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 resources lost by destroying an old one.
So in the broadest sense, the greenest home is the one that has 5 been built. But at the same time, 6 half of US carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and powering our homes, offices and other 7 . “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, 10 due to the tiny cracks and gaps that 11 over time and let in more outside air.
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 .

答案解析：
1.B 本句提到tear them all down“把它们全部推倒”，结合文章大意可知，推倒这些房子是很浪费的，故本题选B项。
2.C 根据前半句中的tear them all down“把它们全部推倒”可知，此处是说把旧房子换成更节能的房子，所以本题选C项。
3.A 本段讲的是关于节能房子，所以此处肯定是减少的排放，故选A项reduced。
4.C 根据本段中的energy-efficient home“节能房子”可知，此处说的房子肯定是新的，因
为新房子才是节能的，所以本题选C项。
5.D 根据本段可知，房子已经建好了，所以本题选D项already“已经”。

9.D 根据前两段可知，旧房子不节能，所以本题选D项least。
10.B 根据本段可知，空格后提到的the tiny cracks“小裂缝”是旧房子需要消耗更多能源的主要原因，所以本题选B项。
11.A 根据本句中的let in more outside air“使外面的空气进来”可知，裂缝是变大了，所以本题选A项expand“张开”。
12.C 根据空格后的there are a vast number of relatively simple changes that can be green older homes可知，这是一件好事，所以此处选C项。
13.A 空格后给出的例子Lincoln’s Cottage 和your own postwar home都是比较古老的，历史上有重大意义的房子，所以本题选A项。

完形填空练习 【考点分析】主要考查语法知识、单词拼写能力和逻辑推理能力等，对基础相对薄弱的学生，尤其是英语语法基础相对薄弱的学生有一定的难度。 【复习策略】掌握句子的基本结构 首先，我们必须熟练掌握简单句的基本句型结构： （1）主语+谓语（+宾语+宾补） （2）主语+系动词+表语 其次，我们要充分了解充当各个句子成分的典型词类： （1）充当主语或宾语的典型词类是名词或代词。此外，还有动名词、不定式短语等。 （2）充当谓语的一定是动词。 （3）充当补语或表语的典型词类是形容词。 （4）在名词前作定语的典型词类是形容词或形容词性物主代词。 （5）作状语的典型词类是副词。 再次，我们还要掌握句子的扩展结构：两个或几个简单句之间若不用句号或分号，就必须要用连词，否则，句子的结构就不完整。连词主要有以下四类： （1）用and,but,or,while(而，却)，when（就在这个时候）等构成并列句。用if,unless,before,after,until,although,though,as,since,because,so,so that 等构成含状语从句的复合句（这里要注意区分一下复杂句和复合句，复合句是包含在复杂句这个概念里面的,在下文的基础写作部分有提到）。 （3）用who,which,that,when,where,why等构成含定语从句的复合句。（这里要提醒考生的是往往不给任何提示的空就是填连词或关系词的，但也须结合句子
结构来分析。） （4）用that,if/whether(是否)，wh-等构成含名词性从句的复合句。 【解题方法】用句子结构分析法巧解语法填空.分析句子的结构对解答语法填空题很有帮助。在解答语法填空题时，分析句子结构可以迅速确定所要填的词语的词类或大致方向，若再结合语境就可以很快得出具体的词语或词形，结合语境方面要特别注意短文的时态和上下文中的一些提示。 【经典例题】阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。 The Internet has become part of young people’s life. ____1____ report shows that 38% of students often use the Internet .
