　　答案解析：

　　51 B 文章第一句提到美国消耗能源全球最多，第二旬提到的是造成这种结果的根源。根据意思应填result。

　　52A 此旬的意思是，我们如何改变这种情况。从上下文意思判断，应该选用improve。

　　53 C 从意思上来讲，operating cost搭配在这里最合适。

　　54A 节能的产品贴有“能源之星”，这里要用动词“carry”表示带有，贴有。

　　55c 这里引导的是限定性定语从句，故用关系代词that。

　　56 D energy bill指消耗电、汽等能源的账单。其他几个选项的意思与上下文不符。

　　57 B 根据上下文这里指使用最多的是灯泡，因为长时间使用这样的灯泡耗电量大，所以要把这些灯泡换成节能型。

　　58 D 这里要用介词0ver，表示跨越很长时间。

　　59 A 从上下文来看，接下来文章进一步说明节能灯泡的好处，故用表示递进的词moreover。

　　60 c set的意思是“设定”，其他几个词意思与文章不符。

　　61 B 此句的意思是当你使用电视、收音机等设备时要关掉它们，故选using。

　　62 D 此处的意思是离开房间时忘了关闭它们，故选forget。

　　63 A 此旬的意思是，天气晴朗的时候，要打开百叶窗，让阳光进来。从上下文判断，只能选A。

　　64 D 此处只有填sunlight意思才讲得通，所以D为答案。

　　65 C 此处的意思是温度升高几度，“度数”要用degree来表示，故c答案。
