    Scientists claim to have developed a revolutionary new giant 3D concrete printer that can build a 2,500-square-foot house in just 24 hours.

    The 3D printer, developed by Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis from the University of Southern California, could be used to build a whole house, layer by layer, in a single day.

    "It is basically scaling up 3D printing to the scale of building," said Khoshnevis.

    The giant robot replaces construction workers with a nozzle (喷嘴), which can quickly build a home based on a computer pattern, MSN News reported.

    Contour Crafting, as it is named, is a layered fabrication (构造) technology. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be constructed in a single run, embedded (嵌入) in each house all the wires and pipes for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.

    The potential applications of this technology are far-reaching including in emergency, low-income, and commercial housing.

    "Our research also addresses the application of Contour Crafting in building habitats on other planets. Contour Crafting will most probably be one of the very few feasible approaches for building structures on other planets, such as the Moon and Mars, which are being targeted for human habitation before the end of the new century," researchers said on the project website.

    The technology may potentially reduce energy use and emissions. And the main advantages of the Contour Crafting process over existing technologies are the superior surface finish that is realized and the greatly increased speed of construction.

    1.Professor Khoshnevis has recently developed a 3D printer that can ________.

    A. build a 2500-square-foot house in a single day

    B. construct a skyscraper, layer by layer

    C. design a group of houses automatically

    D. assist construction workers in their work

    2.The new 3D printer uses the following to build a house EXCEPT ________.

    A. a nozzle B. a computer pattern C. a robot D. an air-conditioner

    3.According to the text, the potential applications of Contour Crafting include building _______.

    A. emergency vehicles B. low-income housing

    C. commercial centers D. space stations on other planets

    4.What advantages of this new technology is mentioned in the text?

    A. It creates more jobs. B. It is less time-consuming.

    C. It saves the building cost. D. It emits no carbon dioxide.

    4．Cleaning your plate may not help feed hungry children today，but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food waste from the farm to the fork，help the environment and make it easier to feed the world's growing population．
    Hard data is still being collected，but experts in Chicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten．The average American throws away 33 pounds of food each month-about $40 worth，which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food．The US Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentage of produce ends up in the trash．
    "We forget we have all these fresh fruits and vegetables，and at the end of the week we have to throw them away"，said Esther Gove，a mother of three young children in South Berwick，Maine．"Now，I don't buy as much fresh produce as I used to．"
    But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond the kitchen．Agriculture is the world's largest user of water，a big consumer of energy and major emitter of greenhouse gases during production．Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on the environment and can ease pressure on farmers，who will be called on to feed an expected 9 billion people around the world in 2050，compared with nearly 7 billion today．
    No matter how sustainable （可持续的） farming is，if the food's not getting eaten，it's not sustainable and it's not a good use of our resources．In richer nations，fruit and vegetables end up in the trash because they aren't pretty enough to meet companies'standards，have gone bad in a home refrigerator or aren't eaten at a restaurant．In developing countries，much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lack of refrigeration．High food prices are another reason，since some people can't afford the food that's produced．

    29．From the first paragraph，we know that cleaning your plateB．
    A．is you mother's best advice for you
    B．can solve certain problems for the world 
    C．can help feed hungry children all over the world 
    D．helps meet the growing population's needs
    30．The underlined word"emitter"in Paragraph 4 meansD．
    A．user 
    B．finder 
    C．protector 
    D．producer 
    31．What is a sustainable and convenient way for a customer in a restaurant？A
    A．Ordering enough and packing the leftovers．
    B．Ordering more than he or she can eat．
    C．Ordering less and feeling hungry after leaving．
    D．Ordering more and leaving the untouched alone．
    32．Which of the following topics will follow the text？B
    A．More examples of food waste 
    B．Ways to reduce food waste
    C．Experts'idea on the environment
    D．Advice for food with high prices．

    One year ago, I had a special English lesson hold at the railway station. It was quite different from the regular English classes we were familiar to, for we had no textbooks, no blackboard or no fixed seats.

    Gathering at the entrance of the station, we told to collect as many English words and sentences as possible here. Curious and excited, we walked around the station and looked everywhere, search for any information in English. Whenever an English word comes into sight, the class would burst into the cheers as if we had discovered a new world. With the Chinese translation and vividly pictures, we could figure out its meaning with ease.

    Now, this unforgettable lesson still encourages me to be an active learner where I go.
