Culd lking thrugh trees be the view t a greener future? Trees replacing the clear glass in yur windws is nt a wrk f science fictin. It’s happening nw.
Frest Prducts Labratry researcher Junyng Zhu tgether with clleagues frm the University f Maryland and University f Clrad has develped a transparent wd material that may be the windw f tmrrw. Researchers fund that transparent wd has the ptential t utperfrm glass currently used in cnstructin in nearly every way.
While glass is the mst cmmn material used in windw cnstructin, it cmes with quite a few bad cnsequences. Heat easily transfers thrugh glass and amunts t higher energy bills when it escapes during cld weather and purs in when it’s warm. Glass prductin used fr cnstructin als cmes with a heavy carbn ftprint. Manufacturing emissins alne are apprximately 25,000 metric tns per year, withut cnsidering the heavy ftprint f transprting the glass.
The innvatin was develped using wd frm the balsa tree, which is native t Suth and Central America. The team treated balsa wd t an xidizing bath, where the wd is kept in a bleach slutin at rm temperature t remve the light-absrbing substance frm the structure. The wd is then penetrated (注入) with a synthetic plymer called plyvinyl alchl (PVA), creating a prduct that is virtually transparent. S the transparent wd is created, which is far mre durable and lighter than glass.
Switching t transparent wd culd prve t be cst efficient as well. It is apprximately five times mre thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy csts. It is made frm a sustainable, renewable resurce with lw carbn emissins.
With all f these ptential benefits fr cnsumers, manufacturing and the envirnment, the case fr transparent wd culdn’t be clearer.
8．What is the main prblem with glass used in windw cnstructin?
A．It is inefficient in letting heat ut.
B．It is incnvenient t transprt.
C．It causes a high eclgical price.
D．It scarcely reflects light and heat.
9．What des the underlined part “a bleach slutin” refer t?
A．A way t make clrs fade.
B．A liquid t make bjects pale.
C．A cntainer t stre liquids.
D．A prcess t slve prblems.
10．What is the authr’s attitude tward transparent, wd?
A．Skeptical.B．Ambiguus.C．Appreciative.D．Cnservative.
11．What d the researchers prbably agree with?
A．Innvatin is the vitality f scientific husing.
B．Things are nt always what they seem.
C．There are mre ways t the wd than ne.
D．There is nthing permanent except change.
In the digital age, it has becme easy fr students t find and cpy published material. Cpying anther persn’s writing withut giving them credit is called plagiarism. Universities in the U.S. have rules fr aviding plagiarism. But learning t crrectly fllw these rules can be difficult fr sme internatinal students.
Cpyright law prtects riginal wrks f authrship including bks, mvies, images and artwrks. Hwever, the law permits the unlicensed use fr activities including cmment, educatin and research. Therefre, students can include a small part f ed wrks in their writing and research if they prvide credit, r citatin (引文), t the creatrs f the wrks. Many universities even urge students t give credit t what they get frm cnversatins with prfessrs r ther students. Harvard even warns students abut cpying themselves. That is, they cannt hand in the same wrk fr mre than ne class withut the permissin f their instructrs.
It is easy fr prfessrs t knw whether a student has plagiarized. First, there are cmputer prgrams that cmpare students’ papers t large databases f published writing. The prgrams can identify whether students have cpied published writing. Secnd, if English is nt a student’s first language, a prfessr might recgnize a change in vcabulary and writing style. The punishment fr plagiarism can vary. Prfessrs culd simply warn a student nt t d it again, lwer their grade, r they may fail the student in that class. In mre extreme cases, a student may be temprarily banned frm schl.
There are free tls students can use. Zter is a free, pen-surce prgram that helps rganize all the research a student may use. Fr example, it can autmatically create citatins and cmbine them int a list. The Purdue OWL is anther free resurce. Many universities als have writing centers where students can learn the citatin rules. And anther way is t read published papers and pay attentin t hw infrmatin is presented. Students shuld bserve when and hw citatins are used, which can help them learn the rules f citatins.
12．What must students d when using a small part f ed wrks?
A．Have a cnversatin with prfessrs.B．Ask fr permissin frm the authrs.
C．Offer credit t the riginal creatrs.D．Explain the purpse f using them.
13．Hw can prfessrs knw if their students are plagiarizing?
A．By making a specific cmparisn.
B．By recrding the students’ learning experience.
C．By learning the students’ first language.
D．By researching int the database f writing.
14．What des the authr want t stress in the last paragraph?
A．The tips n when citatins are used.
B．The ways f making a citatin safe.
C．The rules f using free resurce.
D．The free resurces n the website.
15．What is the best title f this text?
A．Learning Plagiarism in the Digital Age
B．Cmmenting n Students’ Plagiarism
C．Realizing the Influence f Plagiarism
D．Fllwing Rules t Avid Plagiarism
