题目

一个八年级学生的身高可能是（ ）A. 16cm B. 160dm C. 16m D. 1.6m 答案：【答案】D【解析】中学生身高约为1.6 m．所以选择D．These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories and offices. 　 Green buildings mean “reducing the impact（影响） of the building on the land”, Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington , D, C. said. According to Holowka, building account for （占了）65 percent of total US electricity use. 　　 But Green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less.That could be good for the environment ,because cars use a lot of gas and give off waste air. Green buildings are often built on the developed land ,so that the buildings don’t destroy forests. 　 Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action .The Soliare has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling ,”We’ve reduced our energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.” 　 The Soliare reduces the use of energy by using solar power.” On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun’s energy into electricity,” Dettling explained. 　 The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. 　 Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than traditional energy sources. Anyhow, Holoka said,’’It’s going to be big.” 1. What does The Solaire refer to?
