试题内容：
(2012湛江)完形填空When we think of green buildings,we tend
to think of new ones-the kind of modern,solar-paneled masterpieces that make
the covers of architecture magazines．
But the US has more than 100 million
existing homes,and it would be incredibly 1 to tear them all down and
2 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 3 carbon emissions （排放） from
a（an）__4_energy-efficient（节能）home to make up for the 5 lost by
destroying an old one．
So in the broadest sense,the greenest home is the one
that has already been built．But at the same time,6 half of US carbon
emissions come from heating,cooling and powering our 7 offices and other
buildings．"You can't deal with climate 8 without dealing with existing
buildings," says Richard Moe,the president of the National Trust．
With some
exceptions,the oldest homes tend to be the 9 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 10 over time and
let in more outside 11 .
12 ,there are a vast number of
relatively simple changes that can green older homes,from 13 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 14 property owners from rising
power 15 .

Answer 1

当我们想到绿色建筑,我们倾向于那些可以当杂志封面的建筑,如那些新的,现代的或装有太阳能嵌板的杰作.但美国现有100多万栋房屋,将他们全部拆除并重建成更环保的房屋是十分浪费的.因有大量的能源和资源投入这些房屋的建设,以一栋新的环保房屋所能减少的碳排放量,平均需要65年的时间才能弥补摧毁一栋旧房屋所损失的资源.因此,在最广泛的意义上,最环保的房子是一栋已经建成的房子.但与此同时,美国近一半的碳排放量来自于我们家庭、办公室和其他建筑的暖气,冷气和供电.
“你不能只应对气候变化而不对现有建筑有所处理”,理查德萌,国家信托基金的总裁道.
除了一些特例,最古老的房屋往往是最不节能的.1939年前所建造的房屋比2000年后建成的房屋每平方英尺大约多使用50％的能源,主要是由于微小的裂缝和缺口随着时间扩大,让更多外面的空气渗入房屋.而幸运的是,有许多简单的方法可以绿化一栋老房屋,从历史悠久如林肯小屋到自己的战后建成的房屋.有效升级不仅仅可以拯救地球,还可以帮助不让业主的电费上升.
