【題目】語法填空

Our experience at the Children's Medical Care Center was eyeopening. We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive treatment. We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. The children, though suffering such great pains, 【1】 (be) so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them than we 【2】 (expect)．

One day, an incident deeply touched us. A girl suggested that she teach us how to fold paper. She taught us 【3】 great patience, explaining each step slowly and clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended to know nothing about it. We followed her, step by step, doing everything she told us. Finally, when we finished our work 【4】 (success), she gave each of us _【5】 big hug. We could see the pride and happiness on her face. Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. And it was not until then 【6】 we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.

Many stories happened at the Center. It was really a _【7】 (value) experience to us all, enriching our life in a positive way. The children's happy faces and _【8】_ strong minds will stay with us forever. The days we spent at the Center inspired us boys 【9】 (reflect) on many things. We began to reflect on how to deal with the difficulties in life, because our “troubles” seem not worth 【10】 (mention) at all compared with what these innocent kids are going through.

【題目】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 (噴嘴), which can quickly build a home based on a computer pattern, MSN News reported.

Contour Crafting, as it is named, is a layered fabrication (構(gòu)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

Dear fellow students,

There is a serious phenomenon in our school that many students crowded in the school store to buy snacks and some students even eat snacks in class.

Eating snacks are a bad habit and is also waste of money. In addition to, most snacks are unhealthy food, for they contain too many fat and sugar. Eating snacks improper may lead to fatness and illness. What's more, some students throw the wrappers everywhere, that pollutes our campus.

Dear fellow students, it's high time that we pay attention to this phenomenon. Our high school students should develop good eating habits. Remember that three regular meals a day as well as a balance diet is essential for us.
