_____3.Catherine: Building a community without private cars

_____4.Elizabeth: Building houses with recycled materials and energy-efficiency systems

_____5.Levin: Developing a new type of urban car which burns less gas

     A                                          B

Vauban

We know cars are terrible polluters, but would you give yours up? Vauban, a community in southwestern Germany, did just that, and its 5,000 citizens are doing fine. Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths.  When people must drive, they can turn to car-sharing clubs.  “All the citizens had the chance to plan their own city,” says Andreas Delleke, an energy expert, “and it's just how we wanted it to be.”    Denmark

During the period of gas shortage in the early 70s, Denmark decided to become self-sufficient ( 自足). So they began a few projects making smart investments along the way.

On the island of Samsoe, local families, fishermen and farmers bought wind turbines (渦輪機) to produce their own energy. Within seven years these turbines were completely paid for. And can you believe just one of wind turbines produces enough electricity for 600 households?

Trey Parker and Matt Stone

Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.

“I think more and more today, people are willing to make a statement about the Earth and how they want to protect it,” Michael Rath, home designer and builder says. "For high-end homes in this valley, this is entirely consistent with what they cost." P-NUT

Who doesn't love the name P-NUT—short for Personal-Neo Urban Transport? It's Honda's latest attempt to create a tiny footprint for a new urban vehicle.

This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The  11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.

“The P-NUT concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle designed for the city lifestyle,” said  Dave Marek, a Honda design Spokesman.

Israel Company

Is it possible that annoying rush hour traffic could become a source of renewable energy?

Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 發電機 ) under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity. A trial process has been used on a smaller scale, in dance clubs for instance, where the pounding feet of dancers light up the floor.

"We can produce electricity anywhere there is a busy road using energy that normally goes to waste," said Uri Amit, chairman of Israel's Technion Institute  of Technology.               Coffee

Coffee. Some of us can't start our day without it, and we don't mind waiting 10 minutes in line for it.

Here is the most effective tip to make you a superstar in environment protection.

Get a coffee machine for your home or office, or persuade your company into buying one.  (Tell them it will improve productivity. ) Skip the coffee line on the way to work and make something that is better-tasting and much better for your wallet.

Plus, you won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away. Better yet, use your favorite travel mug.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

1.F

2.E

3.A

4.C

5.D

【解析】

試題分析：

1.F Peter想通過DIY的方法來減少塑料和問題廢物對環境的影響。F項中, you won't need those plastic cups or carrying cases that just get thrown away.建議我們不要使用這些塑料的杯子。故F項符合。

2.E Helen想利用繁忙的交通來生產電。E項中Israel's Technion Institute of Technology claims that if we placed special generators ( 發電機 ) under roads, railways, and runways—we could harvest enough energy to mass-produce electricity.說明正好符合這一小題。

3.A Catherine想建設一個沒有汽車的社區。A項中Most streets are free of vehicles, and there are generous green spaces and good public-transport links, including fast buses and bicycle paths. 所提及的內容與4.恰好是吻合的。

5.C Elizabeth想使用可回收的材料和節能體系來建房子。C項中的Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park, have built a sustainable castle with outer siding and inner flooring of recycled wood, recycled carpeting, high-efficiency boiler systems.的內容恰好符合她的研究方向。

6.D Levin想開發一種城市里使用的節能的汽車。D項中This little P-NUT is unique. With a central driving position, the car is designed to move in tight settings. The  11-foot micro car will seat three with two rear-seat passengers behind the driver.說明這兩者的理念是一致的。
