15、est markets, 3D-printed houses are competing against traditional wood-frame houses with features of “cheap”, “safe” and “eco-friendly”. In Riverhead, New York, a 3D-printed house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a 2-car detached garage is listed for sale online with a price of $299, 999, much

16、cheaper than a traditional wood-frame house like this. In Austin, Texas, another construction technology company, ICON, is building two-to-four-bedroom homes, wishing to be the first to get involved in this area. Their aim is to take over the market as soon as possible. In the US, the first 3D-print

17、ed housing community will be built in Rancho Mirage, a desert resort city in California, according to developer Palari. The houses in the Rancho Mirage project will take a month to install as opposed to three to six months using traditional methods, Palari CEO Basil Starr told the Los Angeles Times.

18、 A typical project of this scale would take around three years, but they are planning for no more than a year and a half, he said. The pre-sale campaign started in late February and sold out within days, said Starr, adding that most of the buyers were young people with a passion for sustainability.

19、Apart from the construction speed, the companies also emphasize that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than conventional building methods because 3D printers generate the precise amount of material, while building wood-frame houses will result in construction garbage. The 3D-printing technology also

20、provides “much safer, more adaptable to changes” houses that are designed to withstand (承受)fire, flood, wind and other natural disasters better than conventionally built houses, according to ICON.

24、aldorf. But what exactly is a Waldorf school? Waldorf education is based on the ideas and teachings of Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian educator and philosopher who opened his first school in Germany in 1919. Steiners schools focused on “whole child” development, rather than the narrow academic focus pop

25、ular in German schools at the time.Experts in Waldorf education say that these school stress teaching the whole child. A main lesson is taught in a block of time lasting for several weeks. Creative arts like drawing, painting, language studies, music and drama support the main lesson and give studen

26、ts a variety of avenues to learn the material. Students then continue an exploration of the lesson through movement and motor skills, with activities like physical education, building, dancing and gardening. The goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, but morally responsible individuals equipp

27、ed with a high degree of social competence and creative capabilities. Factual knowledge, homework and tests scores receive less attention.Like all educational philosophies, Waldorf schools have both positives and negatives. Advocates like Moskowitz say its approach balancing academic subjects with a

28、rtistic and practical activities, teaching kid how to think, not what to think helps develop a love of learning. Some common drawbacks mentioned in connection with Waldorf schools are the same things that many parents like, such as the lack of emphasis on technology and standardized testing. Because

29、 many Waldorf schools are private, tuition may also be an obstacle for some parents. At the Waldorf School of Baltimore, for instance, tuition for the 2021-2022 school year was more than $20,000 according to its website although financial aid is available.Today, there are almost 1,200 Waldorf school

30、s and more than 1,900 Waldorf kindergartens around the world, according to the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education. These schools can be found in approximately 60 different countries around the world. Roughly 130 Waldorf schools, both public and private, are in the United States. The Waldorf Educa

31、tion model has become most popular in European countries, having even influenced many of the public schools.28Why did Rudolf Steiner open his first school in 1919?AHe wanted to help children make progress academicallyBHe planned to fully develop childrens potentials in all aspects.CHe expected child

32、ren to have more indoor activities.DHe tried to follow the teaching in Germany at that time29Which of the following receives the most attention in Waldorf education?ADeveloping the sense of responsibility.BRemembering knowledge about facts.CAchieving high status in society.DGetting high marks in the

34、 popularity of Waldorf schools.DThe pros and cons of Waldorf education.D“Weve designed buildings for 100-year floods;” says Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, director of the Institute for Health in the Built Environment. “But there will be another epidemic or another pandemic - or there might just be anoth

35、er flu season. Lets go ahead and learn to design for the 100-year flu. ”Public health officials agree that one of the simplest wys to prevent the indoor spread of the virus is to increase the amount of outside air that comes into our buildings. The simple act of opening a window can meaningfully red

36、uce the concentration of infectious (感染的) particles in the air.But in many current office buildings, the windows arent operable. Creating a tight air seal in a building is one of the main strategies used to make buildings more energy-saving. So architects are now wrestling with how to increase air c

37、irculation without accelerating energy consumption. One solution, according to Kevin Van Den Wymelenberg, is a special type of window design. This allows outside air to be warmed or cooled, as needed, when it enters the building.Most current office buildings usually adopt open-plan offices, which ar

38、e suitable for modern office work. But in time of pandemic, viruses spread easily among workers in the office. Rather than seal employees into individual hard-walled rooms, office designers can preserve the benefits of open-plan offices by fitting airflow systems that clean the air breathed out. For

39、 example, vents (通风口) can be installed at the top of the room to pull out the cloud of exhaled (呼出的) air and for fresh air to be delivered along the floor. This type of “biophilic design” can increase productivity and improve physical health.What all these changes have in common is that theyll happe

40、n only if the public continue to focus on indoor health after the acute crisis of the pandemic has passed. In the long run, whats perhaps even more important is making whole environments support human immune function.32According to Kevin, what is a solution to improving air circulation without consu

41、ming more energy?ACreating specially-designed windows. BIncreasing the amount of outside air.CFitting vents at the top of the building. DDesigning a tight air seal in the building.33Which of the following may be considered a “biophilic design”?AOffices with exhaled air.BOffices with airflow systems.

42、COffices with big windows.DOffices with individual rooms.34What does the author focus on in the last paragraph?AAdding some background information. BExplaining the concept of indoor health.CExpressing the expectation for the future. DProviding the theoretical basis for the research.35What can be the
