The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities,buildings and products. When we designed America’s first so-called "green" office building in New York two decades【C1】______, we felt very alone. But today, thousands of people come to green building conferences, and the【C2】______that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be increasingly influential in years to【C3】______.
Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for【C4】______use. The "energy-efficient" sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy crisis’【C5】______indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet. So for 20 years, we’ve been focusing on these materials【C6】______to the molecules, looking for ways to make them【C7】______for people and the planet.
Home builders can now use materials—such as paints that release significantly【C8】______amounts of organic compounds—that don’t【C9】______the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately,【C10】______, our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being "less bad" but on creating【C11】______healthful materials that can be either safely returned to the soil【C12】______reused by industry again and again. As a matter of【C13】______, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already【C14】______a carpet that is fully and safely recyclable (可循环利用的).
Look at it this way: No one【C15】______out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our current industrial systems are【C16】______causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So【C17】______of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are【C18】______a positive approach. We’re giving people high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a【C19】______effect on the world.
It’s not just the building industry, either.【C20】______cities are taking these environmentally positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.
【C5】
选项
A、revealed
B、displayed
C、exhibited
D、discovered
答案
A
解析
词义辨析题。display和exhibit都表示“陈列,展示”的意思,display指展示某物,使其能引人注意,也可指炫耀,或公开展示被隐藏的东西。如;The peacock displayed its fine tails feathers when it noticed anygay colors.(孔雀看到鲜艳的颜色就开屏。)exhibit指公开地展示,可作名词。意为“展览会,展品”.如: She exhibited her paintings at a gallery.(她在画廊中展出她的绘画作品.)discover和reveal一般的含义是“揭示出来”。discover是通用词,在表示“发现”时,它的内涵是被探索或被揭示的某物很早就客观存在着,只是主语不知道。如: Alfred’s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman.(阿尔夫雷德的妻子从未发现自己嫁了个清洁工。)reveal表示“揭示”时,其内涵是通过或好像通过拉开帷幕把某物展现出来,对象一般是原来隐藏或隐秘不为人所知的。如: The question revealed the truth.(那个问题揭示了真相。)此外,display,exhibit和discover的主语通常是能执行动作的人,而reveal的主语既可以是人也可以是物,符合文义和句法的要求。
