“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.“_5_ Instead，heat affects a specific form of violence，” he said.AAir pollutionBPest populationCRising heat is the expected response in any summer.DHeat does not directly lead to more violence in general.EMore and more people are worried about their expenses.FAs more energy is used，air quality problems may occur.GSo its not a surprise that some sales jump during heat waves.【解题导语】本文介绍了伴随高温天气会出现的一些事件。1G空前一句提到购物中心是夏天人们外出经常去的地方之一，空后一句提到与制冷有关的商品，如空调、风扇等都很受欢迎，结合本段小标题可知，G项“因此一些(制冷商品的)销售量在酷暑期猛增就不足为奇了”与此处匹配。2B根据空处所在位置可知，空处为本段小标题。根据空后的“Pests like stink bugs(椿象)grow fast during summer heat waves”可知，本段主要是说害虫的数量在酷暑期也会快速增长，故B项与此处匹配。3E根据段落小标题Energy bills可知，本段和费用有关，空后又提到(电)风扇和空调的运行会使能源费用高于平均水平，故空处应讲人们对高温天气下使用这些电器的花费的担忧，所以E项符合语境。4F上文提到能源费用增加，下文提到由此会造成更多的空气污染。由此可推知，F项“随着更多的能源被消耗，空气质量问题可能会出现”与此处匹配。5D根据空后一句可知，高温影响一种特定形式的暴力，且由“Instead”可知，空处与下文呈转折关系，再结合上文的“Not necessarily”可知，D项“总的来说，高温不会直接导致更多的暴力”与此处匹配。
