5 . As the planet gets hotter, the need for cool living environments is becoming more urgent. But air conditioning is not always recommended for use since units produce massive greenhouse gases and use lots of energy. Now, researchers have found in a new study an inexpensive, sustainable choice to replace mechanical cooling with refrigerants (制冷剂) in hot and dry climates, and a way to mitigate the dangers of heat waves during electricity blackouts.

The researchers set out to answer how to achieve a new benchmark (基准) for passive cooling inside naturally conditioned buildings in hot climates such as Southern California. They examined the use of roof materials that radiate (辐射) heat into the cold universe, even under direct sunlight, and how to connect them with temperature-driven air exchanges (that is, air can enter buildings and circulate freely). These cool radiator materials and coatings are often used to stop roofs overheating. Researchers have also used them to improve heat rejection from coolers. But there is untapped potential for mixing them with architectural design more fully, so they can not only reject indoor heat in a passive way, but also drive regular and healthy air changes.

“We found we could keep air temperatures several degrees below the ordinary temperature, and several degrees more below the reference ‘gold standard’ for passive cooling,” said Remy Fortin, lead author and PhD candidate at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture. “We did this without abandoning a healthy airing.” This was never a piece of cake, considering air exchanges are a source of heat when the aim is to keep a room cooler than the outside.

The researchers hope the findings will be used to positively impact communities suffering from dangerous climate heating and heat waves. “We hope that materials scientists, architects, and engineers will be interested in these results, and that our work will inspire more thorough thinking about how to connect breakthroughs in radiative cooling materials with simple but effective architectural solutions,” said Salmaan Craig, main investigator for the project and assistant professor at the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture.

8 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词，或括号内单词的正确形式。

Ice and snow warm up winter tourism in Northeast China. Lately, the popularity of ice and snow tourism in Northeast China     1    (explode). Major hot springs resorts in Harbin     2    (crowd)with traffic jams comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush and travelers from the south of China make up a large part of the tourism crowd.

How do you tell the southerners     3     northerners? Southern Chinese people can be summarized in four characteristics: a light-colored down jacket, a lovely small hat, a suitcase in hand and     4    (shy)in public bath houses.

Southerners are less prepared for the cold. Some individuals online are providing practical suggestions for these southerners, stressing the need for clothing that     5    (protect)them from the freezing outdoor temperatures while ensuring they don’t sweat     6    (heavy)indoors.

In order to promote travel for tourists, Harbin has extended the operating     7    (hour)of buses and subways. According to     8    announcement from the Harbin government, the ice and snow season in Harbin will continue until the end of March 2024. For travelers     9    (try)to avoid peak periods, it’s advisable to plan visits after New Year’s Day and Spring Festival,     10    tourist traffic is at its peak.

9 . Born from the accessibility of mass air travel, modern international tourism has been popularized as “holiday-making” in regions that offer comparative advantages of sand, sun and sea. Travel is often portrayed (描绘成) as a tool for personal growth and tourism as an economic motor for destination countries and cities. There is a tendency to assume that tourism is good for everyone involved.

Today the big bang of tourism drives over 1.2 billion tourists across international borders annually. Many popular places are literally being loved to death. Recent protests in ports of call like Venice and Barcelona against disturbances created by cruise ships show the unfortunate consequences of emphasizing quantity over quality in tourism.

Uncontrolled tourism development has become a primary driver of social and environmental disruption (破坏，混乱). Tourism studies provide much documentation of the many negative social impacts of tourism and resulting resentment (怨恨) that local populations direct toward visitors.

Resentment toward tourists typically develops in mature, heavily visited destinations. Protests in heavily visited destinations suggest that traditional tourism has overstayed its welcome.

Residents often become frustrated when the benefits of tourism are not felt locally. Although it can generate foreign exchange, income and employment, there’s no guarantee that multinational hotel chains will allocate (分配) these benefits equitably among local communities.

On the contrary, when people stay at large resorts or on cruise ships, they make most of their purchases there, leaving local communities little opportunity to benefit from tourist spending. These forms of tourism widen economic and political gaps between haves and have-nots at local destinations.

In recent decades, local residents in destination communities also have found themselves negotiating new cultural boundaries, class dynamics, service industry roles and lifestyle transformations. For example, data show that tourism activity corresponds to increased social problems as local residents adopt the behaviors of tourists.

What does all this mean for the everyday traveler?

First, all tourists should make every effort to honor their hosts and respect local conditions. This means being prepared to adapt to local customs and norms, rather than expecting local conditions to adapt to travelers.

Second, tourism is a market-based activity and works best when consumers reward better performers. In the information age, there’s little excuse for travelers being uninformed about where their vacation money goes and who it enriches.

Informed travelers also are better able to distinguish between multinational companies and local entrepreneurs whose businesses provide direct social, environmental, and economic benefits for local residents. Such businesses are in love with the destination and are therefore deserving of market reward. In the long run, being a responsible traveler means ensuring net positive impacts for local people and environments. With the information available at our fingertips, there has never been more opportunity to do so.

1. What is the popular assumption about international tourism?

A．Its benefits may compensate for the adverse environmental consequences.

A．They fall victim to social conflicts and environmental disturbances.

3. How does the author say local residents in destination communities respond to tourism activity?

A．They attempt to adapt to it.	B．They readily adopt new lifestyles.
C．They immerse tourists in their culture.	D．They try to upgrade their business models.

4. What can tourists do to play a positive role in the tourist destinations?

A．Show interest in local customs and lifestyles.

B．Seek possibilities to invest in local companies.

C．Use the services provided by local businesses.

D．Give favorable comments about their services.
