題型：閱讀測驗

Household electrical pollution forms 20 percent of all the pollution in the world. In 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the U.S. government suggested a program called “Energy Star (能源之星)” to help with the pollution problem. It intends to improve air quality by reducing electricity use at homes.

Energy Star’s concern is how to reduce global warming and the solution is to use energy-saving products at home. The program has created various energy-saving products such as computers, TVs, clocks, and so on. After the program of Energy Star started, it has helped save over ten billion dollars each year on energy costs in the U.S.

Energy Star is also used for cutting down the standby (待機的) power of electrical equipment. Standby power is the electricity required to keep electrical products in standby mode (模式). When a plug (插頭) is put into a socket (插座), the product uses electricity no matter the machine is working or not. It then wastes much electricity and people have to pay extra money for it. Therefore, many governments advise people to use electrical products with the Energy Star logo (商標). These products would not only reduce electricity use but also save money.

Energy Star is certainly one of the best solutions to reduce household electrical pollution. The program is also running in Taiwan. We can join the program by using energy-saving products and help save the earth.

(1) ( ) Which of the following statements about Energy Star is NOT true?

(A) It helps reduce household electrical pollution.

(B) It helps save over ten billion US dollars on energy costs every year.

(D) It is a program suggested by the EPA of the U.S. government.

(2) ( ) Energy Star’s concern is how to ______.

(A) keep electrical products in standby mode

(B) prevent the earth form getting warmer and warmer

(D) sell as many electrical products with its logo as possible

(3) ( ) Which of the following items is NOT an electrical household product?

(A) A DVD player. (B) A washing machine.

(4) ( ) Which of the following statements is true?

(A) We can improve air quality by using less electricity at home.

(B) When a plug of a machine is put into a socket, it doesn’t waste any

electricity.

the world.

(D) People can save much money by keeping their electrical products in

standby mode.

(5) ( ) According to the article, the program of Energy Star ______.

(A) is practiced only in Taiwan

(B) is practiced only by government officials

(D) makes the air quality worse

答案：(1) C (2) B (3) C (4) A (5) C
