study shows that we keep using our old devices(,装置)well after they go out of style.That,s bad news for the environmentand our walletsas these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.,2/26,-,3,-,To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its lifefrom when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s.Devices were grouped by generation.Desktop computers,basic mobile phones,and box-set TVs defined 1992.Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997.And MP3 players,smart phones,and LCD TVs entered homes in,before tablets and e-readers showed up in.,3/26,-,4,-,As we accumulated more devices,however,we didn,t throw out our old ones.“The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids,room,and suddenly one day,you have a TV in every room of the house,”said one researcher.The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in.We,re not just keeping these old deviceswe continue to use them.According to the analysis of Babbitt,s team,old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions(,排放)more than doubling during the 1992 to window.,4/26,-,5,-,So what,s the solution(,处理方案)?The team,s data only went up to,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for world processing and TV viewing.They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.,5/26,-,6,-,32,.What does the author think of new devices?,A.They are environment-friendly.,B.They are no better than the old.,C.They cost more to use at home.,D.They go out of style quickly.,33,.Why did Babbitt,s team conduct the research?,A.To reduce the cost of minerals.,B.To test the life cycle of a product.,C.To update consumers on new technology.,D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.,34,.Which of the following uses the least energy?,A.The box-set TV.B.The tablet.,C.The LCD TV.D.The desktop computer.,6/26,-,7,-,35,.What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?,A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart.,C.Upgrade them.D.Recycle them.,7/26,-,8,-,【文章结构】,8/26,-,9,-,【难点分析】,The team,s data only went up to,but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for world processing and TV viewing.,这个团体数据仅仅是到年,不过研究人员也在探讨,假如消费者用像兼有文字处理和电视观看功效直板电脑一样多功效电子产品替换旧产品话,将会发生什么样情况?,分析:what would happen if consumers

avoid.Nearly everything we touch,from grocery bags to drink bottles,to food packaging,contains plastic.Now,Amsterdam,s Ekoplaza supermarket is making it a little easier for consumers to reduce consumption of single-use plastic bags and containers,which are blocking our landfills at alarming rates,with a special plastic-free aisle(,通道).Believed to be the world,s first,the aisle has 700 products on sale including rice,beans,yogurt,chocolate milk,cereal,snacks and meat.,19/26,-,20,-,While items still require packaging,everything is housed inside reusable or recyclable containers made of glass,metal or cardboard.The unique idea was given to the grocery-chain officials by UK-based environmental group A Plastic Planet,which takes the lead to advocate for at least one plastic-free aisle in supermarkets around the globe.The non-profit has even created a signature“plastic-free”mark to help consumers identify eco-friendly packaging.“This is a consumer-led campaign,”said a group co-founder Sian Sutherland.“We,re a grassroots organization.So obviously we,re working with industry and the government,but most importantly,we represent the public.”,20/26,-,21,-,Ekoplaza,which plans to roll out the plastic-free aisles across its 74 stores by the end of the year,is not the only company trying to reduce plastic waste.In Berlin,the Original Unverpackt grocery store has been trying to change customer habits since by selling everything,from grains to produce and even soaps without plastic packaging.The supermarket,which requires customers to bring their own reusable containers,even sells chewable toothpaste that needs no tubes.,Though it is encouraging to see companies trying to make a difference,for real change to happen,consumers have to avoid products encased in plastics,even if it means giving up their favorite food or drink.As Sutherland put it,“Plastic food and drink packaging remains useful and yet a destructive presence on the earth for centuries afterwards.”,21/26,-,22,-,【语篇解读】,本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿姆斯特丹,Ekoplaza,超市及世界其它一些有名超市致力于为用户提供无塑料通道,勉励用户使用可再循环利用购物袋,以降低塑料白色污染。,22/26,-,23,-,4,.What does Ekoplaza want to do by setting up a plastic-free
