Besides reducing waste and our impact on the environment,it can speed up construction from weeks,or months,to days.Projects that use simple raw materials like soil,straw,and even salt,can be built in a small part of the time and cost of traditional construction. Walls are built up layer by layer using an industrial 3D building printer.Construction waste is minimized and,because the printers are mobile like small cranes,they can be set up quickly where they are needed. Home design can be customized (easily,giving architects more creative freedom. Companies use recyeled products and eco-friendly cements to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and make building more sustainable.By using a range of simple,readily available or even waste materials like plastic in the mix,the technology makes the companies then reduce the chance of materials being unavailable or too costly. Most construction uses conventional methods,but 3D printing is growing steadily.The technology is changing the world around us. Researchers at the Swiss University ETH Zurich used concrete 3D printing to build the 16-metre-long curved Striatus footbridge.The project only used 500 layers of concrete and 53 blocks with holes to fix the bridge.This reduces materials by up to 70 percent,and the entire bridge can be ground down and recycled. African island state Madagascar is hosting one of the world's most forward-thinking school building projects.Non-profit Thinking Huts is using 3D printing technology to provide schools where children have little or no access to education.Schools are built using local materials and low carbon concrete under a week. Beehive-inspired designs allow buildings to be easily expanded,and each school will include gardens built into the walls and solar panels on the roof for power. 28.What do we know about building with 3D printing technology? A.It reduces construction waste. B.It always uses expensive materials. C.It slows down construction process. D.It limits architects'creative freedom. 29.What is the author's attitude towards 3D Printing Technology? A.Positive. B.Pessimistic. C.Uncertain. D.Critical. 30.How did the author develop the last two paragraphs? A.By collecting data. B.By analyzing causes. C.By giving examples. D.By making comparisons. 31.What can be the best tittle for the passage? A.3D Printing in Design. B.3D Printing in Building. C.Benefits of 3D Printing. D.The Future of 3D Printing. D When it comes to extreme weather,hailstorms()"tend to get an unbalanced share of the attention," says Victor Gensini,a meteorologist at Northern Illinois University. Yet hailstorms total cars,destroy roofs,and devastate crops,costing the United States $46 billion in 2023 -representing 60%to 80%of the losses from hail,tornadoes,wind,and lightning-caused fires combined, according to an insurance institute.So it's no surprise U.S.hail scientists are frustrated that their last major research campaign took place in the late 1970s."It's just this big gaping hole,"says Becky Adams-Selin,a hail scientist at Atmospheric and Environmental Research. 赣州市期末考试高二英语试卷第4页（共8页） 可▣ 扫描全能王创建 A project called the In-situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail in the Plains-ICECHIP for short-is set up to change that.Led by Adams-Selin,ICECHIP researchers hope to gather data that could improve hailstorm prediction and help answer fundamental questions,such as how climate change will affect the frequency of hailstorms and the size of the stones. The campaign will rely on technologies new to hail research,such as high-speed videography,drone imagery,and mobile radar,for example.Researchers will also use balloons to deliver 3D-printed spherical sensors into storms to imitate the movement of hailstones.A fleet of 24 ground-based sensors will measure the energy of falling hailstones every 500th of a second,and 3D laser scanners will record collected hailstones' intricate shapes.Back in the lab,ICECHIP researchers will analyze hailstones'ice layers to determine the temperature and altitude at which they formed-and,in turn,the paths they took through storms. Such tools will bring hail research"into the 21st century,"says Julian Brimelow,a meteorologist and executive director of Canada's Northern Hail Project,a research group involved in ICECHIP.But some technologies from the 1970s will remain,such as hail pads:Pieces of foam topped with aluminum foil to catch hailstones and provide outlines of their sizes and shapes. 32.What can we infer from Victor Gensini's statement? A.Hailstorms deserve more attention. B.Hailstorms are unexpected. C.Hailstorms get too much attention. D.Hailstorms are common. 33.What does the underlined word"total"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Need. B.Abandon. C.Blow. D.Damage. 34.Why is ICECHIP founded? A.To record the climate change effect. B.To predict the frequency of hailstorms C.To provide the way of gathering data. D.To address the gap in research on hailstorms. 35.What's the purpose of the passage? A.To report weather changes. B.To introduce ICECHIP. C.To explain the formation of hail. D.To show the damage caused by hailstorm. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 World Food Day Food brings people together in numerous ways,from family gatherings to first dates.36There are a number of activities to get you involved in the celebration!
