17、d.CAshtyn Perry, with other 35 students from Springville, was planting baby sequoias in an area where a wildfire happened last year. The 13-year-old girl has a higher purpose: to plant baby sequoias that could grow into giants and live for thousands of years!Last year, a wildfire broke out in the Ca

18、lifornia mountain community of Sequoia Crest and destroyed dozens of its signature giant trees. To save the trees, a lot of measures have been taken, including replanting baby sequoias. The efforts are part of a project led by the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, a nonprofit, to plant offspring from

19、some of the largest and oldest trees. Their purpose is to archive the genetics of ancient trees, breed them and replant them. Sequoias have massive trunks and can grow 90 meters tall. They grow naturally only in a 260-mile (420 kilometers) belt of forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California.

20、 The giant sequoia is the worlds largest, and one of the best fire-resistant trees. Thick bark protects its trunk, and its canopy (树冠) is so high that it is out of reach of flames. In recorded history, large sequoias had never damaged by fires before 2015. Destruction of the majestic trees hit unpre

21、cedented levels last year, when approximately 10% to 14% of the estimated 75, 000 trees larger than 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter burned, and thousands more were potentially lost this year. An initial assessment was recently released last week, saying that climate change and a century of policies

22、that emphasize extinguishing wildland fires are to blame for the fire. In fact, letting some burn can reduce the buildup of undergrowth around the trees and prevent bigger future fires. Hotter droughts have led to more intense fires that have burned through fuels accumulated through fire suppression

23、. To protect the trees, many measures are being taken, including replanting 150 of the 7-year-old seedlings.

26、in the Netherlands. But four bridges are particularly unusual: each 26-foot structure was fashioned from concrete by a giant robotic printer. They are part of a revolution (变革) that is seeing 3D printers move from the tabletop to the construction lot.3D construction printers work a lot like home-off

27、ice ones, except instead of ink they spit out concrete. Nozzles (喷嘴) run back and forth on rails, with computers controlling the time and speed, so that a layer of concrete is laid down where needed. By the time the slow-moving nozzle reaches the end of its path, the layer has usually hardened just

28、enough to lay down another on top of the first, building up, layer-by-layer, a home-sized wall. With precise pattern of deposit, the nozzle can leave spaces for windows, doors, and other design and structural elements.It takes about 24 hours of printing to build a 500-square-foot single-floor home.

29、“The printing process delivers structure, wall-sheeting, inner and outer surface finishing, all at the same time,” says Jason Ballard, co-founder and CEO of ICON, an Austin, Texas company. “That normally takes 20 people representing five or six different trades working several days.”3D construction

30、printers are also less wasteful. A typical home construction site generates about four tons of waste. Because the concrete used in conventional construction is applied uniformly, regardless of whether its needed for structural support in a particular area or not, about half of the concrete is wasted

31、. 3D printers, however, can vary the thickness of a structure with great precision, using concrete only where it is really needed.So far, printed buildings have been modest, low-cost affairs. For instance, ICON printed a house in Austin, Texas, intended for families, at a cost of $10,000, and has a

32、contract to print a total of six. Then it plans to take a printer down to Latin America to build 50 low-cost homes there.32Why does the author discuss the nozzle in Paragraph 2?ATo analyze why the nozzle is so important.BTo confirm 3D construction printers are slow.CTo explain how 3D construction pr

33、inters work.DTo argue the precision of the nozzle needs improving.33What does Jason Ballard say about 3D construction printers?AThey are highly efficient.BThey are a little complex.CThey increase the building cost.DThey will replace builders one day.34How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?ABy making a

34、 contrast.BBy giving examples.CBy describing a process.DBy analyzing causes.35W hat can be a suitable title for the text?APrinted Bridges Become a Fashion in the NetherlandsB3D Printing Technology is Key to Housing ProblemsCYour House is Going to Be Greener in the FutureDYour Next House May Come Out
