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 companys chief engineer. So Im 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. Its 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 dont have one of lifes most basic human needs, and thats 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 strongB . light and soft.C . strong but expensiveD . hard and strong.（2）What is the meaning of the underlined word property in Paragraph 3? A . land for farmingB . land for building housesC . land for raising animalsD . land for running companies（3）It will take about hours to print a house if the printer is at its full speed. A . 12B . 24C . 36D . 48（4）What is the best title for this passage? A . The Future of 3D-printingB . The History of 3D-printingC . The New Use of 3D-printingD . The Instructions of 3D-printing14. （10分）阅读理解Frank is my brother. He is twenty-one years old. He is a waiter. He works in Green Restaurant. He works very hard. And he is kind to people.
