听力原文：The state of Illinois plans to install solar energy systems in 2.5 million homes

听力原文： The state of Illinois plans to install solar energy systems in 2.5 million homes by 2020 to save electricity and reduce pollution from power plants and industrial facilities, Governor Andrew Marshall said on Friday. New legislation states that any homes builders make based on the energy plan will be required to offer solar panels as an option for new homes in Illinois from 2010. Home buyers will receive 40% panel installation rebates from the state government, and also upon request, prospective buyers will get an estimate of installation costs and possible energy savings which will be credited to the buyers' accounts. During peak periods, it is expected that every year up to one million watts of electricity will be saved and pollution will be reduced by 50 million tons of carbon dioxide-based pollutants.

When will buyers be informed about installing solar panels as an option from the builders？

A．In 2010.

B．In 2020.

C．In 2040.

D．In 2050.

Those who use solar energy help us save our precious fnel. As you know, our supplies of oi

l and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when Mother Nature says that's all, that's all. The only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, such as the sun.

We won't have to worry about the sun's running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Beside being an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun does not offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need these sources of energy, but we won't need as much. That means that we can cut down our pollution problems.

Furthermore, owners of solar homes will have extra protection against rising fuel costs. They will also have some protection against fuel shortages. When utility(公用事业的) costs go up, as they surely will, owners of solar homes won't have to face the burdens brought about by increased costs.

With all these good points, why don't we see more of solar power？ There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy around. All that has changed now. Solar costs are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. And experts say that gas will triple in cost in the next few years. In fact, gas is in such short supply right now that, in some places, it is not sold to new customers. Some customers are even having their supplies cut back.

Solar energy is now in its infancy. It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation's energy supply.

What is this article about？

A．Energy from the sun.

B．Natural gas.

C．How oil is made.

D．Saving energy.

根据下列材料请回答 47～56 题： When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new

根据下列材料请回答 47～56 题：

When we think of green buildings, we tend to think of new ones – the kind of high-tech, solar-paneled masterpieces that make the covers of architecture magazines. But the U.S. has more than 100 million existing homes, and it would be __47__ wasteful to tear them all down and __48__ 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 __49__ carbon emissions from a new energy-efficient home to make up for the resources lost by destroying an old one. So in the broadest __50__, the greenest home is the one that has already been built. But at the same time, nearly half of U. S. carbon emissions come from heating, cooling and __51__ our homes, offices and other buildings. "You can't deal with climate change without dealing with existing buildings," says Richard Moe, the president of the National Trust.

With some __52__, the oldest homes tend to be the least energy-efficient. Houses built before 1939 use about 50% more energy per square foot than those built after 2000, mainly due to the tiny cracks and gaps that __53__ over time and let in more outside air.

Fortunately, there are a __54__ number of relatively simple changes that can green older homes, from __55__ 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 __56__ property owners from rising power costs.

E) replace
