Running the length of the wall was a brave exp

11、edition, venturing into sparsely populated regions where there was little chance of help if the runner had an accident. During another trip, Lindesay and his team ventured deep into the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. The explorers almost died from dehydration(脱水） . In total, Lindesay estimates in an inter

12、view that he has spent about 1,600 days of his life, or four full years, on the Great Wall in all seasons.Lindesay and his wife, Wu Qi, whom he got to know and fell in love with during his trips in China, had a farmhouse at the foot of the wall. During his exploration, he noticed some sections of th

13、e wall were badly damaged and covered with litter. Modernization and development were making the situation even worse.

18、e that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and whats know

19、n as fine PM.Air pollution has been linked to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death.

20、o make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles （颗粒）of pollution in the air.

21、ts of the world.The World Health Organization （WHO） recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air.

27、 concrete bridge, which is meant to be used by cyclists. There was applause as officials wearing hard hats and workmens jackets rode over the bridge on their bikes at the opening ceremony in the southeastern town of Gemert. “The bridge is not very big, but it was rolled out by a printer which makes

28、it unique,” Theo Salet, from the Eindhoven University of Technology, told Dutch broadcaster NOS. Work on printing the bridge, which has some 800 layers, took about three months after starting in June and it is made of pre-stressed concrete, according to the university. “One of the advantages of prin

29、ting a bridge is that much less concrete is needed than in the conventional technique in which a mould (泥浆) is filled,” it said on its website, adding “a printer deposits the concrete only where it is needed.”The eight-metre (26-foot) bridge crosses a water-filled channel to connect two roads, and i

31、 resources were needed and there was significantly less waste,” he added.The Netherlands is among countries, with the United States and China, taking a lead in the cutting-edge technology of 3D printing, using computers and robotics to construct objects and structures from scratch without using much

32、 traditional manpower. Last year a Dutch architect unveiled (揭示) a unique 3D printer with which he hopes to construct an “endless loop” building. And a Dutch start-up called MX3D has begun printing a stainless-steel bridge, of which a third is already completed. The aim is to finish printing by March and lay the bridge over an Amsterdam canal in the future.32. According to the text, what makes the bridge unique?A. It adopts 3D printing. B. It opens only to cycl
