So researchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captured and used? Data centers of large In
11、ternet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computer servers. As these servers process information, they create large amounts of heat, so they need huge cooling systems, These systems send the heat into the air. The Dutch company Nerdalize thinks paying for electrieity to operate
12、 the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energy. So it developed a device called the e-Radiator. It is a computer server that also works as a heating source. Boaz Leupe is the chief executive officer of Nerdalize, He says the e-Radiator saves money because companies don t have t
13、o pay to cool their servers. The kilowatt（千瓦） hour you are using is used twice -once to heat the home and once to compute the client s task without the cooling overhead. He says five homeowners in the Netherlands are testing the heating device in their homes. We reimburse the electricity the server
14、uses, and that we can do because of the computer clients on the other side, and, in that way, homeowners actually get heating for free, and computer users don t have to pay for the overhead of the data center. Jan Visser is one of the participants in the yea工一long experiment. He says the amount of h
15、eat produced by the e -Rad into r depends on the work being done by the computer server. He says it can not be used as the primary source of heat. But he is ready to try it. He says if it provides enough warmth, he will be able to use his home s heating system . less, which will save him money. Nerd

20、 These researchers tinker（修衣卜） with machines in the lab and write computer software to control these devices. They re the best toys out there, says Howle Choset at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Choset is a roboticist, a person who designs, builds or programs robots. When Chose t was akid
21、, he was interested in anything that moved-cars, trains, aninals. He put motors on Tinkertoy cars to make them move. Later, in high school, he built mobile robots similar to small cars. Hoping to continue working on robots, he studied computer science in college. But when he got to graduate school a
22、t the Califomia Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Choset s lab mates were working on something even cooler than remotely controlled cars: robotic snakes. Some robots can move only forward, backward, left and right. But snakes can twist（扭曲）in many directions and travel over a lot of different type
23、s of terrain（地形）。”Snakes are far more interesting than the cars, Chose t concluded. After he started working at Carnegie Mellon, Chose t and his col leagues there bagan developing their own snake robots. Choset s team programmed robots to perform the same movements as real snakes, such as sliding an
24、d inching forward. The robots also moved in ways that snakes usually don t, such as rolling. Choset s snake robots could crawl（爬行） through the grass, swim in a pond and even climb a flagpole. But Chose t wondered if his snakes might be useful for medicine as well. For some heart surgeries, the docto
25、r has to open a patient s chest, cutting through the breastbone. Recovering Trom these surgeries can be very painful. What if the doctor could perform the operation by instead making a small hole in the body and sending in a thin robotic snake? Choset teamed up with Marco Zenati, a heart surgeon now
26、 at Harvard Medical School, to investigate the idea. Zenati practiced using the robot on a plastic model of the chest and they tested the robot in pigs. A company called Med robotics in Boston is now adapting the technology to surgeries on people. Even after 15 years of working with his team s creat
27、ions, I still don t get bored of watching the motion of my robots, Chose t says. 26. Chose t began to build robots in high school. T27. Snake robots could move in only four directions. F28. Chose t didn t begin developing his own snake robots until he started working at CarnegieMellon. T 29. Zenati

31、ks for entertainment. What ranks the second are books of literature and applied technology, and they each account for 25%. The percentage decreases to 15% as to students who prefer to read books relevant to their majors, while only 8%tend to read popular science books during their spare time. It sho
32、uld be noted that books of literature, appl ied technology, and entertaining books like magazines are main interests of college students. That s because these kinds of books are fun and easy to read; whats more, they bring students some cutting edge information regarding books of applied technology.
33、 The percentage of students who like to read profess ional books is relatively lower maybe due to the reason that these books are hard to understand and timeconsuming. To sum up, the data reveals a serious problem that college students reading preference stays at a relatively shallow level since the
34、 percentage of reading magazines exceeds that of literature and profess ional books. We thus suggest that colorful reading activities like recommending great books be carried out to help students develop capabilities of appreciation and criticism. 国家开放大学电大本科理工英语 4期末试题及答案 5 （试卷号： 1388)一、 交际用语（共计10分，
