In some of the hottest markets, 3D-printed houses are competing against traditional wood-frame houses with features of “cheap”, “saffe" 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 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-printed housing community will be built in Rancho Mirage, a desert resort city in California, according to developer Pal ar i. 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. 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.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 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.Will 3D-printed houses replace traditional houses? Only time will tell.24. What is the advantage of a 3D-printed house?A. There is large space in a 3D-printed house.B There is a 2-car garage in the house.C. It's better than a wood-frame house in keeping warm.D. It is friendly to the environment.25 . What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. 3D-printed houses are to appear in housing market.B Buyers are attracted by the design of 3D-printed houses.C. Construction technology companies are competing in the new field.D. The new technology has helped solve the problems caused by the lack of housing.26. What is the author's attitude towards 3D-printed houses?A. Neutral.B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful.D. Negative.27. What is the best title for the passage?A. 3D-printed houses bring up housing costs3D-printed houses make life safer and easier3D-printed houses raise the eco-friendly needs3D-printed houses emerge in the US housing marketCParents looking for education pins, especial for kindergarten, have probably come across the term Waldorf. 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. Steiner's schools focused on “whole child development, rather than the narrow academic focus popular 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 students 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 equipped 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 artistic 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 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 schools 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 theUnited States. The Waldorf Education model has become most popular in European countries, having even influenced many of the public schools.28.A.B.C.D.Why did Rudolf Steiner open his first school in 1919?He wanted to help children make progress academicallyHe planned to fully develop children's potentials in all aspects.He expected children to have more indoor activities.He tried to follow the teaching in Germany at that timeWhich of the following
