A

A building that produces more energy than it uses sounds like science fiction. Yet in the last ten years, several such buildings have appeared in Europe and Asia, and architects believe they will become common.

The idea is simple: reduce the energy a building needs, then produce the rest on site. First, designers cut demand. Thick walls, triple-glazed windows and heavy insulation keep heat in during winter and out during summer. Second, they produce energy. Solar panels cover the roof, and in some buildings small wind turbines stand on the roof edge. Third, they store energy in batteries, so power is available at night.

The result is a building that can run for weeks without drawing power from the city grid. In one office block in Singapore, the extra energy is used to charge electric cars in the basement car park.

Such buildings are expensive to construct — perhaps twenty percent more than ordinary ones. But running costs are low, and in some cities the government pays part of the extra cost. “The question is not whether we can afford to build this way,” says one architect. “It is whether we can afford not to.”

21. What is special about these buildings?

A. They produce more energy than they need.

B. They are built underground.

C. They have no windows.

D. They are made of wood.

22. What is the first step in designing such a building?

A. Reducing energy demand. B. Adding solar panels.

C. Buying batteries. D. Planting trees.

23. What is the disadvantage mentioned?

A. They cannot store energy. B. They are costly to build.

C. They only work in summer. D. They need much water.

B

In 2010, the city library in Memphis had eleven branches, three hundred thousand books and a falling number of visitors. Today it has one central building, a fleet of small vans and a website that serves forty thousand people a month.

The change began when the library director asked a simple question: who is not coming? The answer was clear. People in distant neighbourhoods, people who worked long hours, and people who could not easily leave home. The library responded not by building more branches, but by going to them.

Two vans now travel fixed routes, stopping at schools, markets and old people’s homes. Each van carries about five hundred books, a laptop and a printer. Visitors can borrow books, print documents and get help with online forms — a service that has proved unexpectedly popular with older residents.

The library also loans things that are not books: tools, musical instruments and, in one branch, cake tins. “A library is not a store of books,” the director says. “It is a store of things a community needs.” Some traditional readers complain that shelves are emptier. But visits have risen every year since 2015, and the number of children borrowing books has doubled.

24. What happened to the library before 2010?

A. It closed all branches. B. It had fewer visitors.

C. It moved to a new city. D. It stopped lending books.

25. How did the library reach more people?

A. By building new branches. B. By opening at night.

C. By sending vans to neighbourhoods. D. By charging lower fees.

26. Which service is popular with older residents?
