21、building in solar panels. In 2004, the completed CIS tower became Europes largest29of vertical solar panels. A vertical solar project on such a large30has never been repeated since.Covering a skyscraper with solar panels had never been done before, and the CIS tower was chosen as one of the 10 best

22、green energy projects.

26、o Pay to Do Their HomeworkA) Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework, take quizzes, and turn in homework. As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit to their finances thats replacingand sometimes joiningexpensive textbooks: p

27、ricey online access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B) The codeswhich typically range in price from $ 80 to $ 155 per coursegive students online access to systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. These companies, which long reaped b

28、ig profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent the future of the industry.C) But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念) of the textbook business, and

29、 are even harder for students to opt out of. While they could once buy second-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D) When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断), a new way to lock student

30、s around this system, said Ethan Senack, the higher education advocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. Rather than $250 (for a print textbook) youre paying $ 120, said Senack. But because its all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and

31、 because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out.E) Sarina Harpet, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma when she first started college in 2015pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework. She told BuzzFeed News that h

32、er freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their grades. But the code to access the program cost $ 120a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, and had rent day approachi

33、ng.F) She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $ 150- $ 200, to pay for the code. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. Its a balancing act, she said. Can I really afford these access codes now? She didnt hand in her first two assignments for

34、 chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G) The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, theyre the future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March that its digital content sales exc

35、eeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% of its $ 140 million revenue in 2015 was derived from digital products.H) A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that digital materials are less expensive and a good investment that offer new features, like audio texts, perso

36、nalized knowledge checks and expert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks, the company added.

37、era of the printed textbook is now over.I) The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. These digital products arent just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features, David Anderson, the executive director of higher education

40、ooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum. The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like Im giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most.K) A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that s

41、he normally spends $ 500-$ 600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didnt require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to turn in homework.

42、t back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $ 30 - $ 50 and that helps to pay for your new semesters books. With an access code, youre out of that money. L) Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News that its ridiculous that after pa
