destroy forests.
Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green highrise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by onethird and our water by 50 percent.”
The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(板) which change the sun's energy into electricity,” Dettling explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holowka said, “It's going to be big.”
绿色建筑不仅仅是种点花花草草,不仅仅是一种颜色。真正的绿色建筑应该是节能的、环保的房子。
17. In the second paragraph, the underlined words “the building” most probably refer to ________.
A. an ordinary building
B. an energysaving building
C. a greencolored building D. a building in WashingtonD.C.
答案:A。猜测词义题。所在句意为“绿色建筑意味着减少对地上建筑物的影响。”因此,划线词意为“一般建筑物,普通建筑物”。
