Behavioral genetics has made important 49 to the biological revolution, providing in formation about the extent to which biology influences mind, brain and behavior.

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 (47)_________wasteful to tear them all down and (48)______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 (49)_________carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest (50)_____________, the greatest 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 (51)_______our homes, offices, and other buildings. “you can’t deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings,”says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.
With some (52)________, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. House 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 (53)________ over time and let in more outside air.
Fortunately, there are a (54)________ number of relatively simple changes that can green older home,
from (55)___________ones like Lincoln’s Cottage to your own postwar home. And efficiency upgrades can save more than just the earth.; they can help
六级新题型(56)____________property owners from rising power costs.
A ) accommodations B) clumsy C) doubtfully D) exceptions E) expand F) historic G) incredibly H) powering I) project J) reduced K)replace L) sense
M) shifted N) supplying O) vast
47.需要副词来修饰形容词wasteful,副词只有两个备选项,从含义推断,表示浪费的程度巨大,故而只能选择G;
48.根据and面的结构可以看出需要一个动词,并且此动词必须能与with构成固定搭配,而动词备选项有三,能与with进行搭配且语义符合的只有replace 表示用什么来代替之意;
49.The ______carbon emissions. 很明显缺少一个形容词,来修饰后面的碳排放物这一名词短语,从前后句的意思比较来看,“新建的绿建筑通过削减碳排放物来抵消拆毁老房屋所所耗费的资源平均至少需要65年”,J 便是最佳选项;
50.In the broadest_____, 这也是口语中常用的一种表达,这里缺少一个被broadest 修饰的名词,指的是从广义的角度来看。可以说它是一个固定搭配,选择L sense;
51.利用文章中的结构来推断,便可解决此题,看and前面用的是heating, cooling,可以推断出所缺的词与前两词性相当且功能相当,缺一个以ing结尾的形容词,综观15个选项中,只有H和N,从意思的匹配来看powering提供电能,正合题意;
52. with some_____, 介词结构,空格处显然缺的是一个名词,三个名词已经被用掉一个,还剩accommodations和exceptions,判断完词性后,我们来分析意思,从二段开始讲述的是以前建造的房子都不是节能型的,正好与第一段形成一个对比,故而可以得出此空应填D exceptions;
53. that _____ over time and let in more outside air. 本句是一个的定语从句,再看and 后面连接的一部分,基本可以得出去的是一个动词,它讲的是缝隙变大,使得外面的风能够刮进来,动词protect可以彻底被排除在外,只剩下了expand;
54. a ___ number of 缺少一个形容词来修饰短语,表示程度或数量大的,这一空比较简单O vast 非它不可;
55. from ______ ones like Lincoln’s Cottage,ones是个代词表示像林肯小屋一样的
