A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): (12分)

In the past you could draw anything you wanted on a computer screen and then print it out on a piece of paper-a flat piece of paper. But imagine being able to print something that is three-dimensional-3D.Would you like to design an object, such as a cup of toy, and then “print” it out? Well, there is the technology to help you do this--to produce even a whole house!

3D printers might be the size of a suitcase, or even a small room, depending on the object they are made to produce. You make a 3D design on your computer and sent it to the printer. Inside the machine, the object you have designed is made as one object.

So how is this being used? In medicine, 3D printing is often used to make teeth. The dentist takes a 3D image, something like a photo, of a real tooth and a new one is printed in the exact shape. Then you might also want to print a mobile phone cover or a special pair of shoes.

Scientists are taking this even further. They have made a bicycle that just needs a chain and two tyres (轮胎).Car parts have been made for a while, and now they are even making a body of a whole car!

But imagine how printing a whole house might help people build houses. A Chinese company has made houses using a giant 3D printer. They use a mixture that includes concrete(混凝土)and recycled building waste. This is a good thing as it helps the environment. They believe that their method of printing houses is cheaper, faster, less dusty and less noisy than the ordinary way that houses are built.

It seems that 3D printing technology will change our world, and China is leading the way. 69.3D _______enables you to “print” out many objects you design on your computer.
