A company says it has completed the first 3D-printed home recently. The home was shown to reporters and visitors at a music festival.

The building company has developed large 3D- printers that build homes with mortar, a hard and strong

material. It uses robotics, computer programs and advanced materials to make houses.

Jason Ballard is the company's chief engineer. "So I'm standing in front of the first 3D-printed home in America. This house was actually printed in high winds, blowing dust and rain." It is important for the printing programmes to operate in bad weather conditions, such as weather disasters. The goal is to print homes in developing countries. So the printer has to be light enough to move from one property to the next.

Ballard imagines that someday, many 3D-printers will operate around the world to make homes. "It's actually a lot more simple to build a printer than it is to build a house," he said. "We ran this printer at about a quarter speed to print this house, and completed it in about 48 hours of print time."

The company developed this technology not to make money but to help provide a quick, cheap housing solution for the millions of people who need it most. There are about a billion people that don't have one of life's most basic human needs, and that's safe shelter.

Ballard says his company already works on housing needs with poor families in different areas. But he says that to really make a difference, the program will need to be greatly improved. He added that since the 3D-printing process is so much faster than traditional homebuilding, a whole community could be built in just a few months. He believes over time, people can get the new home below $4,000 with the help of 3D-printers.

1.What kind of building material can be used in 3-D printing according to the passage?

A. light but strong B. light and soft.

C. strong but expensive D. hard and strong.

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word property in Paragraph 3?

A. land for farming B. land for building houses

C. land for raising animals D. land for running companies

3.It will take about hours to print a house if the printer is at its full speed.

A. 12 B. 24 C. 36 D. 48

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. The Future of 3D-printing B. The History of 3D-printing

C. The New Use of 3D-printing D. The Instructions of 3D-printing

Science is proving what pet owners have long believed: Dogs understand what we're feeling. Especially, dogs can recognize(識(shí)別) the difference between a happy

and an angry human face, a study published Thursday in Current Biology suggests.

It's the first research to show that dogs are sensitive (敏感) to our facial expressions, says the author Ludwig Huber at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna.

In the Austrian study, 20 different kinds of pet dogs were taught to play a computer game through a series of exercises. In the first step, the dogs were shown two touch screens, one with a circle and one with a square. Through the exercises, they learned that a treat would appear if they chose the right one.

Eleven of the 20 dogs were able to catch on to rules of the game and make it to the next test, where they were shown photos of happy and angry faces. The dogs were rewarded if they picked certain expression correctly. During the test, the dogs were shown only the upper half or the lower half of a face.

It was easier to teach the dogs to choose a happy expression than an angry one, suggesting the dogs do indeed understand the meaning behind the expression, Huber

says.

As a test, the dogs were then presented with:the same half of the faces they saw during the training, but from different people，

the other half of the faces used in training，

the other half of new faces，

the left half of the faces used in training.

In the cases, the dogs chose the right answer 70 to 100 percent of the time.

Dogs who had been trained to recognize an expression of anger or happiness on the upper part of a face could find the same expression when shown only the lower part. Huber says, "The only possible explanation is that they recall from memory of everyday life how a whole human face looks when happy or angry."

Dog owners know their pets not only recognize emotions but also understand the feelings.

1.The passage may come from .

A. a news report B. a science magazine

C. a pets guide D. a history book

2.How many dogs in the research could understand the rules of the game?

A. 11 B. 20 C. 70 D. 100

3.During the test, the dogs were presented with the following faces .

①the other half of some new faces

②the right half of the faces used in training

③the other half of the faces used in training

④the same half of the faces they saw but from different people

A. ①③④ B. ①②③ C. ①②④ D. ②③④

4.Why was it easier to teach the dogs to choose a happy expression than an angry one?

A. Because dogs wanted to make a happy expression.

B. Because dogs were rewarded for picking a happy expression.

C. Because dogs saw a happy expression more often from their owners.

D. Because dogs indeed didn’t understand the meaning behind the expressions.

5.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Dog owners know if their pets are happy.

B. Dog owners know how to train their dogs.

C. Dogs can make different facial expressions.

D. Dogs can understand their owners' feelings.
