Question

【题目】阅读下面的短文，根据文中信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

When computer servers (服务器) 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 (数据) 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 (荷兰) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使运行) the servers

and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So it developed a device (装置) 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.

【答案】

【1】heat

【2】work

【3】cool

【4】wasted

【5】warm

【6】homes

【7】money

【8】energy

【9】more

【10】tested

【解析】本文主要介绍了利用新发明e-Radiator来充分利用电脑散发出来的热量给家庭供暖。

【1】heat

根据So it developed a device (装置) 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,可知通过e-Radiator可以把电脑散发出来的热服务于人们的家用，故此处为heat。

【2】work

根据A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使运行) the servers

And可知让这些服务器运行、工作需要支付电费，故此处为work。

【3】cool

根据then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy.可知让这些服务器凉下来需要再付钱，故此处为cool。

【4】wasted

根据These systems send the heat into the air.可知这些电脑系统产生的热量被排到空气中，因此被浪费了，故此处为wasted。

【5】warm

根据the company hopes to heat homes from excess computer heat, while lowering costs for the computer users.可知使用电脑散发的热量这样能降低电脑使用者的费用，因此家里取暖应需要费用，故此处为warm。

【6】homes

根据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.可知把电脑从数据中心搬出来，放到不同的家庭里，让这些家使用电脑散发的热量来供暖，从而降低他们费用。故此处为homes。

【7】money

根据It says the system could save its users about $440 in heating costs a year.可知这种新方法可以省钱，故此处为money。

【8】energy

根据A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying for electricity to operate (使运行) the servers

and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So it developed a device (装置) called the e-Radiator.可知因为运行电脑和让电脑凉爽下来浪费很多能量，因此发明了e-Radiator这个装置，因此这个装置能节约能量。故此处为energy。

【9】more

根据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产生的热量数量取决于电脑服务器所做的工作，电脑服务器做的工作越多，它产生的能量越多。故此处为more。

【10】tested

根据Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.可知这个供热系统正在被检测，故此处用tested。
