Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus (校园) of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem — how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildings — theaters and offices as well as classrooms, are more sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned (使用空调的) even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing (再分配) it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others. Along the way, Pittsburgh has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces. We may conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard working overweight male genius. 【小题1】What is the characteristic of the buildings on Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh? A．They collect body heat to control the temperature inside. B．They are more comfortable to live in than other buildings. C．They use the light bulbs to heat the classroom. D．They consume less fuel to keep the classrooms cool. 【小题2】According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used ______. A．to find the producers of heat B．to provide heat for the hot water system C．to make the campus more beautiful D．to collect heat and reuse it 【小题3】The underlined phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to ______. A．the person who suffers most from heat B．the person who needs more heat than others C．the person who gives off most heat D．the person who makes better use of heat 【小题4】Which of the following may be the best title for this passage? A．Recovery of Body Heat B．Modern Building’s Heat System C．Body Heat and Its Producers D．Ways of Heating Building

As the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just now the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 percent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries. This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options are available.Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors (前辈), even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of scrapping a degree requirement for certain roles.For those for whom a degree is the desired route, consider that this may well be the first of many. In this age of generalists, it pays to have specific knowledge or skills. Postgraduates now earn 40 per cent more than graduates. When more and more of us have a degree, it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfillment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z’s career trajectory (轨道).Older generations often talk about their degree in the present and personal tense: “I am a geographer” or “I am a classist”. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it’s as if they already know that their degree won’t define them in the same way.【小题1】The percentage of UK graduates in non-graduate roles reflect ________.A．the shrinking value of a degreeB．Millennial’s opinions about workC．the desired route of social mobilityD．public dissatisfaction with education【小题2】The author considers it a good sign that ________.A．school leavers are willing to be skilled workersB．Generation Z are seeking to earn a decent degreeC．parents are changing their minds about educationD．employers are taking a realistic attitude to degrees【小题3】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．The employers’ preference for high school leavers.B．A wider variety of choices besides pursuing a degreeC．A change in parents attitudes towards college education.D．More emphasis put on lecture hall rather than classroom.【小题4】What can be concluded about generation Z from the last two paragraphs?A．They will have a limited choice of jobs.B．Lifelong learning will determine what they are.C．They will focus more on personal accomplishment.D．Education will no longer be a core part in their life.
