The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.

An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives -- a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean -- virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.

President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a convention centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course. “It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the possibility,” a government official said.

The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “l(fā)and from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.

The Maldives began work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change.

Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s dilemma , has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded. He has also pledged the Hulhumale to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.

1. What’s the main idea of the passage?

3. According to the passage, the underlined word congestion means _______.

4. Which of the following is NOT Nasheed’s idea?_______

A. To purchase land elsewhere in the world to help Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded.

B. To make his nation a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020

C. To stop using fossil fuel and power all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.

These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Green building means “reducing the effect of the building on the land,” Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington, DC, said.

According to Holowka, buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources, such as gasoline, and give off pollution.

Green buildings are often built on developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats. Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise（高層的）building.

According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption（消費(fèi)量）by one-third and our water by 50 percent.

The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. The Solaire also has lights that automatically（自動(dòng)地）turn off  when people leave the room. Plus, the building has lots of windows. This allows people to use the sun for light instead of lamps during the day.

 

72. Green buildings are _______.

A. far away from public transportation           B. built in the forests

C. earth-friendly                                          D. often built on developing land

73. Green buildings are built near public transportation mainly for the purpose of ______.

A. taking buses or subways easily                  B. saving natural resources

C. driving private cars less                            D. protecting the environment

74. The Solaire is thought to be “green” because it ________.

A. locates near a forest                                 B. lies close to stores

C. reduces energy and water use                    D. was built with green materials

75. Which of the following is used to cut energy consumption in the Solaire?

A. Closing windows as long as possible.           B. Reducing the time of using lights.

C. Recycling solar power.                               D. Using natural resources.
