A Spanish prject is attempting t 3D print cral reefs (珊瑚礁) t prvide habitat fr fish and prtectin fr beaches and castal cmmunities at risk frm rising seas and ther damage.
Cral reefs are massively decreasing glbally, and sme scientists say we culd lse 70-90% f ur reefs due t warming cean waters. That has all kinds f serius cnsequences because a quarter f the wrld’s fish live in and arund reefs, reefs are critically imprtant prtectrs f beach cmmunities threatened by high waves and tides, and they supprt a massive amunt f bidiversity. That led marine bilgist Lizzie Fane and her c-funder Alfred Martel, a cmputer scientist, t start Castructin, a nn-prfit rganizatin.
“Even if yu start n a small scale (规模) ... a square kilmeter already, it culd have a great impact,” Martel says. “It culd really prtect a cast, a beach, r an area where there is a cmmunity living and they need prtectin because the sea is rising.”
Being able t 3D print is imprtant because yu match individual sites. Every lcatin is different with different cral species. “It’s like everybdy has a different huse,” Fane says. “Yu can take int accunt habitat requirements f nt just the cral but als the fish that live nearby.”
Their current technlgy can print varius shapes. The result can be an amazingly natural-lking man-made rck with plenty f crners fr bth cral and ther fish t attach themselves and make hmes.
The Castructin funders dn’t think they can pssibly meet the glbal demand, s their gal is t prvide the tls — like the 3D printer — fr lcal peple and design the technlgy t use cheap and lcally-available materials t create the artificial cral reefs. N high temperatures r chemical additives are required, and any lse pwder r sand material nt used in ne print will be used in the next. The 3D printer wrks n-site, s there’s n transprt f finished blcks required.
28. What des the underlined wrd “That” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The bidiversity f cral reefs.
B. The reductin in cral species.
C. The prtectin cral reefs prvide.
D. The lss f glbal cral reefs.
29. What d Martel’s wrds imply?
A. 3D-printed reefs can hardly save ceans.
B. Small actins can make a lt f difference.
C. Small-scale prductin f reefs is a drp in the cean.
D. 3D-printed reefs fail t prvide perfect fish habitat.
30. What d we knw abut the current 3D reef printing?
A. It can just print regular-shaped reefs.
B. It can use any material t prduce reefs.
C. It can create life-like reefs.
D. It can meet the glbal demand fr reefs.
31. What is ne gal f the Castructin funders?
A. Adapting their technlgy t lcal cnditins.
B. Putting their reefs int mass prductin.
C. Transprting finished reefs t where they are needed.
D. Adding chemicals t reefs t make them clrful.

A Spanish prject is attempting t 3D print cral reefs (珊瑚礁) t prvide habitat fr fish and prtectin fr beaches and castal cmmunities at risk frm rising seas and ther damage.
Cral reefs are massively decreasing glbally, and sme scientists say we culd lse 70-90% f ur reefs due t warming cean waters. That has all kinds f serius cnsequences because a quarter f the wrld’s fish live in and arund reefs, reefs are critically imprtant prtectrs f beach cmmunities threatened by high waves and tides, and they supprt a massive amunt f bidiversity. That led marine bilgist Lizzie Fane and her c-funder Alfred Martel, a cmputer scientist, t start Castructin, a nn-prfit rganizatin.
“Even if yu start n a small scale (规模) ... a square kilmeter already, it culd have a great impact,” Martel says. “It culd really prtect a cast, a beach, r an area where there is a cmmunity living and they need prtectin because the sea is rising.”
Being able t 3D print is imprtant because yu match individual sites. Every lcatin is different with different cral species. “It’s like everybdy has a different huse,” Fane says. “Yu can take int accunt habitat requirements f nt just the cral but als the fish that live nearby.”
Their current technlgy can print varius shapes. The result can be an amazingly natural-lking man-made rck with plenty f crners fr bth cral and ther fish t attach themselves and make hmes.
The Castructin funders dn’t think they can pssibly meet the glbal demand, s their gal is t prvide the tls — like the 3D printer — fr lcal peple and design the technlgy t use cheap and lcally-available materials t create the artificial cral reefs. N high temperatures r chemical additives are required, and any lse pwder r sand material nt used in ne print will be used in the next. The 3D printer wrks n-site, s there’s n transprt f finished blcks required.
28. What des the underlined wrd “That” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The bidiversity f cral reefs.
B. The reductin in cral species.
C. The prtectin cral reefs prvide.
D. The lss f glbal cral reefs.
29. What d Martel’s wrds imply?
A. 3D-printed reefs can hardly save ceans.
B. Small actins can make a lt f difference.
C. Small-scale prductin f reefs is a drp in the cean.
D. 3D-printed reefs fail t prvide perfect fish habitat.
30. What d we knw abut the current 3D reef printing?
A. It can just print regular-shaped reefs.
B. It can use any material t prduce reefs.
C. It can create life-like reefs.
D. It can meet the glbal demand fr reefs.
31. What is ne gal f the Castructin funders?
A. Adapting their technlgy t lcal cnditins.
B. Putting their reefs int mass prductin.
C. Transprting finished reefs t where they are needed.
D. Adding chemicals t reefs t make them clrful.
