Air conditioning is the use of mechanical systems to 【B1】______ that control in such places【B2】______homes, offices, theaters, institutions, factories, airplanes, and automobiles.

    Tests have 【B5】______ that people generally feel best 【B6】______ certain temperature, humidity, and air velocity conditions. Temperatures can 【B7】______ from 21.5°C with 70 percent relative humidity to 28 °C with 30 percent relative humidity. Relative humidity is the 【B8】______ of moisture in the air 【B9】______ a specific temperature compared【B10】______the amount it could hold at that temperature.【B11】______air velocities range from 4.5 to 10.5 meters per minute. It is also desirable that an air conditioner【B12】______dust, pollen, smoke, and odors from the air.
    In many industrial environments, air conditioning is essential. Most print shops, for example, 【B13】______constant humidity in order to control paper shrinkage and【B14】______the【B15】______operation in some processes.
    Libraries, especially ones with rare books, require air control to【B16】______the physical quality of their collections. Bakeries and the tobacco and cotton industries require high humidity【B17】______their products, and perishables such as fruits must be stored in cool, dry rooms. Some electronic components, drugs, and chemicals must be manufactured【B18】______the air is as free as possible【B19】______dust and other particles. Air conditioning is【B20】______in hospitals, especially in operating rooms.
【B8】
选项 A、quality
B、sum
C、amount
D、number
答案C
解析 考查名词辨析。quality意为“质量”；sum意为“总计，总和”；amount一般用于不可数名词，如：a substantial amount of money；number一般仅仅用于可数名词，如：a large number of mistakes。根据语境可知，此处修饰的是不可数名词，表示的是“数量”故C．amount为正确答案。
