甘肃省会宁县第一中学2018-2019学年高一下学期英语期中考试试卷
When high temperatures are around the country, some things also go up. Here are four things expected to rise along with our desire to stay indoors and beat the heat.
⒈ales of goods that keep you cool
Malls are high on the list of places where people often go for free air conditioning outside home in summer. Goods related to keeping cool, like air conditioners, fans or sun care items, are very popular.
⒉
Pests like stink bugs(椿象)grow fast during summer heat waves, and many agriculture experts are expecting a repeat of last year's outbreak that harmed fruit and crops, particularly on the East Coast.
⒊Energy bills
With all those air conditioners and fans working, it makes sense that energy bills will be higher than average. "Not only are people going to have extremely high energy bills for July, it will also put increased stress on power plants, and we're going to see more air pollution because of it," says Angela Fritz.
⒋Violence
Heat waves may cause violence, right? "Not necessarily," says Richard
Larrick, a researcher. He took a unique look at the relationship between violence and heat through baseball. Larrick and his research team examined 57,294 Major League Baseball games taking place between 1962 and 2017 and found that while heat may increase violence, there always has to be a motive." Instead, heat affects a specific form of violence," he said.
A. Pest population
B. Air pollution
C. Rising heat is the expected response in any summer.
D. As more energy is used, air quality problems may occur.
E. More and more people are worried about their expenses.
F. Heat does not directly lead to more violence in general.
G. So it's not a surprise that some sales jump during heat waves.
