When computer servers operate a complex programthey can get very hotCooling the servers can be costlySo researchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captured and used
Data centers of large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computer serversAs these servers process informationthey create large amounts of heatso they need huge cooling systemsThese systems send the heat into the air
The Dutch company Nerdalize thinks paying for electrieity to operate the servers and then paying again to cool them is a waste of energySo it developed a device called the eRadiatorIt is a computer server that also works as a heating sourceBoaz Leupe is the chief executive officer of NerdalizeHe says the eRadiator saves money because companies don't have to pay to cool their servers
The kilowatt(千瓦) hour you are using is used twiceonce to heat the home and once to compute the client's task without the cooling overheadHe says five homeowners in the Netherlands are testing the heating device in their homesWe reimburse the electricity the server usesand that we can do because of the computer clients on the other sideandin that wayhomeowners actually get heating for freeand computer users don't have to pay for the overhead of the data center
Jan Visser is one of the participants in the yearlong experimentHe says the amount of heat produced by the eRadiator into room depends on the work being done by the computer serverHe says it can not be used as the primary source of heatBut he is ready to try it
He says if it provides enough warmthhe will be able to use his home's heating system lesswhich will save him moneyNerdalize says eRadiators create heat temperatures of up to 55℃It says the devices could save users up to 440 in heating costs a year
21Why did researchers ask what would happen if the heat created by the servers could be captured and used
ABecause computers can get very hot
BComputer servers is a complex program

23Nerdalize developed the eRadiator because_________
AeRadiator cost less energy
BeRadiator can cool the servers for free
CeRadiator can create cold air for free
[答案]B
24According to Jan Visserthe amount of heat produced by the eRadiator_________
Adepends on the work being processed by PC
Bcan not be used as the home's heating system
Ccan not be used as the main source of heat
[答案]C
25The best title for this passage wonld be_________
