is t fcus n the prcess 50 the utcme. It is the recgnitin f a child’s attempt, r the prcess in which they achieved smething, that is 51 ,” she says. “Parents shuld encurage their child t take the risks needed t learn and grw.”
S hw d we break the 52 f praise we’re all s accustmed（习惯）t? Phillip says it’s imprtant t 53 the distinctin between “persn praise” and “prcess praise”. “Persn praise is simply saying hw 54 smene is. It’s a frm f persnal judgement. Prcess praise is 55 f the effrts the persn has just undertaken. Children wh receive persn praise, are mre likely t feel shame after lsing,” says Phillip.

It was a rainy, damp December day. I was headed t the stre t pick up anther week’s wrth f fd.

I quickly grabbed a newer twenty ut f my purse and gave it t him. He thanked me with a warm smile and paid fr his gds. I tld him t keep his mney but he insisted that I take his ld, trn twenty. I ndded, put it in my cat pcket, and wished him a Merry Christmas.
After checking ut, I remembered smething Mther Teresa had nce said abut hw we all can change the wrld. “Help ne persn at a time,” she said, “and always start with the persn nearest yu.” I reached int my pcket, smiled, and went utside. Then I drpped that trn twenty int the bell-ringer’s pt and walked t my car with my sn happily.

Drnes（无人机）already fly and spy. Nw, they can build t. A pair f drnes wrking tgether made a twer taller than a persn. Engineers demnstrated this new methd f 3D printing in the lab. Mirk Kvac, wh c-led the research, says that animal builders, bees, inspired him. They shared their success in Nature n September 22.
T print that persn-sized twer, a Build-Drne carried expanding fam（泡沫）. This material rapidly expands and hardens when sprayed（喷洒）.The drne flew in a slw circle, spraying the fam dwnwards t frm layers. When it ran ut f material, it flew away s a persn culd relad it with mre fam r replace the drne’s batteries. This type f fam tends t thicken unevenly. S, while a Build-Drne was being reladed, a secnd, smaller drne surveyed the wrk. It was called Scan-Drne. It lked fr places where the last layer was t thin r thick. Then it created a plan fr the next layer t help even things ut. This kept the twer straight and strng.
“This was an impressive demnstratin,” says Andrea Tagliabue, wh wasn’t invlved in the research. As a graduate student in rbtics at MIT, Tagliabue wrks n cntrl systems fr drnes, Hwever, he ntes that the researchers still have challenges left t slve befre 3D printing drnes are useful in the real wrld. “Since these drnes built structures inside a lab, they didn’t have t cntend with wind r ther utdr disturbances, Als, cameras placed arund the rm culd help track the drnes’ psitins and send them alng the crrect paths. Outdrs, the drnes wuld have t navigate withut this extra help,” says Tagliabue.
Kvac is already planning t d tests utdrs. He als plans t build mre cmplex structures. He believes that drnes can wrk tgether like bees in the future, and they will cnstruct buildings r make repairs in places that are tugh fr human crews and heavy machinery t reach. “That may include disaster areas, the tps f tall buildings r even ther planets,” Kvac says “There’s a lt f interest in building n Mars with rbts.”
28. Hw did drnes make the twer stay straight?
A. They used hard and strng material.B. They sprayed the fam dwnwards.
C. They kept a balance in layer thickness.D. They thickened layers by adding mre fam.
29. What des the underlined phrase “cntend with” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Rule ut.B. Cmpete with.C. Give ut.D. Deal with.
30. What des Kvac say abut the Build-Drnes?
A. They are full f prmise.B. They are widely in use nw.
C. They can’t replace humans.D. They can’t d cmplex tasks.
31. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Drnes Can Think and Learn like PepleB. Drnes Wrk Tgether t Print Structures
C. Drnes Will Change the Future f BuildingD. 3D Printing Gets Bigger, Faster and Smarter

In his new bk The Jurneys f Trees, science writer Zach St. Gerge explres an extremely slw migratin（迁徙）, as frests mve inch by inch t mre hspitable places. As ld trees die and new nes grw up, the frest is—ever s slightly—mving, he writes. “Thrugh the fssils（化石）that ancient frests left behind, scientists can track their mvement. They mve back and frth acrss cntinents, like migrating birds r whales.”
This has happened ver thusands f years, and climate change tends t be the driving frce-pushing and pulling frests arund the glbe. Of curse, tday, climate change is speeding up, and trees can’t keep pace. Take Califrnia: It’s getting htter and drier and scientists estimate that befre t lng, Jshua Tree Natinal Park may nt be able t sustain Jshua trees. Zach St. Gerge describes a similar threat t Sequia Natinal Park, during Califrnia’s lng and severe drught a few years back.
Scientists wrried that maybe Sequia Natinal Park wuld n lnger be the place fr giant sequias. St. Gerge thinks at sme pint we will lse these ancient trees and we will have t think abut what we d with the places, and d we plant new nes smewhere else? This is knwn as “assisted migratin” -humans planting trees in ther places where they’re mre likely t grw well. But this prcess carries risks—peple can accidentally intrduce insects and diseases t new places, where they may wipe ut entire native ppulatins. S, St. Gerge writes, there’s a debate amng cnservatinists and fresters tday: Shuld humans help the trees escape?
“I think there are ging t be instances where peple are prbably ging t step in and help species mve t places where they’ll be mre suitable in the future,” St. Gerge says. “And I met a lt f peple in the prcess wh have felt srry abut what has been lst and what will be lst-and are still cntinuing t try and d gd and wrk in the mment fr small things.”
32. What des the underlined wrd “They” in Paragraph I refer t?
A. Animals.B. Fssils.C. Scientists.D. Frests.
33. Why is Sequia Natinal Park mentined?
A. T cnfirm the prblem f the lss f tree species is serius.
B. T argue humans shuld be respnsible fr the lss f trees.
C. T explain climate change results in the migratin f frests.
D. T prve frests can slw dwn the prcess f climate change.
34. What can be inferred abut assisted migratin?
A. It can prevent the trees escaping.B. It can prmte bilgical diversity.
C. It may help t prtect the frests.D. It may affect species in new places.
35. What is St. Gerge’s attitude t assisted migratin?
A. Supprtive.B. Dubtful.C. Ambiguus.D. Intlerant.

When my daughter cmpletes a task, I can’t help but praise her. It’s nly natural t give praise where praise is 41 , right? But is there such a thing as t much praise?
Accrding t psychlgist Katherine Phillip, children dn’t 42 frm cnstant praise as much as we’d like t think. “Parents ften praise, 43 they are building their child’s self-cnfidence. 44 , ver-praising can have a negative effect,” says Phillip. “When we use the same praise 45 , it may becme empty and n lnger 46 by the child, It can als becme a（an） 47 that anything they d must be rewarded with praise. This may lead t the child aviding taking risks due t 48 f disappinting their parents.”
Des this mean we shuld 49 all the praise? Phillip says n. “The key t healthy praise is t fcus n the prcess 50 the utcme. It is the recgnitin f a child’s attempt, r the prcess in which they achieved smething, that is 51 ,” she says. “Parents shuld encurage their child t take the risks needed t learn and grw.”
S hw d we break the 52 f praise we’re all s accustmed（习惯）t? Phillip says it’s imprtant t 53 the distinctin between “persn praise” and “prcess praise”. “Persn praise is simply saying hw 54 smene is. It’s a frm f persnal judgement. Prcess praise is 55 f the effrts the persn has just undertaken. Children wh receive persn praise, are mre likely t feel shame after lsing,” says Phillip.
