New energy efficient models may cost more initially, but have a lower operating(3) over their lifetimes. The most energy-efficient models (4) the Energy Star label, which identifies products that use 20-40 per cent less energy than standard new products. According to the EPA, the typical American household can save about $-400 per year in (5) bills with products that carry the Energy Star.
Switch to compact fluorescent bulbs. —Change the three bulbs you use (6) in your house to compact fluorescents. Each compact fluorescent bulb will keep half a ton of carbon dioxide out of the air over its lifetime. (7), compact fluorescent bulbs last ten times as long and can save $-30 per year in electricity costs.
Set heating and cooling temperatures correctly.—Check thermostats in your home to make sure they are (8) at a level that doesn’t waste energy. Get an electronic thermostat that will allow your furnace to heat the house to a lower temperature when you’re sleeping and retum it to a more(9)temperature before you wake up.

Choose renewable energy.—Many consumers can now choose their energy supplier. If you have a choice, choose an electric utility that uses renewable power (12), such as solar, water or wind.
Let the sun shine In.—The cheapest and most energy—efficient light and heat source is often right outside your windows. On (13) days, open blinds to let the sun light your home for free. Also remember that (14) entering a room equals passive solar heating. Even on cold winter days, sun streaming into a room can raise the temperature by several (15).
dioxide n. 二氧化物
insulate adj.隔热
thermostat n.温度自动调节
rating n.等级级别
timer n.定时器
fluorescent adj.荧光的
blind n.百叶
选项
A、Moreover
B、However
C、Therefore
D、So
答案
A
解析
备选项是逻辑副词,借助前后句的句意“每个小型荧光灯在其使用的过程中不会向空气中排放二氧化碳,因此在空气中就少增加1/2的二氧化碳。小型荧光灯的寿命是普通灯泡的10倍,能在电费上每年节约30美元。”判断A(而且)是答案。
