6：二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 （课外选材） When computer servers operatea complex program, they can get very hot. Cooling the servers can be costly. Soresearchers asked what would happen if the heat created by the servers could becaptured and used? Data centers of large Internet companies such as Google andMicrosoft have thousands of computer servers. As these servers processinformation, they create large amounts of heat, so they need huge coolingsystems. These systems send the heat into the air. The Dutch company Nerdalizethinks paying for electricity to operate the servers and then paying again tocool them is a waste of energy. So it developed a device called the e-Radiator.It is a computer server that also works as a heating source. Boaz Leupe is thechief executive officer of Nerdalize. He says the e-Radiator saves moneybecause companies don’t have to pay to cool their servers. “The kilowatt（千瓦）hour you are using is usedtwice — once to heat the home and once to compute the client’s task withoutthe cooling overhead.” He says five homeowners in the Netherlands aretesting the heating device in their homes. “We reimburse the electricitythe server uses, and that we can do because of the computer clients on theother side, and, in that way, homeowners actually get heating for free, andcomputer users don’t have to pay for the overhead of the data center.” JanVisser is one of the participants in the year-long experiment. He says theamount of heat produced by the e-Radiator depends on the work being done by thecomputer server. He says it cannot be used as the primary source of heat. Buthe is ready to try it. He says if it provides enough warmth, he will be able touse his home’s heating system less, which will save him money. Nerdalize sayse-Radiators create heat temperatures of up to 55℃.It says the devices could save users up to $440 in heating costs a year. ?1.Why did researchers ask what would happen if the heat created by the serverscould be captured and used?{A; B; C} A.
