A barred owl （横斑林鹘）was sitting in the fireplace in a home in the city of Bolton, staring at （he homeowner. Not sure how to deal with the bird, the homeowner called Mass Wildlife.“This individual was very calm and we simply reached in, gently grabbed it, and placed it in the animal carrier,“ Mass Wildlife Central District Manager Todd Olanyk says. Before releasing the owl, Olanyk examined the bird for injuries and Rnmd none, 'it was released just outside the house where it was found,he says.Wildlife experts say barred owls may find chimneys enticing during this time of year because they begin laying eggs from February through May.

In 2019, 3D printing company WASP and Mario Cucinclla Architects (MCA) revealed their concept (o design the first 3D printed house made entirely from clay.、Today, the joint project, known as TECLA, is finally complete and on display near Bologna, Italy.於Over the past few years, a number of 3D printed homes and communities have been conceptualized. While previous structures were made from concrete or plastic, TEC LA was用built from soil found at the site mixed with water, fibers from rice husks (壳)and a binder (粘 合剂)，the last of which is less than 5% of the total volume. Printing with clay docs have its weaknesses. It's a much slower process than quick-drying concrete - the design can be printed in 200 hours but (he clay mixture can take weeks to dry, depending on climate, and it also has height limitations.Building homes from earth, Cucinella pointed out, is not new. "The challenge was really using an old material in the history of architecture with new technology to find a new shape of a house,“ Cucinella said. To that end. the Crane WASP primers mixed water with the local earth, and then printed the 60-squarc-meter TECLA model layer by layer. The design features two circular spaces joined together with skylights, inviting full natural light inside. The residence includes a living area, a bedroom and bathroom. Its fumiture, including tables and chairs, can also be printed using WASP's machineiy, while components like doors and高三英语第4页（共8页）windows were fixed post-printing.The idea behind TEC LA isn't necessarily to copy the same home for any environment, but to adjust the design based on the location. ltWe are not producing one type of house that you can print and use everywhere, because it's difterent if you design a house in the north of Italy, or in the middle of Africa/* Cucinclla explained. "The house responds to different climates." Additionally, the building process can be easily taught and widely used.10. What is the disadvantage of printing with clay?A. 3D printers are costly.B. Clay is not strong enough.C. It's not easy to mix rice husks with clay. D. It takes a long time to dry the mixture.11. Which of the following best describes TECLA?A. It is air-conditioned.C. It is fully equipped.14. What is the significance of TECLA?A. It adapts to different climates.C. It uses few binders in printing.15. Wha（ is the best title for the text?B. It is the first 3D printed house.D. It adopts a solar heating system.B. It limits the height of buildings.D. It can be moved without effort.限Q 2 郛翦。在wQA. The challenges for 3D printingB.
