The Rman Clsseum was built almst tw thusand years ag. Despite its age and a 14th century earthquake that kncked dwn the suth side, mst f the 150-sme ft building is still standing. Scientists and engineers have lng suspected a key t the building’s durability (使用年限) is the use f a specific Rman cncrete. But exactly hw this slid cncrete has cntributed t the architecture’s strength has been a mystery t researchers acrss the glbe.
A team f researchers recently discvered a ptential answer t why these ancient Rman buildings have been able t weather the test f time while many mdern cncrete structures seem t fall apart after a few decades. The answer is self-healing cncrete.
The material has three cmpnents: limestne (石灰石), vlcanic material and water. What the researchers fund was that the self-healing feature might be simply caused by chemistry accidentally. The limestne in the cncrete is likely the secret.
When the ancient Rmans made mrtar (灰浆), they heated up the lime t turn it int a substance called “quicklime”. And, because they intrduced water t the quicklime during mixing, the heat it prduced set up a chemical fundatin that culd strengthen the cncrete later. When tiny cracks start t frm later, the quicklime stps them frm becming bigger. When it rains, the lime reacts with the water t recmbine as varius frms f calcium carbnate (碳酸钙), quickly filling the crack r reacting with the vlcanic ash t “heal” the material.
Fr materials scientist Ainissa Ramirez, this new understanding f ancient Rman cncrete is a welcme discvery. “This is ne way that the material can be mre envirnmentally friendly,” says Ramirez. “It’s srt f like a message in a bttle. The Rmans made the material. We had t kind f figure ut hw they did it s that we can make better materials — and then, yu knw, in turn, be better prtectrs f ur envirnment.”
28. What can we learn frm Paragraph 1?
A. The secret f Rman cncrete has been revealed.
B. The Rman Clsseum was built in the 14th century.
C. The whle Rman Clsseum survived the earthquake.
D. Rman cncrete is essential t the architecture’s strength.
29. What des the underlined wrd “weather” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Take.B. Stand.C. Avid.D. Fail.
30. What d we knw abut the self-healing prcess?
A. The lime itself culd fill the crack later.
B. The quicklime shuld be made n rainy days.
C. The chemical fundatin culd weaken the cncrete.
D. Cmbining water and quicklime wuld prduce heat.
31. What can be inferred frm Ramirez’s wrds?
A. Peple can be inspired t make greener materials.
B. The secret f Rman cncrete is hidden in a bttle.
C. Rman cncrete has greatly imprved the envirnment.
D. Rman cncrete is ppular in making mdern architecture.

See a prfessinal. If yur child is struggling t attend schl, seek prfessinal help. Schedule an appintment with yur pediatrician(儿科医生)t talk abut yur child’s mental health needs. A physician may refer yu t a mental health prfessinal if it’s necessary.
