Dwntwn Baltimre is hme t an unusual experiment that seems strange—cling buildings with ice. It’s a service prvided by Velia Energy. Velia desn’t run big cal r nuclear pwer plants—instead, it tries t deliver “efficiency”—basically getting mre ut f the electricity netwrk.
Velia des this with a cncept called“district cling”, which sends water chilled by ice at a central plant ut t several nearby buildings. A nearly 10-mile circuit f cling pipes cnnects the dwntwn buildings, including the cnventin center, gvernment buildings and htels, t a brick building with tw dmes (穹顶) abut 30-feet high next t it.
Inside the dmes are tanks filled with water. A lt f tubes run thrugh the water tank carrying chilled glycl, a fluid (液体) that freezes at a very lw temperature. This prcess runs at night, and ice frms arund the tubes.
“During the day, when we are using the ice t prduce cling fr custmers, we run water ver the utside f the ice, melt it and actually prvide cl water ut t the distributin system,” says Jhn Gibsn, a vice president at Velia Energy.
Why ice? The ice essentially stres the cheaper energy that’s available at night.
“It allws yu t make ice at night, when electrical demand is lwer and csts are lwer, and then melt that ice during the day t supplement yur mechanical refrigeratin,” Gibsn says. The custmers dn’t need t buy their wn refrigeratin units, s they save abut 10 percent n cling csts by using Velia’s district set-up.
Using nighttime electricity als takes the heat ff the electricity netwrk. By using ice, Velia desn’t need t use as much electricity during the days.
Gibsn als says it’s nt cheap t build all f the pipes and pumps fr a district cling system, but it saves mney in the lng run, especially if existing undergrund infrastructure (基础设施) can be used.
32. What des the underlined wrd “chilled” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Purified. B. Biled up. C. Frzen. D. Cl ed dwn.
33. Why is ice made at night?
A. It is energy-saving and ecnmical.
B. It reduces the burden f refrigeratin units.
C. Buildings need less cling.
D. Cheaper water is available.
34. What is the text mainly abut?
A. Unusual findings. B. An efficient netwrk.
C. A unique cling system. D. Velia’s mechanical refrigeratin.
35. Where is this text mst likely frm?
A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A nvel. D. A brchure.

Mind mapping is a great way t plan ut prjects, ideas and plans. 36 Here are the fur steps f mind mapping and hw yu can apply it in yur life.
Befre yu start, think abut what it is that yur mind map is abut. If we take the example f presenting t an audience, ask yurself, “What exactly d I want t tell my audience?” and “What d I want them t leave knwing?” 37 Once yu knw yur questin, write that dwn in the middle f the page.
38 Dn’t try and edit yurself. N matter hw crazy, wild, r stupid smething may seem at first, get it dwn nt yur mind map. Yu can remve ideas later. Editing yurself at an early stage will nt prduce yur best ideas.
After yur initial brainstrm, giving yurself a few days will prduce mre ideas and expand thers.

After this sessin, yu will have a lt f ideas, answers, and steps.
The next stage is where yu make small changes abut these ideas and start t structure the next steps. Yu nw need t decide in what rder yu will mve frward. Once yu have all yur ideas and pints numbered, yu can then mve thse t yur t-d list manager and place them in the right rder. Yu may find that as yu begin wrking n yur prject, yu change yur rder rund. 40
A. Yu will find yu have a lt mre ideas t add.
B. It encurages yu t g deeper with yur ideas.
C. The clearer yur questin, the better answers yu will get.
D. Once yu have yur questin written dwn, let yurself g.
E. Yur brain is likely t give yu unrealistic r unclear answers.
F. But yu will at least have a place t start by having an initial rder.
G. It gives yu a visual means t brainstrm yur ideas and the fundatins f a structure.

The seller behind the stand nticed the yung girl and asked, “Hey, girl, yu want t have the ndles?” “Oh, yes, but I dn’t have mney n me,” she replied.
“That’s OK. I’ll treat yu tday,” said the man, “Cme n in.” The seller served her a bwl f ndles, the smell s attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What’s up?” asked the man kindly. “Nthing. Actually I was just tuched by yur kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped away her tears. “Even a stranger n the street will give me a bwl f ndles, while my mther drve me ut f the huse. She shwed n care fr me. She is s cruel cmpared t a stranger!” Hearing the wrds, the seller smiled, “Oh, my Gd, girl, d yu really think s? I nly gave yu a bwl f ndles and yu thanked me a lt. But it is yur mther wh has raised yu since yu were a baby. Can yu number the times she cked fr yu? Have yu expressed yur gratitude t her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shck; she remembered her mther’s familiar face and weather-beaten hands. “Why didn’t I think f that? A bwl f ndles frm a stranger made me feel grateful. Why haven’t I thanked my mum fr what she has dne fr me?” Jenny made up her mind t g hme and make an aplgy t her mther fr her rudeness as sn as she arrived hme.

Dear Mike,
I was srry t hear yu were criticized by the teacher fr using AI t finish hmewrk, and I’d like t share my thughts n this and give yu sme advice.
AI is indeed a helpful tl, but relying n it t d hmewrk directly isn’t wise. It stps yu frm thinking independently and prevents yu frm gaining real knwledge and skills. Instead, yu can use it as a learning aid—like getting inspiratin fr writing r checking grammar mistakes after yu finish yur wrk.
I hpe this advice wrks fr yu. Lking frward t yur reply.
Best regards,

Para 1: Appraching the drway, Jenny tk a deep breath. Tired and sad, she sat dwn in frnt f the huse. Where might my mther be?” she wndered. “Is she really s angry with me that she desn’t want t shw any care fr me?” Again, the scene f the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness t her mther, and she just realized that all the sclding frm her mther was due t the fact that her mther really cared a lt abut her. Tears rlled dwn her cheeks.
Para 2: A gentle tuch n her hair called her mind back. She raised her head t see the familiar face and the wrried eyes. “Here yu cme! I’ve been lking fr yu” came the tired vice. Jenny culdn’t help but thrw herself int her mther’s arms. “I’m srry and thank yu fr all yu have dne fr me.” She expressed the sincere aplgy and the great gratitude. Then she felt the hug tightened.
