[2021·长春市高三质量监测三] Fauja Singh, 110, who broke marathon records and was called the “Superman” before hanging up his running shoes seven years ago, will be the subject of a Bollywood film, Fauja, tracing his remarkable career.

Mr. Singh, born in India in 1911, was an enthusiastic amateur runner in his youth, but gave it up halfway. After a series of personal tragedies including the deaths of his wife and two of his children, he returned to his former passion in his eighties.

He moved to the UK soon after and now lives in Ilford, east London. He arrived for his first training session in Redbridge in a three­piece suit, and his first race was the London marathon in 2000. Three years later in Toronto, he broke the world record for the 90­plus. In 2011, when he turned 100, Mr. Singh set eight world records in a day. He ran the 100m in 23.14s, then added the 200m, 400m, 800m, 1，500m, the mile, the 3，000m and 5，000m world records. Three of the events had never been attempted by anyone over the age of 100 before. Days later, he became the first centenarian (百岁老人) to complete a marathon, again in Toronto, with a time of 8：11: 06.

Mr. Singh retired from competitive running in 2013 but continued jogging for pleasure. When asked about the secret of longevity (长寿) , he owed it to a vegetarian diet and avoiding smoking, alcohol and fried food. Of marathon running he said，“The first 20 miles are not difficult. As for the last six miles, I keep talking to myself, ‘Keep it up, old boy ! ’”

[2021·烟台市学业水平诊断] Experts have long predicted that 3D printing will revolutionize(变革) the construction industry. The world's first two­story home printed in a single piece emerged in Antwerp, Belgium.

“What makes this house so unique is that we printed it with a fixed 3D concrete printer，”said Emiel Ascione, project manager at Kamp Construction Company, which pioneered the project. “Other houses that were printed around the world only have one floor. In many cases, the components were printed in a factory and were fitted together on­site. We, however, printed the entire building envelope in one piece on­site. ”

The construction process began in November 2019 and took only 3 weeks, with the delivery of a massive 32­foot ×32­foot cement (水泥) 3D printer, known as BOD2. While it needed some human help to set up, once in operation, BOD2 was fully autonomous, requiring just one person to monitor the work from a nearby computer.

The two­story, 986­square­foot home, which has a small kitchen, two living rooms and a bathroom, as well as many human­installed eco­friendly features, such as underfloor heating and solar panels, was open from July 2020 to the end of September. It is aimed to encourage the construction industry to adopt emerging 3D printing technologies in its construction techniques.

“The 3D printed structure cost about 60 percent less than a typical brick home and was also much stronger，” Ascione said. “It shows the construction industry the accessibility and potential of this technique. ”

This is not the only 3D printed housing project in the works. In Tabasco, Mexico, the world's first 3D printed neighborhood has been built. The two­bedroom homes, designed to accommodate the homeless, are strong enough to withstand natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. At this rate, 3D printers may soon become a fixture at construction sites worldwide.

5．What is BOD2 used for?

A．Producing concrete.

B．Printing building outlines.

C．Making engineering drawings.

D．Putting together house components.

6．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．The construction process.

B．The two­story house.

C．The cement 3D printer.

D．The nearby computer.

7．Why was the two­story house open to the public?

A．To shelter the homeless.

B．To attract more investment.

C．To demonstrate its multi­functions.

D．To promote 3D printing in the building industry.

8．What can be the best title for the text?

A．3D Printing: A Solution to Housing Problems

B．BOD2: New Trend of the Construction Industry

C．Mexico's 3D Printed Neighborhood Is Well Received

D．World's First Two­story Home Was Wholly­printed in Belgium
