21、Waste heat from one of the London Underground’s lines will be used to warm over a thousand homes in the UK capital this winter. The warm air will be channeled from the Northern Line to support the London Borough of Islington’s district heating.
Named Bunhill 2,the heat network is a joint project between Islington Council, Transport for London and engineering firm Ramboll and is considered as the first of its kind in Europe. The council hopes the system will make London more self-sufficient (自给自足的) in energy, cut carbon emissions and reduce heating bills for people.Meanwhile, tube passengers on the underground can also expect cooler air.
District heating, also known as heat networks, is the supply of heat and hot water from a central source to a group of buildings. The Bunhill 2 district heating system is the second phase (阶段) of Islington Council’s Bunhill Heat and Power scheme-a heat network in Islington that was established in 2013 to warm approximately 700 homes.
The network currently channels heat created in the Bunhill Energy Centre power station into local council housing, schools and a leisure centre. Bunhill 2 will extend this network to more community buildings and a further 450 homes.
The central source of the Bunhill 2 heat network is a ventilation shaft (通风井)-a passage that is used to expel waste heat-in the abandoned (废弃的) City Road station. A heat pump designed by Ramboll will capture this extra heat from the ventilation shaft, before it is warmed to approximately 70 degrees Celsius. This will then be transferred (转移) into Islington’s heat network to supply heat and hot water to buildings.
According to the Greater London Authority, there is enough heat wasted in London to meet 38 per cent of the city’s heating demand. The expansion of district heating networks like Bunhill 2 could see this increase to 63 per cent by 2050.
“We believe that the use of large-scale heat in this way connected to urban district heating systems will play a major part in the Uk’s heating energy demand,” explained Lucy Padfield, director of District Heating at Ramboll.
“The use of heat pumps taking advantage of industrial waste heat sources is more carbon efficient than gas-fired combined heat and power, the usual source of heat for district energy schemes,” she continued. “I am convinced that with the increasing use of renewable power sources, large-scale heat pumps connected to district heating systems will play a major role in the future heating of cities in the UK.”

23、In America, experts find that campus jobs can help students not only in their studies,but also in their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experience for students.
In 2011, Clemson University, a public university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that was not only a way of creating more jobs,but also a way to provide special positions that would teach students valuable skills related to their interests or fields of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional (专业的) environments that would provide useful experience in their job searches after college.
The program works like this: any professor or student in Clemson University in need of professional help can come up with a plan. This could be a biology professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations (捐赠物) for the school. It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson University, such as a company that is designing new building for the campus.
If the position meets the conditions of the program,it will be listed on Clemson University’s website. Students ask to be thought for the job and go through an interview(面试). If accepted, students are allowed to work for one term. Before they start, they are also required to take a class that tells them what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term, students are tested on what they have learned from the experience.
The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson University had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program will have helped over 1,000 students by 2019.
“This is not just a success for the school. Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they finish their studies. After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork,” says Burton.
【1】Why did Clemson University ask Burton to develop the program?
A.To help poor students find jobs.
B.To research the relationship between studies and jobs.
C.To prepare students for the future after graduation.
D.To prepare some professional suggestions for Clemson University.
【2】Which is the right order of the things a student should do to work through the program?

e. Have an interview.
A.a, b, c, e, d.
B.b, c, a, d, e.

【3】What can we know from Burton’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Campus jobs only help students in their studies.
