英語[D] 次の英文の内容に関して、No. 14 と No.15 は、質問に対する答えとして最も適切なものを、A,B,C,D の中から 1 つ選び、記号で答えなさい。また、No. 16 から No. 18 は、質問に英語で答えなさい。

No. 14 According to the article about heatwaves, which of the following is NOT true?
A) Heatwaves occur much more frequently than in the past.
B) 2006 was the warmest year in the past 15 years.
C) More than 3,000 people died of heat.
D) The Indian government has a responsibility to deal with heatwaves.

Heatwaves in India
Heatwaves in India have become more frequent, longer and more powerful,
making it difficult for people to live comfortably.
Twelve of the country’s warmest 15 years have been since 2006, with deaths
from the heat increasing since the 1950s to over 3,000 people. Addressing such natural
disasters, including heatwaves, requires a strong response by the Indian government.
Heatwaves occur when the Indian Plains area has temperatures over 40 degrees
Celsius and the Indian Hills go over 30 degrees Celsius. These days usually occur in
May and June, but they are now happening in March — with March 2022’s heat wave
(experienced by over 50 percent of Indian states) breaking 100-year-old records.
Heatwaves have a negative effect on people and cause *dehydration, exhaustionand heat-strokes. People in India who live in large cities and tall buildings have big
problems because heat can make the buildings too hot to live in. People using air
conditioning pay a lot of money for energy costs.
India is a country where two thirds of people live in poverty. Therefore, it is hardfor many people to find places to stay when it’s too hot outside. Old people often get sickbecause they can’t find a place to cool off. Many schools in India do not have airconditioning. This makes the classrooms very hot, and it is difficult for students to focus
and learn. Many times schools must close during a heatwave. This means students muststay home from school and miss a chance at education.
Farming is an important part of India’s economy and culture. But heatwaves cancause problems for farmers. When there isn’t much rain and a heatwave comes, manyof the crops growing are destroyed. This causes a shortage of food for many areas. Pricesfor food also go up, which makes it hard for poorer people to buy food for them and theirfamily.
* dehydration: the process of losing or removing water or moistureNo. 15 Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the article?
A) The Indian government is spending money to help children.
B) Old people are likely to be affected by heatwaves.
C) Heatwaves are coming earlier than usual.
D) Hot weather can be bad for farming.
No. 16 Write one factor causing heatwaves in India.
No. 17 According to the article, what are some problems with living in tall buildings?
No. 18 Why do students in India often miss an opportunity to receive education?
