Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．A;3．D;4．A;
解析：

(1)	細節題。根據Decrease energy use標題可知，選擇的電器應該是能節省能源的，這里的ENER－GR STAR label指一種節能的標志(簽)。故選C項。
(2)	細節題。根據Cooling部分第1點“close all of your blinds, curtains, windows and doors to keep out of the hear”可知，blind可能也是一種能遮擋光和熱的窗簾。故選A項。
(3)	細節題。根據Laundry部分“Dry your clothes on a clothesline whenever possible”可知，我們應該晾曬衣服。故選D項。
(4)	主旨大意題。文章最后一部分主要是講燒水做飯時如何能做得更加節能，故A項為最佳標題。
