Since May 19, visitors have been able to take an in-depth wiki tour of the town with their phones by scanning more than 1,000 different bar codes that have been placed on various landmarks（地标）．The phones immediately find out each landmark's Wikipedia page.‎ ‎ Created in 2001, Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia(百科全书) written and edited by anyone who wants to contribute. It attracts more than 400 million visitors each month. The Monmouth project, called Monmouthpedia, aims to describe every famous place, person, object, plant, and animal in the town in as many languages as possible. Over the past six months, many people came together to make that happen. The town has free town-wide Wi-Fi. Local people created nearly 500 new articles about the town and updated about 150 existing ones. Other volunteers translated the articles into more than 26 languages, including Hindi, Czech, Hungarian, and Latin.‎ ‎ Universities, museums, historic sites, hundreds of shops and businesses and most schools in Monmouth have been tagged（给......加上标签） with QRpedia codes - bar codes that a phone can read through its camera, Each code takes a person to scan it to a Wikipedia page in his or her chosen language.

One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings. But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt(柏油) roads? ‎ Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside. ‎ The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road. Some, however, dive deep into the ground. ‎ When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers(交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store. ‎ In winter, the working system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice. ‎ ‎1. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs? [来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K]‎ A. Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss. [来源:学科网]‎ B. Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities. ‎ C. The Dutch engineer’s system has been widely used. ‎ D. Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads. ‎ ‎2. For what purpose are the diving pipes used? ‎ A. To absorb heat from the sun. ‎ B. To store heat for future use. ‎ C. To turn solar energy into heat energy. ‎ D. To carry heat down below the surface. ‎ ‎3. From the last paragraph we can learn that　　　.　‎ A. some pipes have to be re-arranged in winter B. the system can do more than warming up the building C. the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface D. less heat may be collected in winter than in summer ‎4. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows? ‎ A. What we shall do if the system goes wrong. ‎ B. What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads. ‎ C. How the system cools the building in summer. ‎ D. How the system collects heat in spring and autumn. ‎ ‎【参考答案】7.1-4 DDBC　 ‎ 阅读理解 Hans was an honest fellow with a funny round good-humored face. Living alone, every day he worked in his garden. In all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. All sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flower’s place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell.‎ ‎ Hans had many friends, the most devoted being the Miller. So devoted was the rich Miller to Hans that he’d never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. The Miller used to talk about noble ideas, and Hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. ‎ ‎ The neighbors thought it strange that the rich Miller never gave Hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but Hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. ‎ ‎ In spring, summer, and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. Though extremely lonely, the Miller never came to see him then. ‎ ‎ “There’s no good in going to see Hans while the snow lasts.” The Miller said to his wife, “When people are in trouble they shouldn’t be bothered. So I’ll wait till the spring comes when he’s happy to give me flowers.”‎ ‎ “You’re certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “It’s quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.”‎ ‎ “Couldn’t we ask Hans up here?” said their son. “I’ll give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.” ‎ ‎ “How silly you are!” cried the Miller. “I really don’t know what’s the use of sending you to school. If Hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybody’s nature. I am his best friend, and I’ll always watch over him, and see that he’s not led into any temptation. Besides, if ‎ Hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldn’t be confused. The words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that.” He looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea. ‎ ‎ Spring coming, the Miller went down to see Hans. Again he talked about friendship. “Hans, friendship never forgets. I’m afraid you don’t understand the poetry of life. See, how lovely your roses are!”‎ ‎ Hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter. ‎ ‎ “I’ll give you many good things. I think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the Miller. “And now, as I’ll give you many good things, I’m sure you’d like to give me some flowers in return. Here’s the basket, and fill it quite full.”‎ ‎ Poor Hans was afraid to say anything. He ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the Miller’s basket, imagining the many good things promised by the Miller. ‎ ‎ The next day he heard the Miller calling: “Hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?”‎ ‎ “I’m sorry, but I am really very busy today.”‎ ‎ “Well,” said the Miller, “considering that I’m going to give you my things, it’s rather unfriendly of you to refuse. Upon my word, you mustn’t mind my speaking quite plainly to you.”‎ ‎ Poor Hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted.‎ ‎ One evening Hans was sitting by fire when the Miller came. ‎ ‎ “Hans,” cried the Miller, “My little boy has fallen off a ladder and hurt himself, and I’m going for the Doctor. But he lives so far away, and it’s such a bad windy night. It has just occurred to me that you can go instead of me. You know I’m going to give you my good things, so you should do something for me in return.”‎ ‎ “Certainly,” cried Hans. He struggled into the stormy night, and got the doctor to ride a horse to the Miller’s house in time to save the boy. However, Hans got lost in the darkness, and wandered off into a deep pool, drowned.‎ ‎ At Hans’ funeral, the Miller said, “I was his best friend. I should walk at the head of the ‎ procession.” Every now and then he wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. ‎ ‎16.
