9、for Cats” Essay Contest Scholarship.As a college student in Boston, I formed the habit of buying used books. I enjoy the hunt, the good price and the unrecognized treasures. I find old textbooks, ex-bestsellers, and books on subjects Ive never heard of and now must learn all about. I dont search for

10、 rare books, first editions, or leather-bound editions but books that are worth reading.Rereading, for me, is a pleasure during retirement. The theater and the concert hall become less appealing to me, along with crowds. Staying alone and reading books have become extremely important to me. Literatu

My taste in books improves with age.While packing for a move, which occurs at intervals of five to seven year

12、s, I clear my shelves and pick my books. I abandon a few, later regret my decisions, and look for them again. Several years ago, I got rid of books related to my job-architecture. Some were design guides, reference books, product catalogs, and things that went out of date. Some were historical or ce

I held on to the red bulk of Sir Banister Fletchers A History of Architecture and books on Paris, Rome, and Boston.I gave away drafting equipment and instruments. I threw ou

This time, I stay put in a cottage that suits my status and Ive moved on in spirit. No doubt I will acquire more used books and throw away more books as passions grow and fade, like feat

18、 in combination with climate change, is expected to result in over a billion new consumers installing air-conditioning systems in the coming decades. Consequently, it will make cooling by far the largest use of electricity in the global building sector.Since the mid-20th century, the main way of sup

19、plying cooling to people in indoor environments has been through central air-conditioning systems. To prevent a large amount of heat loss, buildings have been designed with sealed envelopes, which do not allow fresh air as we would get if we were able to open windows in an office building. Air-condi

20、tioning technology changed the way we design buildings at the cost of disease transmission.Is there an alternative to AC that can still provide thermal comfort without needing to consume much energy in the process of cooling the air? A group of researchers developed a simple and cheap solution to ke

21、eping people comfortable without regulating the temperature of large volumes of indoor air.Their technology relies on the concept of radiant heat transfer, which involves the cooling or heating of the surfaces surrounding people, instead of cooling or heating the air. Radiant heating is the feeling

22、of the hot sun on our face during a cool spring day. Radiant cooing is the same physics, but in the opposite direction.In an initial demonstration of the radiant system that was installed in Singapore, it was calked “Cold Tube.” Researchers made people feel with 100 percent fresh air using 50 percen

23、t less energy, and therefore, it saved half the associated carbon emissions required by a typical air conditioner.People may all be accustomed to traditional air conditioners. Radiant systems indeed are much better than traditional ones, but before they are widely adopted, people first need to get a

24、ccustomed to the idea of getting comfortable by changing the temperature of surfaces, not the air. Theres still a long way too. After all, major technological change is not always easy to be accepted by he public.8What can we know about the traditional air-conditioning system?AIt is hard to install

25、in tall buildings.BIt poses a great risk to peoples health.CIt causes too much heat loss in buildings.DIt increases the difficulty of building design.9The researchers alternative to AC may be an example of _.Areaping what you sowBcasting pearls before swineCkilling two birds with one stoneDputting a

27、Whats the authors attitude towards the prospect of the radiant system?APositive.BAmbiguous.CObjective.DCritical.Hummingbirds might be instantly recognizable from the hum (嗡嗡声), but the cause of the characteristic has long been a mystery. Now researchers say they have cracked the conundrum, finally t

28、aking the “hmm?” out of hummingbirds.Scientists carried out experiments with a species known as Annas hummingbird. In the setup, scientists arranged microphones and high-speed cameras around a cage in which six hummingbirds fed on an artificial flower, one at a time. This allowed them to pick up the

29、 sounds produced by the birds to create a 3D acoustic (声学的) map, which was linked visually with the movement of the wings to explore what was driving the sounds, the team sought to measure the lift and drag forces produced by the moving of the wings in another experiment. This picked up the size of

30、the pressure forces produced and how they changed over time.When the researchers put the information about the forces together with the motion of the birds wings, they were able to predict the sounds that would be created from these factors alone. They then compared them with the 3D acoustic map pro

31、duced from the microphone setup. The results reveal that aerodynamic (空气动力学的) forces produced as the wings move, together with the speed and direction of the wing movements, are enough to explain the hummingbirds hum.The humming sound is caused by the pressure difference between the upper side and t

32、he lower side of the wing, which changes in size and direction as the wing flaps back and forth, the researchers explained. “This is why birds and insects make different sounds,” said David Lentink. co-author of the study. “Most birds are relatively quiet because they only produce their lift once in

33、 their downward wing beat. Hummingbirds and insects are noisy because they produce two for every beat of their wings.”The researchers said that while the findings were interesting in themselves, they could also have applications in future technologies, such as new drones (无人机) that are quieter when

34、flying through the air. Of course, with some hummingbirds flapping their wings up to 80 times a second, its unlikely that well see drones capable of copying these unique birds anytime soon.12What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?ASolved the puzzleBBroken the silence.CLearned their lesson

38、hopelessness. If not addressed, it can lead to additional health problems.The immune (免疫的) system, the bodys first line of defense against illness, can be affected by stress. High amounts of stress send out certain chemicals that are unfriendly to the immune system. In the short term, this may not h

First of all, it can be very difficult for a person to make the right decision with stress exhaustion. _18_ Whats more, the persons ability to process new information can decrease. And his possibility of making

40、 costly and harmful mistakes during work increases._19_ In the case of students, too much schoolwork combined with working long hours can be dangerous. Housewives often struggle to take many difficult tasks, including caring for children and maintaining a household. Other people may also experience

41、a unique combination of causes that result in stress exhaustion.To prevent stress exhaustion, stress management techniques should be used. _20_ There are a variety of techniques to improve sleeping habits, for example, setting a sleep schedule. Avoiding food and exercise for at least four hours befo

42、re sleeping has also been shown to improve sleep.AThey start with enough healthy sleep.BThe lack of sleep can also cause exhaustion.CHe may find it difficult to remember things.DThus, the immune system should be well protected by us.EBut in the long run, the immune system will be damaged.FPeople suf

The average Braille literacy (读写能力) remains very low, which _35_ her to begin printing childrens storybooks in Braille.
