The Most Beautiful Train Stations in the World
Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
The wide-open entrance square on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo’s main train station would look more at home in Amsterdam or Paris. Kingo Tatsuno’s classical European design took over six years to complete, finally opening in 1914. The statin has received several facelifts since the Second World War, most recently in 2012. It’s one of the biggest and busiest train stations in the world.
Beijing West Railway Station
The idea of building this station in the capital of China was put forward as early as 1959 but didn’t come to reality until 1996. It was the largest station in Asia at the time, although Shanghai’s Hongqiao Station has since surpassed it. The station itself has a unique architectural (建筑的) style, with the main body of the building having quite a functional Russian look, but the rooftop is decorated with three amazing Chinese pagodas.
Duoliang Station, Taiwan
This is the smallest station on this lit by a distance. In fact we’re not really choosing Duoliang for architectural reasons. This station is all about location, location, location. Surrounded by hi top greenery on one side and amazing Pacific Ocean scenery on the other, it’s one of the most scenic spots in all of Taiwan. This isn’t even a working station anymore, but the platforms have been adapted into viewing spots, extremely popular with local train spotters.
Stazione Milano Centrale in Milan
Milan’s central train station looks pretty much exactly as you’d imagine it. There are a mix of styles at play here, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, but the entire building is filled with a classic sense of Roman monumentality. The outer look is guarded by two statues, while its insides are equally impressive, as grand stonewalls curve (弯曲) into the station’s glass ceilings.
1. What do Tokyo Station and Beijing West Railway Station have in common
A. Both have European features.
B. Both were built in the early 1990s.
C. Both have been rebuilt several times.
D. Both are the largest domestic stations.
2. What do train spotters favor most about Duoliang Station
A. Its distance. B. Its small size.
C. Its surrounding scenery. D. Its architectural style.
3. What makes Stazione Milano Centrale impressive
A. Roman buildings B. Its various styles.
C. Statues on the walls D. The curving ceilings.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上最漂亮的火车站。

The last attempt of Ken Campbell to run could date back to high school. When his wife, Susan, injured her foot, she needed support to rejoin her running group, so Campbell went along to keep her company in the recovery.” We were just walking at the beginning,” he says, “I was heavy, and weighed over 90kg.” But as the weeks and months passed, the weight fell away, Susan recovered and Campbell’s abilities grew. At the age of 63, he ran 50km, and at 70, he completed a 100km ultramarathon.
So how does someone with no experience of running become an ultradistance runner in his 60s and 70s Susan had run marathons before her injury, but for Campbell, the turning point came when Susan’s Fleet Feet running group started training near their home.
Campbell went out to visit Susan’s group, and “the paths were a terrible mess. It had been raining, and I was slipping, sliding and falling. But I thought, well, I like this a lot.” What he liked above all was the feeling of “being wrapped by the path, being hugged by the closeness of the plants and the nearness of the river”.
Running the 100km ultramarathon took Campbell 16 hours. When Campbell crossed the finish line, Susan handed hima100km sticker to display on the back of his truck. “It is a public statement that you are part of this community,” he says. “Wherever we park, I see a line of vehicles with their various stickers and I feel that we area community.”
Campbell suffered from arthritis before he started running, and was “waiting for knee replacement”, but for now, he no longer needs an operation. It can put an end to the running—but the “sense of wellbeing and achievement will carry me on forever”, he says, “If I can’t run, I will walk.”
4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. What led to Campbell’s weight loss.
B. What made Campbell start running.
C. Why Campbell attempted to run marathon.
D. What Campbell did for Susan’s recovery.
5. What was the turning point for Campbell
A. Susan’s starting training. B. Falling down when training.
C. Feeling free in nature. D. His visit to Susan’s group.
6. What did the 100km sticker mean to Campbell
A. A sense of belonging. B. Encouragement from his wife.
C. A sense of achievement. D. Display of his happiness.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Well begun is half done. B. It is never too late to begin.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Ken Campbell从零开始跑步，逐渐成为超级长跑运动员的励志故事。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The last attempt of Ken Campbell to run could date back to high school. When his wife, Susan, injured her foot, she needed support to rejoin her running group, so Campbell went along to keep her company in the recovery.” We were just walking at the beginning,” he says, “I was heavy, and weighed over 90kg.” But as the weeks and months passed, the weight fell away, Susan recovered and Campbell’s abilities grew. ”（肯·坎贝尔最后一次尝试跑步要追溯到高中。当他的妻子苏珊的脚受伤时，她需要帮助才能重新加入跑步小组，所以坎贝尔陪着她一起康复。”一开始我们只是走路，”他说，“我很重，体重超过90公斤。”但几周、几个月过去了，体重减轻了，苏珊恢复了健康，坎贝尔的能力也增强了）可知，第一段主要是关于是什么让坎贝尔开始跑步的。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Susan had run marathons before her injury, but for Campbell, the turning point came when Susan’s Fleet Feet running group started training near their home.”（苏珊受伤前曾跑过马拉松，但对坎贝尔来说，转折点出现在苏珊的Fleet Feet跑步小组开始在他们家附近训练的时候。）根据第三段Campbell went out to visit Susan’s group, and “the paths were a terrible mess. （坎贝尔去拜访苏珊的团队，“路上一片狼藉。”）可知，坎贝尔的转折点是他对苏珊团体的访问。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When Campbell crossed the finish line, Susan handed hima100km sticker to display on the back of his truck. “It is a public statement that you are part of this community,” he says. “Wherever we park, I see a line of vehicles with their various stickers and I feel that we area community.””（当坎贝尔冲过终点线时，苏珊递给他一张100公里的贴纸，让他在卡车后面展示。“这是一份公开声明，表明你是这个社区的一部分，”他说。“无论我们在哪里停车，我都会看到一排贴着各种贴纸的车辆，我觉得我们是一个社区。”）可知，100公里的贴纸对坎贝尔意味着归属感。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At the age of 63, he ran 50km, and at 70, he completed a 100km ultramarathon.”（63岁时，他跑了50公里，70岁时，他完成了100公里的超级马拉松。）可知，文章主要讲述了Ken Campbell从零开始跑步，逐渐成为超级长跑运动员的励志故事。所以从短文中学到的是开始永远不嫌晚。故选B项。
C
Science fiction novels often tum into a nightmare (噩梦) halfway through—and for blue-collar workers who are at the bottom level of the labor force, there’s a doubt about the way the robot revolution story will end. By 2035, one in three jobs could be automated (自动化) by robots, predicts PwC, a business company.
“Robotics is traditionally applied to problems that fall into the categories ‘dirty,’ ‘dull,’ and ‘dangerous,’” says Jonathan Aitken, a robotics expert at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. “Automation of a repeated process is always achievable. The lack of variability means that the process is the same, time after time. This is the reason that robots fell naturally into automotive production.” It’s been the case since the first robots appeared on production lines.
But it’s not just blue-collar jobs that are feeling the difficult situation from the rise of the robots. White-collar roles are also affected, particularly those focused on data sorting, a task well-suited for artificial intelligence. Financial services is one area that has turned to automated robots carrying out trades. When a computer can pick stocks better and quicker than a human, it makes sense to make use of them, and almost all Wall Street firms do
Jobs where workers are less likely to be replaced by robots include those in health care, although surgical (外科手术的) robots, which are controlled by remote health-care professionals in order to carry out more precise procedures, are already being used in hospitals. However, the gentle touch and caring comfort of a well-trained nurse or doctor can’t be copied by a robot automation.
“It’s important to ask the question of whether we want robots doing certain jobs,” says Aitken. “In replacing a human, especially in a human-facing role, we’re being asked to accept the robot. This is something that’ll take time to achieve. People still like people.”
8. In which workplace are robots most widely used at present
A. Schools. B. Hospitals. C. Factories. D. Banks.
9. What is the disadvantage of Robots according to the text
A. Doing repeated jobs. B. Having no remote control.
C. Not being automated enough. D. Lack of human-like feeling.
10. What does Aitken think of robots replacing a human
A. Unavoidable. B. Risky. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.
11. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Will Robots Take Our Jobs B. Can Robots Do Jobs Best
C. Robots: Future Labor Force D. Robots: Masters of Traditional Jobs
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了机器人是否会取代人类工作的问题，介绍了机器人的应用以及缺点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This is the reason that robots fell naturally into automotive production. (这就是机器人自然进入汽车生产的原因。)”以及“It’s been the case since the first robots appeared on production lines. (自从第一批机器人出现在生产线上以来，情况就是这样。)”可知，目前机器人应用最广泛的工作场所是工厂。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, the gentle touch and caring comfort of a well-trained nurse or doctor can’t be copied by a robot automation. (然而，一个训练有素的护士或医生的温柔触摸和关怀舒适是自动化机器人无法复制的。)”可知，机器人的缺点是缺乏人类的感觉。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““It’s important to ask the question of whether we want robots doing certain jobs,” says Aitken. “In replacing a human, especially in a human-facing role, we’re being asked to accept the robot. This is something that’ll take time to achieve. People still like people.” (艾特肯说：“我们是否需要机器人来做某些工作，这是一个重要的问题。在取代人类，尤其是在面对人类的角色中，我们被要求接受机器人。这是需要时间来实现的。人还是喜欢人的。”)”可推知，艾特肯对机器人取代人类持怀疑态度。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Science fiction novels often tum into a nightmare (噩梦) halfway through—and for blue-collar workers who are at the bottom level of the labor force, there’s a doubt about the way the robot revolution story will end. (科幻小说常常会在写到一半的时候变成噩梦——对于处于劳动力底层的蓝领工人来说，机器人革命故事的结局是有疑问的。)”以及倒数第二段“Jobs where workers are less likely to be replaced by robots include those in health care, although surgical (外科手术的) robots, which are controlled by remote health-care professionals in order to carry out more precise procedures, are already being used in hospitals. (工人不太可能被机器人取代的工作包括医疗保健行业，尽管外科手术机器人已经在医院中使用，这些机器人由远程医疗专业人员控制，以便进行更精确的手术。)”结合文章主要讨论了机器人是否会取代人类工作的问题，介绍了机器人的应用以及缺点。可知，A选项“机器人会抢走我们的工作吗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Visitors to an arts Venue (场馆) in Glasgow, Scotland, now have the perfect reason to keep dancing as hard as they can-they’re creating renewable energy.
The venue, which is called SWG3, has launched a system that uses the heat produced by dancing as a source of energy. The more energetically people dance, the more heat they create. Devices on the ceiling take in heat from inside the club and transport it through pipes using a special type of liquid. The heat energy travels through 12 holes into the ground to be stored 200 meters below. The heat energy can be kept in the bedrock (solid rock below the ground) like a thermal battery (a battery that stores energy as heat) until it is needed. Another system then moves the heat to areas that need warming.
The project, which is called Body heat, was officially setup on 6 October, but it was tested during the COP26 conference in Glasgow in November 2021. At the event, world leaders discussed how to settle climate change. The system stored the heat from visitors and used it to power lights and heating. Now, the owners of SWG3 say they’ll be able to switch off their gas boilers and use Body heat to supply all their heating. This would add up to big savings in the amount of CO2 they produce. The hope is that by 2025, SWG3 will not be releasing any CO2 into the atmosphere. This is called net-zero carbon emissions.
Dr Jon Gluyas, from Durham University, told the BBC that the Body heat project was a “really good move”. He said it could help with the energy crisis in the UK by producing more energy here instead of having to rely on buying energy from other countries. Angus Millar, from Glasgow City Council, said, “People really are making Glasgow greener—while having a great time.”
12. Where is heat energy preserved before being used
A. In pipes. B. In 12 holes. C. In the bed rock. D. In a battery.
13. What will Body heat contribute to
A. Money saving. B. Popularity of SWG3.
C. Energetic dance. D. CO2 emission reduction.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. World leaders are promoting Body heat.
B. Body heat is promising in fixing energy issues.
C. Body heat will supply all the heating for Glasgow.
D. The UK will no longer buy energy from abroad.
15. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean
A. Enjoying dancing. B. Joining in a good move.
C. Creating energy. D. Easing energy crisis.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一个名为SWG3的场馆已经启动了一个系统，利用跳舞产生的热量作为能源。人们跳得越有活力，他们产生的热量就越多。随之介绍了“体热”项目的优势和前景。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The heat energy can be kept in the bedrock (solid rock below the ground) like a thermal battery (a battery that stores energy as heat) until it is needed.”（热能可以像热电池(一种将能量储存为热量的电池)一样保存在基岩(地下的固体岩石)中，直到需要的时候）可知，热能在使用前被保存在基岩中。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This would add up to big savings in the amount of CO2 they produce.”（这将大大减少它们产生的二氧化碳量）可知，Body heat减少了二氧化碳排放。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Jon Gluyas, from Durham University, told the BBC that the Body heat project was a “really good move”. He said it could help with the energy crisis in the UK by producing more energy here instead of having to rely on buying energy from other countries.”（杜伦大学的Jon Gluyas博士告诉BBC，体温项目是一个“非常好的举措”。他说，通过在英国生产更多的能源，而不是依赖从其他国家购买能源，这将有助于解决英国的能源危机。）可知，“体热”有望解决能量问题。故选B项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“The more energetically people dance, the more heat they create.”（人们跳得越有活力，他们产生的热量就越多。）以及最后一段“People really are making Glasgow greener—while having a great time.”（人们在享受美好时光的同时，真的在让格拉斯哥变得更环保）可知，人们跳得越有活力，他们产生的热量就越多，也会更环保。所以划线词的意思是“享受舞蹈”。故选A项。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some days, you are just not feeling motivated (积极性高的). You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t want to communicate with others. You don’t want to do anything.____16____.
Here are four things you can try to get motivated.
Get Curious About Your Feeling
Take a moment to really investigate your feeling. Does it change Or does it remain the same _____17_____. Watch it for a while. Notice what changes. This has actually been shown to be an effective strategy for dealing with unwanted emotions; helping you to become more aware of your own experience, and teaching you to be with it.
Get Up And Shake Your Body
Seriously, do it. You may even want to jump around a little bit, do some push-ups, and really get that blood flowing. When you sit at your desk for too long, you become stiff (僵硬的)._____18_____. You may even want to take a quick walk around the neighborhood, with added benefits if you spend time in nature.
_____19_____
There is no one rule for getting you into action, because it always depends on you. Some people like to work in the morning, while others can only be productive late at night. If you find yourself stuck, think back to a time when you last felt motivated. Then ask yourself: how can you recreate this context (情境) to move you to action
Do Something Right Now
_____20_____. Instead, we get started doing something, and then we feel motivated to continue doing that thing. For example, motivation to exercise is often the result of a few previous exercise. Action always matters first in your path to motivation.
A. Find Your Personal Sweet Spot
B. Explore Your Own Feelings
C. If everything else fails, just do something
D. We don’t suddenly feel motivated to do certain things
E. Whether you want to or not, you will have to show up
F. Don’t try to force it to change, and instead just let it be there
G. A quick and easy way to change this is by getting back in your body
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了可以让你获得动力的四件事情。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t want to communicate with others. You don’t want to do anything”（你不想起床。你不想和别人交流。你什么都不想做。）和下文“Here are four things you can try to get motivated.”（这里有四件事可以让你获得动力）可知，即使你不愿意做，但是也得去做。由此可知，空处内容引出让你获得动力的四件事情。故E选项“不管你愿不愿意，你都得去做”切题。故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Take a moment to really investigate your feeling. Does it change Or does it remain the same ”（花点时间真正调查一下你的感觉。它会改变吗 还是保持不变 ）可知，选项承接上文说明具体的做法。故F选项“不要试图强迫它改变，而是让它保持原样”切题。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“When you sit at your desk for too long, you become stiff (僵硬的)”（当你在办公桌前坐得太久时，你会变得僵硬）和下文“You may even want to take a quick walk around the neighborhood, with added benefits if you spend time in nature.”（你甚至可能想在附近快速散步，如果你花时间在大自然中，会有额外的好处）可知，选项介绍当你在办公桌前坐得太久变得僵硬时应该怎么做。故G选项“一个快速而简单的改变方法是放松你的身体”切题。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“ Some people like to work in the morning, while others can only be productive late at night. If you find yourself stuck, think back to a time when you last felt motivated. Then ask yourself: how can you recreate this context(情境) to move you to action ”（有些人喜欢在早上工作，而有些人只能在深夜才有生产力。如果你发现自己被困住了，回想一下你上一次感到有动力的时候。然后问问你自己:你怎样才能重新创造这样的环境来推动你采取行动）可知，短文告诉我们要找到自己最佳的点。故A选项“找到自己最佳的点”切题，为本段的标题。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Instead, we get started doing something, and then we feel motivated to continue doing that thing.”（相反，我们开始做某事，然后我们感到有动力继续做这件事）可知，我们不会突然觉得有动力去做某些事情。而是一点点做，才有动力。故D选项“我们不会突然觉得有动力去做某些事情”切题。故选D项。

A
The Most Beautiful Train Stations in the World
Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
The wide-open entrance square on the Marunouchi side of Tokyo’s main train station would look more at home in Amsterdam or Paris. Kingo Tatsuno’s classical European design took over six years to complete, finally opening in 1914. The statin has received several facelifts since the Second World War, most recently in 2012. It’s one of the biggest and busiest train stations in the world.
Beijing West Railway Station
The idea of building this station in the capital of China was put forward as early as 1959 but didn’t come to reality until 1996. It was the largest station in Asia at the time, although Shanghai’s Hongqiao Station has since surpassed it. The station itself has a unique architectural (建筑的) style, with the main body of the building having quite a functional Russian look, but the rooftop is decorated with three amazing Chinese pagodas.
Duoliang Station, Taiwan
This is the smallest station on this lit by a distance. In fact we’re not really choosing Duoliang for architectural reasons. This station is all about location, location, location. Surrounded by hi top greenery on one side and amazing Pacific Ocean scenery on the other, it’s one of the most scenic spots in all of Taiwan. This isn’t even a working station anymore, but the platforms have been adapted into viewing spots, extremely popular with local train spotters.
Stazione Milano Centrale in Milan
Milan’s central train station looks pretty much exactly as you’d imagine it. There are a mix of styles at play here, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco, but the entire building is filled with a classic sense of Roman monumentality. The outer look is guarded by two statues, while its insides are equally impressive, as grand stonewalls curve (弯曲) into the station’s glass ceilings.
1. What do Tokyo Station and Beijing West Railway Station have in common
A. Both have European features.
B. Both were built in the early 1990s.
C. Both have been rebuilt several times.
D. Both are the largest domestic stations.
2 What do train spotters favor most about Duoliang Station
A. Its distance. B. Its small size.
C. Its surrounding scenery. D. Its architectural style.
3. What makes Stazione Milano Centrale impressive
A. Roman buildings B. Its various styles.
C. Statues on the walls D. The curving ceilings.
B
The last attempt of Ken Campbell to run could date back to high school. When his wife, Susan, injured her foot, she needed support to rejoin her running group, so Campbell went along to keep her company in the recovery.” We were just walking at the beginning,” he says, “I was heavy, and weighed over 90kg.” But as the weeks and months passed, the weight fell away, Susan recovered and Campbell’s abilities grew. At the age of 63, he ran 50km, and at 70, he completed a 100km ultramarathon.
So how does someone with no experience of running become an ultradistance runner in his 60s and 70s Susan had run marathons before her injury, but for Campbell, the turning point came when Susan’s Fleet Feet running group started training near their home.
Campbell went out to visit Susan’s group, and “the paths were a terrible mess. It had been raining, and I was slipping, sliding and falling. But I thought, well, I like this a lot.” What he liked above all was the feeling of “being wrapped by the path, being hugged by the closeness of the plants and the nearness of the river”.
Running the 100km ultramarathon took Campbell 16 hours. When Campbell crossed the finish line, Susan handed hima100km sticker to display on the back of his truck. “It is a public statement that you are part of this community,” he says. “Wherever we park, I see a line of vehicles with their various stickers and I feel that we area community.”
Campbell suffered from arthritis before he started running, and was “waiting for knee replacement”, but for now, he no longer needs an operation. It can put an end to the running—but the “sense of wellbeing and achievement will carry me on forever”, he says, “If I can’t run, I will walk.”
4. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A. What led to Campbell’s weight loss.
B. What made Campbell start running.
C. Why Campbell attempted to run marathon.
D. What Campbell did for Susan’s recovery.
5. What was the turning point for Campbell
A. Susan’s starting training. B. Falling down when training.
C. Feeling free in nature. D. His visit to Susan’s group.
6. What did the 100km sticker mean to Campbell
A. A sense of belonging. B. Encouragement from his wife.
C. A sense of achievement. D. Display of his happiness.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Well begun is half done. B. It is never too late to begin.
C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Actions speak louder than words.
C
Science fiction novels often tum into a nightmare (噩梦) halfway through—and for blue-collar workers who are at the bottom level of the labor force, there’s a doubt about the way the robot revolution story will end. By 2035, one in three jobs could be automated (自动化) by robots, predicts PwC, a business company.
“Robotics is traditionally applied to problems that fall into the categories ‘dirty,’ ‘dull,’ and ‘dangerous,’” says Jonathan Aitken, a robotics expert at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. “Automation of a repeated process is always achievable. The lack of variability means that the process is the same, time after time. This is the reason that robots fell naturally into automotive production.” It’s been the case since the first robots appeared on production lines.
But it’s not just blue-collar jobs that are feeling the difficult situation from the rise of the robots. White-collar roles are also affected, particularly those focused on data sorting, a task well-suited for artificial intelligence. Financial services is one area that has turned to automated robots carrying out trades. When a computer can pick stocks better and quicker than a human, it makes sense to make use of them, and almost all Wall Street firms do
Jobs where workers are less likely to be replaced by robots include those in health care, although surgical (外科手术的) robots, which are controlled by remote health-care professionals in order to carry out more precise procedures, are already being used in hospitals. However, the gentle touch and caring comfort of a well-trained nurse or doctor can’t be copied by a robot automation.
“It’s important to ask the question of whether we want robots doing certain jobs,” says Aitken. “In replacing a human, especially in a human-facing role, we’re being asked to accept the robot. This is something that’ll take time to achieve. People still like people.”
8. In which workplace are robots most widely used at present

Visitors to an arts Venue (场馆) in Glasgow, Scotland, now have the perfect reason to keep dancing as hard as they can-they’re creating renewable energy.
The venue, which is called SWG3, has launched a system that uses the heat produced by dancing as a source of energy. The more energetically people dance, the more heat they create. Devices on the ceiling take in heat from inside the club and transport it through pipes using a special type of liquid. The heat energy travels through 12 holes into the ground to be stored 200 meters below. The heat energy can be kept in the bedrock (solid rock below the ground) like a thermal battery (a battery that stores energy as heat) until it is needed. Another system then moves the heat to areas that need warming.
The project, which is called Body heat, was officially setup on 6 October, but it was tested during the COP26 conference in Glasgow in November 2021. At the event, world leaders discussed how to settle climate change. The system stored the heat from visitors and used it to power lights and heating. Now, the owners of SWG3 say they’ll be able to switch off their gas boilers and use Body heat to supply all their heating. This would add up to big savings in the amount of CO2 they produce. The hope is that by 2025, SWG3 will not be releasing any CO2 into the atmosphere. This is called net-zero carbon emissions.
Dr Jon Gluyas, from Durham University, told the BBC that the Body heat project was a “really good move”. He said it could help with the energy crisis in the UK by producing more energy here instead of having to rely on buying energy from other countries. Angus Millar, from Glasgow City Council, said, “People really are making Glasgow greener—while having a great time.”
12. Where is heat energy preserved before being used
A. In pipes. B. In 12 holes. C. In the bed rock. D. In a battery.
13. What will Body heat contribute to
A. Money saving. B. Popularity of SWG3.
C. Energetic dance. D. CO2 emission reduction.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. World leaders are promoting Body heat.
B. Body heat is promising in fixing energy issues.
C. Body heat will supply all the heating for Glasgow.
D. The UK will no longer buy energy from abroad.
15. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean
A. Enjoying dancing. B. Joining in a good move.
C. Creating energy. D. Easing energy crisis.
