Question

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)文中信息完成文后表格。（每空一詞）

When computer servers (服務(wù)器) operate a large program, they can get very hot. Cooling the servers can cost a lot. So some scientists want to know what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be used.

Data (數(shù)據(jù)) centres of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have

thousands of computer servers. As these servers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems. These systems send the heat into the air.

A company in Holland (荷蘭) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使運(yùn)行) the servers

and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So it developed a device (裝置) called the e-Radiator. It contains a computer server connected to the Internet. By placing these servers inside people’s homes instead of out-the-way data centres, the company hopes to heat homes from excess computer heat, while lowering costs for the computer users.

Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes. Jan Visser is one of them. He says the amount of heat produced by the e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the computer server. “It’s a great help for my family,” he says.

The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system

could save its users about $440 in heating costs a year.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】heat

【2】work

【3】cool

【4】wasted

【5】warm

【6】homes

【7】money

【8】energy

【9】more

【10】tested

【解析】本文主要介紹了利用新發(fā)明e-Radiator來(lái)充分利用電腦散發(fā)出來(lái)的熱量給家庭供暖。

【1】heat

根據(jù)So it developed a device (裝置) called the e-Radiator. It contains a computer server connected to the Internet. By placing these servers inside people’s homes instead of out-the-way data centres,可知通過(guò)e-Radiator可以把電腦散發(fā)出來(lái)的熱服務(wù)于人們的家用，故此處為heat。

【2】work

根據(jù)A company in Holland (荷蘭) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使運(yùn)行) the servers

And可知讓這些服務(wù)器運(yùn)行、工作需要支付電費(fèi)，故此處為work。

【3】cool

根據(jù)then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy.可知讓這些服務(wù)器涼下來(lái)需要再付錢，故此處為cool。

【4】wasted

根據(jù)These systems send the heat into the air.可知這些電腦系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生的熱量被排到空氣中，因此被浪費(fèi)了，故此處為wasted。

【5】warm

根據(jù)the company hopes to heat homes from excess computer heat, while lowering costs for the computer users.可知使用電腦散發(fā)的熱量這樣能降低電腦使用者的費(fèi)用，因此家里取暖應(yīng)需要費(fèi)用，故此處為warm。

【6】homes

根據(jù)By placing these servers inside people’s homes instead of out-the-way data centres, the company hopes to heat homes from excess computer heat, while lowering costs for the computer users.可知把電腦從數(shù)據(jù)中心搬出來(lái)，放到不同的家庭里，讓這些家使用電腦散發(fā)的熱量來(lái)供暖，從而降低他們費(fèi)用。故此處為homes。

【7】money

根據(jù)It says the system could save its users about $440 in heating costs a year.可知這種新方法可以省錢，故此處為money。

【8】energy

根據(jù)A company in Holland (荷蘭) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使運(yùn)行) the servers

and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So it developed a device (裝置) called the e-Radiator.可知因?yàn)檫\(yùn)行電腦和讓電腦涼爽下來(lái)浪費(fèi)很多能量，因此發(fā)明了e-Radiator這個(gè)裝置，因此這個(gè)裝置能節(jié)約能量。故此處為energy。

【9】more

根據(jù)He says the amount of heat produced by the e-Radiator depends on the work being done by the computer server.可知e-Radiator產(chǎn)生的熱量數(shù)量取決于電腦服務(wù)器所做的工作，電腦服務(wù)器做的工作越多，它產(chǎn)生的能量越多。故此處為more。

【10】tested

根據(jù)Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.可知這個(gè)供熱系統(tǒng)正在被檢測(cè)，故此處用tested。
