题目解答
答案
41.由题干关键词“energy bills”定位到第一段“The cost of heating your home, particularly during the colder winter months, makes up about 60% of energy bills. If you need a new boiler(锅炉),make sure you
buy one of the best boiler brands.(家庭取暖的费用,尤其是在寒冷的冬季,约占能源账单的60%。如果你需要一个新的锅炉(锅炉),确保你买最好的锅炉品牌。)”,可推知人们在家庭取暖方面支付超过一半的能源账单。所以应该选A
42.由题干关键词定位到第二段“The first question you should ask yourself if you want the most energy efficient boiler is what type of boiler you should buy.(你应该问自己的第一个问题,如果你想要最节能的锅炉是什么类型的锅炉,你应该购买。)",可推知如果你想要最节能的锅炉,你应该先决定锅炉的类型。所以应该选C
43.由第三段“Getting the wrong type of boiler for your home results in unnecessarily high bills. Learn more about the different types of boiler and which would suit you best in our full guide to the different types of boiler.(买了错误类型的锅炉为您的家导致不必要的高账单。了解更多关于不同类型的锅炉以及最适合你的锅炉的信息,请参阅我们对不同类型锅炉的完整指南)”,可推知你可以通过选择合适的锅炉类型减少你的能源账单。所以应该选B
44.由最后一段“ The size of the boiler in the context of efficiency is its heat output.The higher the heat output of the boiler, the more energy it will be using when it’s switched on. (锅炉的大小在效率的背景下是它的热量输出。锅炉的热量输出越高,当它打开时将使用更多的能源。)”,可推知锅炉的热输出影响能量消耗。所以应该选B
45.由第三段“Learn more about the different types of boiler and which would suit you best in our full guide to the different types of boiler.(了解更多关于不同类型的锅炉以及最适合你的锅炉的信息,请参阅我们对不同类型锅炉的完整指南。)”和最后一段“Learn everything you need to know about picking the right size boiler for your home in our free guide on how to buy the best boiler.(了解您需要知道的一切,在我们的免费指南,如何选择合适的锅炉大小为您的家,如何购买最好的锅炉。)”,可推知最后两段提到的指南主要是关于如何选择最好的锅炉。所以应该选C
