But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this tho
73、ught came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer. He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up. The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipe
74、s. Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt roads. Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes. At a depth of 1
75、00 metres lies a natural aquifer(含水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built. The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground water, before returning to the surface through another pipe. The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working
76、 system is changed slightly. Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer. This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up. After performing that task, it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice

78、the diving pipes used?A.To absorb heat from the sun.B.To store heat for future use.C.To turn solar energy into heat energy.D.To carry heat down below the surface.34.What can we know from the last paragraph? A.Some pipes have to be rearranged in winter.B.The system can do more than warming up the bui
79、lding.C.The exchangers will pick up heat from the street surface.D.Less heat may be collected in winter than in summer.35.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A.What shall we do if the system goes wrong.B.What shall we do if there are no asphalt roads.C.How the system co
