(四)录音中有一篇短文和五个问题，听短文和问题两遍，然后从每小题A、B、C中选出能回答每个问题的正确答案。
These days, green buildings mean more than just the color
of the paint. They can also mean environmentally friendly houses, factories,
and offices.
The green building means “making an effort of a building to
the land less”. Green buildings can lower energy and water use. Also, the
buildings are often near bus stops, the underground, and other places, so that
people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment,
because cars use lots of oil and cause pollution. Green buildings don’t destroy
the forest, either.
On the surface of the green building, there are solar
panels. The solar panels take in the sun’s energy and change it into
electricity. The lights in the green building can be off by themselves when
people leave the rooms. The building has lots of windows. This makes people use
the sun for light instead of house lights during the day. Water can be reused
in the green building. The building takes water from the rains, and uses it in
the toilets.
Now, not everyone lives in the green building. But we can
make ordinary homes greener. We can turn off the tap when we’re not using it
and turn off lights when we’re not in the rooms.
We hope that green buildings will
become common in the future, because they are good for the environment.
