D.1,203BFour years ago, Chris Nagele did what many other technology executives have done before he moved his team into an open concept office.His staff had been exclusively working from home, but he wanted everyone to be together, to bond and collaborate more easily
11、. It quickly became clear, though, that Nagele had made a huge mistake. Everyone was distracted, productivity suffered and the nine employees were unhappy, not to mention Nagele himself.In April 2015, about three years after moving into the open office, Nagele moved the company into a 10,000-square
12、foot office where everyone now has their own space complete with closing doors.Numerous companies have embraced the open office about 70% of US offices are open concept and by most accounts, very few have moved back into traditional spaces with offices and doors. But research that were 15% less prod
13、uctive, we have immense trouble concentrating and were twice as likely to get sick in open working spaces, has contributed to a growing backlash against open offices.Since moving, Nagele himself has heard from others in technology who say they long for the closed office lifestyle. Its unlikely that
14、the open office concept will go away anytime soon, but some companies are following Nageles example and making a return to private spaces.Theres one big reason wed all love a space with four walls and a door that shuts: focus. The truth is, we cant multitask and small distractions can cause us to lo
15、se focus for upwards of 20 minutes.Whats more, certain open spaces can negatively impact our memory. We retain more information when we sit in one spot, says Sally Augustin, an environmental and design psychologist in La Grange Park, Illinois. Its not so obvious to us each day, but we offload memori
16、es often little details into our surroundings, she says.Beside the cheaper cost, one main argument for the open workspace is that it increases collaboration. However, its well documented that we rarely brainstorm brilliant ideas when were just shooting the breeze in a crowd.24. What does the writer
17、imply according to Paragraph 2:A. Nagele felt delighted with open concept officeB. Nagele felt unsatisfied with open concept officeC. Nagele felt puzzled about open concept officeD. Nagele felt curious about open concept office25. What does the underlined words “have embraced” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.

20、r choices. As humankind faces the threat of global warming, we are becoming increasingly aware that our every indulgence(享受 ) will leave its mark on the environment. This is particularly true of the food we put in our mouths.Farming, production in factories and transport of goods are all largely pow
21、ered by the burning of fossil fuels, generating greenhouse gases. Scientists measure this impact as a “carbon footprint”, commonly expressed as the volume of carbon dioxide produced per 100g serving of food.With this, it is possible to create a food pyramid based on the harm each snack and delicacy(
22、美味) does to the environment. Meat and dairy products lie at the bottom, causing the greatest damage, while fruit and vegetables are the most environmentally friendly at the top. Grain-based foods like bread and noodles, and candies lie roughly in the middle.This approach, however, doesnt consider ho
23、w much energy our bodies get from those foods. You need to eat a far greater weight of lettuce(生菜) to get the same number of calories as a piece of bacon, for instance-with one study finding that it would release three times as many greenhouses to provide the same nutritional energy. Processed veget
24、ables, or those imported from distant farms, may fare even worse.In a paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Adam Drewnowski tried to take this into account by estimating(估计) the carbon emissions for every 100calories of different foods.Viewed in this way, the pyramid turns upside down
25、. Now, cake or chocolate has a carbon footprint that is about a tenth of the environmental impact of tinned or frozen vegetables, for instance. Meat tends to produce about half the carbon emissions of eggs. This shouldnt be seen as a green card to indulge your sweet tooth-lots of evidence shows the
26、excessive consumption of sugar leads to all kinds of health problems, including diabetes and heart disease. And local fresh vegetables will still be the best option for the environment and your health.28.What can we learn according to the theory of “carbon footprint”?A. Meat does the greatest harm来源

29、Whats the writers purpose of the text?A. To tell readers a factB. To explain a theoryC. To offer a suggestionD. To analyze a phenomenonDThe term “healthy obesity” has gained value over the past 15 years, but scientists have recently questioned its very existence. “Our new findings suggest that healt
30、h measures may be necessary for all obese（肥胖的）individuals, even those previously considered to be metabolically（代谢的）healthy, “says study first author Mikael, “Since obesity is the major driver changing gene expression in fat cells, we should continue to focus on preventing obesity.”Obesity has been
31、a global problem, affecting approximately 600 million people worldwide and increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and so on. But in the 1970s and 80s, experts began to question the extent to which obesity increases the risk for these disorders. Later studies in the late 90s and early
32、2000s showed that some obese people show a relatively healthy life.However, there are no accepted measures for measuring metabolically healthy obesity, and whether or not such a thing exists is now up for discussion. “Our study suggests that the idea of metabolically healthy obesity may be more diff
33、icult than thought,” Mikael says, “There doesnt appear to be a clear line that separates obese subjects with high or low insulin（胰岛素） sensitivity, indicating that obesity is the major driver explaining the changes in gene expression.” One limitation of the study is that it examined gene expression o
34、nly in white fat cells, not other types. Moreover, all of the obese subjects were scheduled to experience obesity operations, so the findings may only apply to people with severe obesity. In future research, Mikael and his group will track the study patients after surgery to determine whether weight
35、 loss normalizes gene expression responses. They will also look for specific genes linked to improved metabolic health in these people.In the meantime, the study has an important take-home message. “Obese people may not be as metabolically healthy as previously believed,” Ryden says.32. What does th
36、e underlined phrase “healthy obesity” mean?A. It can be healthy with obesity. B. Obesity is necessary to be healthy.C. Unhealthy people have no obesity.D. Health has something to do with obesity.33. What leads to healthy obesity failing to prove true?A. Lack of related patients. B. Lack of genetic e

People should accept obesity in a way.C. People should keep a balanced weight.D. People should avoid obesity operations.35. Which can best des
