When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones—the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the U. S. has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be【S1】______ wasteful to tear them all down and 【S2】______ them with greener versions. An enormous amount of energy and resources went into the construction of those houses. And it would take an average of 65 years for the 【S3】______ carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest 【S4】______ , the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and 【S5】______ our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can’t deal with climate change without dealing with the existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.
With some【S6】______ , the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient-. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that 【S7】______ over time and let in more outside air.
Fortunately, there are a 【S8】______ number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from 【S9】______ ones like Lincoln’s Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades(升级) can save more than just the earth; they can help 【S10】______ property owners from rising power costs.
A) accommodations B) clumsy C) doubtfully D) exceptions
E) expand F) historic G) incredibly H) powering
I) protect J) reduced K) replace L) sense
M) shifted N) supplying O) vast [br] 【S2】
选项
答案
K
解析
动词。根据原文这里应该选择一个动词。这个空格与前面的空格相呼应。But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes,and it would be incredibly wasteful to tear them all down and them with greener versions.(但是全美国现存房屋有一亿多座.如果要把这些都拆掉______成更为环保的房子实在非常浪费。)前面说到要把现存房屋拆掉,后面跟着“更环保的房子”,所以很显然应该选择动词replace"替换”,而且replace和后面的介词with搭配。其他选项expand“扩展”,protect“保护”都不符合题意。
