    People are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Purchasing property that is
    environmentally responsible is a good investment for those who are concerned about their own
    health and the well-being of the earth. Based on this trend, entire districts, known as eco-communities,
    are being designed with a green focus in mind. Dockside Green in Victoria, British Columbia is
    one of them.
    If everything goes according to plan, Dockside Green will be a self sufficient community along
    the harbour front of British Columbia's capital city. The community will be home to 2500 people
    and will consist of residential, office, and retail space. Builders of Dockside Green have the
    environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure properventilation(通风), and
    guarantee residents 100% fresh indoor air. Building materials, such as paints and wood, are natural
    and non-poisonous. Eco-conscious builders use bamboo wherever possible because it grows fast
    and does not requirepesticides(杀虫剂) to grow.
    Energy efficiency is one of the top concerns in eco-communities, such as Dockside Green. Not
    only do energy efficient appliances andlight fixtures(照明设备) reduce the environmental impact
    of heating and hot water, they also save residents and business owners money. Dockside Green
    claims that home owners will use 55% less energy than average residents in Canada. Residents will
    have individual water metres as studies show that people use around 20% less energy when they are
    billed for exactly what they use. In addition, water is treated at Dockside Green and reused on site
    forflushing(冲洗) toilets.
    Planners of eco-communities such as Dockside Green must take the future into account. Dockside
    Green plans on reusing 90% of its construction waste. They also plan to continue using local suppliers
    for all of their transport and maintenance needs. This is a great way to reduceemissions(排放).
    Dockside residents will be encouraged to make use of a mini transportation system and buy into the
    community's car share program. Finally, plans are in the works for a high-tech heating system that
    will use renewable energy instead offossil fuels(化石燃料).
    Dockside residents will benefit from excellent local services with high quality healthcare, shopping
    and education at the heart of the community, along with excellent recreation facilities and plentiful
    green open spaces. The Eco-Community will favour the use of locally-sourced goods and services;
    they will be desirable places to live, promoting atangible(看得见的) sense of civic pride, responsibility
    and, as the name suggests, community.

  • 健康环保类阅读

健康环保累阅读概念:

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。


健康环保类文章阅读技巧:

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考,理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文,从结构上看大致可分为三个部分:
       第一部分一般是文章的首段,主要用来提出文章的主题,即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容;
       第二部分是文章的主体,可由若干个段落组成,对文章的主题进行展开说明;
       第三部分是结尾段,对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时,而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性,也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看,科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节,很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事,需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少,因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难,只要多加训练,就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing):
      阅完材料后,将所阅材料浓缩,摘要,做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization):
      阅读后根据阅读内容,识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如:时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
