阅读下列材料,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案,
When a computer works on a group of programs,it can get very hot.Cooling the computer can cost a lot.So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could beused.
Large Internet companies(公司)such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers.As these computers deal with information,they produce lots of heat,so they need huge cooling systems(系统).These systems send the heat in to the air.
A company in Holland(荷兰)thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy.So the company developed a special device﹣thee﹣Radiator.
Boaz Leupe,head of the company,says that e﹣Radiator works as a heating system and saves money.He explains that the energy is used twice﹣once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.
“We pay for the computer using,so,in that way,homeowners get heating for free,”Boaz says.Jan Visser is one of the homeowners.“If you use the computer more,the e﹣Radiator producers more heat,”he says,“It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.”But he is ready to try it.It’s a great help for his family.
The company says e﹣Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃.It says the system could save its users about 440 a year.
62.Before the e﹣Radiator appears,usually the heat of a computer A .

【考点】科普知识类阅读.
【分析】翻译:当计算机的一组程序,它会很热.冷却计算机可以花费很多.所以一些科学家想知道把计算机散出的热应用起来看会发生什么.
大型互联网公司(公司)如谷歌和微软有数千台电脑.这些电脑处理信息,它们产生大量的热,所以他们需要巨大的冷却系统(系统).这些系统将热散到空气中.
在荷兰的公司(荷兰)认为花钱让电脑工作,然后还要支付冷却的费用是能量的浪费.因此公司开发了一种特殊的自身散热器.
Boaz leupe,该公司负责人,说e﹣radiator作为能量系统和节省金钱.他解释说,这些热量能再次利用到家庭供暖中并且让电脑冷却下来,用户不必支付冷却电脑的费用.
五位荷兰的房主正在测试他们家里的供暖系统.
“我们支付电脑的使用费用,并且,还可以取得免费的供暖,”Boaz说.Jan Visser 是房主之一.“如果你使用计算机越多,e﹣radiator将产生更多的热量,”他说,“如果你不经常使用你的电脑,那它不能提供足够的热量.”但他愿意尝试它.这是一个对他的家庭很好的帮助.
该公司表示,e﹣radiators产生高达55℃温度.系统可以节省用户一年440左右.
【解答】62.由第二段最后一句可知:电子散热器出现前,电脑的热量通常被释放到空气中,故选:A.
63.由第四段第一句“Boaz Leupe,head of the company,says that e﹣Radiator works as a heating system and saves money”可知:e﹣radiator 主要是被用来提供热量的,故选:D.
64.由第三段最后一句可知:“device”汉语意思是“仪器”故选:C.
65根据全文及最后一段可知:应选:B

[2018·菏泽改编]
Recently, a designer in Hong Kong has invented a special book that can

transform(变形) into a piece of furniture. The special book is called Bookniture. It can be unfolded to become a chair or a small table. People can either carry it around for a portable(轻便的) chair or can store it in their homes to use as extra furniture.
The book was designed by Mike Mak. He came up with the idea after never having enough seats for his friends in his home in Hong Kong.
“I love having friends at my place, but I have never had enough seats for everyone—we would always end up with just sitting on the floor. I really want a seat that doesn't take up any floor space when I don't need it. One day, the empty space on my bookcase drew my attention. Then came the new idea—Bookniture, furniture hidden in a book,” said the 30-year-old designer.
Made from fully-recyclable kraft paper(牛皮纸), the book measures 33 cm by 18 cm. It expands(扩大) to 14 times bigger once it's opened, and can support up to 1,000 kg of weight. It comes in two colors, brown and black, and can be bought for between £55 and £57.
1.The book is special because .
A.it can be used as a bag to carry things B.it is made from recyclable plastic
C.it can hold up to 1,000 kg of weight D.it can be changed into a chair or a table
2.Paragraph 3 is about .
A.how Mike came up with the idea B.who designed Bookniture
C.what Bookniture looks like D.why Mike has so many friends
3.What information can we learn about Bookniture from the last paragraph?
①size ②color ③weight ④price ⑤material
A.①②③④ B.①②④⑤ C.①③④⑤ D.①②③④⑤
4.What can be the best title for this passage?
A.Mike Mak B.Furniture C.Bookniture D.Bookseller
