26、sting of small particles of different sizes. PM2.5 has a diameter of fewer than 2.5 micrometers, about 30 times smaller than a human hair.

34、ritish made a plan to build an aircraft carrier with ice. They thought it could get planes within the striking distance of their targets. Scientists discovered they could strengthen ice by adding wood pulp (木浆)to it. This mixture of ice and wood pulp was named “pykrete”- after Geoffrey Pyke, who was
35、 one of the scientists developing it. A pykrete ship was made in 1943 which was supposed to be more than a mile long. But plans for it were put on hold for many reasons, one of which was the ships high cost.Pykrete still inspires some architects. One is Arno Pronk. His team builds structures- buildi

Ice walls might even help protect astronauts because ice can block radiation. Plus, people wouldnt have to bring water from Earth. Ice is alre
39、ady found on freezing Mars. Though still only a concept, the current idea is to pack the ice in plastic containers, which would help give the ice some structure. And it would keep the material in if temperatures caused the ice to melt or turn directly to water vapor.32. What did Arno Pronk learn fro
