24、 Since 2005, office workers in Japan have been allowed to wear T-shirts and shorts to work, instead of business suits and ties. Why? The answer is simple. The government is trying to reduce the use of air conditioners.
Although air conditioners make our lives easier in hot weather, they can be bad for the environment. The coolers use a great deal of electricity to function and add to the effects of global warming.
But it is a vicious (恶性的) cycle. As temperatures rise, there will be more need for air conditioning.
Pawel Wargocki, an expert at the Technical University of Denmark, told The New York Times: “The air conditioning causes a huge problem to global climate and energy use.” He added, “More and more air conditioners are used. It’s very dangerous.”
We can’t live with air conditioning. But the thing is, we can’t live without it either. Scientific studies have shown that if indoor temperatures are high in hot weather, people will suffer from certain health problems and have a lower productivity.
For example, when air conditioners were turned down in Japanese offices, the room temperature rose to 28 or higher. As a result, workers started getting headaches, and feeling sleepy.
They couldn’t give all their attention to work and their productivity dropped by 2 percent, which means they did 30 minutes less work each day, according to Shinichi Tanabe, a professor of architecture at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan.
So the best way to balance our comfort with environmental awareness is to change our expectations. Most of the time, it’s not that the room is too hot, but that we are used to it being cooler.
“The temperature many Americans find most comfortable indoors in summer —21C— feels uncomfortable to most Europeans, who find it too cold.” said Michael Sivak, professor at a University of Michigan, US. He said it is because Europeans care more about the environment and are willing to accept a bit more heat in summer.
Also, we can try to change our daily behavior. Open the windows to let air in, for example. Turning on the air conditioner is not the only way to make us feel comfortable.
【1】What did the Japanese government do to reduce the use of air conditioners?
A. To allow the workers to wear T-shirts to work.
B. To stop the workers from using air conditioners.
C. To let people accept a bit more heat in summer.
D. To ask people to open windows to let air in.
【2】The writer probably agrees that ______.
A. most people will be sick without air conditioners
B. global warming is mainly caused by air conditioners
C. people have to be used to living without air conditioners
D. we should change our expectations to protect environment
【3】We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. Japanese office workers are less productive in summer
B. Americans care less about environment than Europeans
C. People in Denmark believe air conditioners are dangerous
D. Europeans accept a bit cooler than Americans in summer
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Protect Environment: Is it time to change business suits?
B. Protect Environment: Is it time to focus on temperature?
C. Protect Environment: Shall we change our expectations?
D. Protect Environment: Shall we stop using air conditioners?
25、 Research has already suggested that opening a book may help improve brain function and reduce stress. Now, a team led by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University is looking into the benefits of growing up around a book⁃filled environment; the researchers' new study suggests that homes with libraries can arm children with skills that last well into adulthood.
The study looked at data from 160 000 adults from 31 countries, including the United States, Australia, Turkey and Chile. Participants (参与者) filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies, which measures proficiency (水平) in three areas: literacy (读写能力), numeracy and information communication technology. People, 25 to 65 years old, were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were 16 years old. The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of “book⁃oriented socialization.” Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from“10 or less” to “more than 500.”
The surveys, which were taken between 2011 and 2015, showed that the average (平均的) number of books in participants' childhood homes was 115, but that number varied widely from country to country. The average library size in Norway was 212 books, for example; in Turkey, it was 27. In all, however, it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey.
The effects were most marked when it came to literacy. Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels. Being surrounded by 80 books raised the levels to average, and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about 350 books,at which point the literacy rates leveled off. The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy; the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests, but skills did improve with increased numbers of books.
So, what does the new study tell us? Take, for example, an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home, but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library, but only had nine years of schooling. The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same. “So, literacy⁃wise, bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,” the study authors write.
Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to ( 沉浸在) books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life, but the study offers further evidence to suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind. And so home library size might be important because, as the researchers note, “children emulate (模仿) parents who read.”
【1】The second paragraph is mainly about .
A.what the study found out
B.how the study was carried out
C.who were invited to the research
D.why the researchers did the study
【2】The phrase “leveled off” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A.backed to average B.started falling
C.continued to grow D.stopped rising
【3】The example in Paragraph 5 shows .
A.the disadvantage of having little school education
B.the effect of having a home library in childhood
C.the necessity of raising people's literacy level
D.the importance of getting a university degree
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills.
B.Adults benefit more from a home library than children.
C.Home library size has little to do with numeracy level.
D.Parents who love reading benefit children a lot.
26、 The mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned (禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.

27、The summer vacation is over. It’s true that time always flies fast. During the vacation, the weather was hot and I could not do much work, but I lived happily.
