11、n. I cried through all the movies. Those pictures were stuck in my head."Over the next few years, the youngster convinced her parents to reduce their carbon footprint. Her mother, a world-famous opera singer, stopped flying, even though it severely impacted her career, while

12、 her father became a vegetarian.In 2018, following a record heat wave in Europe and a series of massive forest fires in Sweden, the young girl decided to take her concerns to a national level. She organized a school strike, but the effort failed. However, that did not stop the determined teen from t

13、rying to achieve her goal. From August 20, 2018 to September 9, 2018the day of Sweden's general elections Greta skipped school and spent the days sitting on the pavement outside the parliament building in central Stockholm.“I painted the sign on a piece of wood and, for the flyers, wrote down so

20、 paparazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-te

21、ch devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture”. Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of

22、celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents say the law restricts photo-journalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, its free publicity. But when theyre not in pu

23、blic, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son”.Celebrities have as much

24、 right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities privacy.Oppon

25、ents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out pap

26、arazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication. Opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “Does persistently mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and co

27、uld be used to punish almost any news photographers.The United States needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all. 28. Which of the following will be considered illegal by the n

32、its, but these units use a surprising total of ten percent of all global electricity supply. While less than a third of families globally are so equipped, the most AC-addicted countries are Japan (in 91 percent of families), the US (90 percent) and South Korea(86 percent).New research by the Interna

33、tional Energy Agency (IEA) guesses that the total number of AC units is likely to increase to over 5.6 billion by 2050equal to ten new units being sold every second for more than 30 yearswith sales driven particularly by India, China and Indonesia. This will make the use of air conditioning one of t

34、he worlds largest demands for energy.“Growing electricity demand for air conditioning is one of the most critical blind spots in todays energy debate,” argues Faith Birol, executive director of the IEA. “With rising incomes, air conditioner ownership will skyrocket, especially in the developing worl

35、d. While this will improve daily lives, it is quite necessary that efficiency performance be prioritized.”Birol and the IEA stress the need for new efficiency standards to ensure that consumers are at least buying units that require significantly less power to function, therefore decreasing the tota

36、l energy demand. Variations on the traditional “vapor compression” technology, which has formed the basis for AC units for more than a century, may appear really important. A water-based system was recently developed by researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS), which uses 40 percent

37、 less electricity and produces only one by-product: drinkable water.“Our cooling system can be tailored for all types of weather conditions, from wet climate in the tropics to dry climate in the deserts,” says associate professor Ernest Chua at NUS. “While it can be used for indoor living and commer

38、cial spaces, it can also be easily used to provide air conditioning for blocks of buildings in an energy-efficient manner.” 32.  The author mentions the number of air conditioning units mainly to show their _.A. uneven distribution globally          B. popularity among

Itll be a fundamental system for future air conditioners.C. It seems to be environmentally friendly.D. It appears diff

41、erent from the current technology.35. From what Ernest Chua says, we can infer that the new system _.A. has different effects in different placesB. can be applied to nearly all situationsC. can greatly meet peoples cooling demandD. will be brought into use in the near future阅读 21-23 BCD
