第四讲主旨大意题A(2016·齐鲁名校高三第一次联考)These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint.Green buildings 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 U．S. Green Building Council (评议会) in Washington，D．C.，said.According to Holowka，building accounts for 65 percent of total U．S. 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 gas and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action.The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high­rise building.According to Dettling，“We’ve reduced our energy use by one­third and our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy i n part by using solar power.“On the face of the building we have solar panels (光板) which change the sun’s energy into electricity，”Dettling explained.The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room.In addition，the building has lots of windows，allowing people to use the sun for light during the day.The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building，however.Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources.Anyhow，Holowka said，“It’s going to be big.”【解题导语】本文介绍了绿色建筑。

B(2016·浙江大学附中高考全真模拟)“My work is done.” Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman.He included them in his suicide note.They mark an ignoble end to a noble life，the leave taking of a truly great man.The same words could now be said for the company he left behind.Actually，the Eastman Kodak Company is through.It has been mismanaged financially，technologically and competitively.For 20 years，its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century’s prosperity.One of America’s bedrock brands is about to disappear，the Kodak moment has passed.But George Eastman is not how he died，and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed.Though the ends be needless and premature，they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before.Few companies have done so much good for so many people，or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world.It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.Kodak served mankind through entertainment，science，national defense and the stockpiling of family memories.Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility.It introduced us to The Merry Old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne，and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks.It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy，and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor，and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr.on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel.When that sailor kissed the nurse，and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba，Kodak was the eyes of a nation.From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley，Kodak took us there.Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity(子孙，后代) from the Eastman Kodak Company.In an era of easy digital photography，when we can take a picture of anythingat any time，we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people.Yes，there were photographers，and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted(不自然的) pictures in studios and formal settings.But most people couldn’t afford photographs，and so all they had to remember distant loved ones，or earlier times of their lives，was memory.Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people，grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like.Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection，to the permanence of a photograph.But it wasn’t just people whose features were savable; it was events，the sacred and precious times that families cherish.The Kodak moment，was humanity’s moment.Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings，picnics and parties，be preserved and saved.It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form.Lo vers could take one another’s pictures，children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school，the person releasing the shutter decided what was worth recording，and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made.And for centuries to come，those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny(子孙)．Family history will be not only names on paper，but smiles on faces.The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job，but also allowed the company’s founder to e ngage in some of the most generous charity in America’s history.Not just in Kodak’s home city of Rochester，New York，but in Tuskegee and London，and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.He bankrolled(资助) two historically black colleges，fixed the teet h of Europe’s poor，and quietly did good wherever he could.While doing good，Kodak did very well.Over all the years，all the Kodakers are essential parts of that monumental legacy.They prospered a great company，but they—with that company—blessed the world.That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.Like its founder，we should remember how it lived，not how it died.History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.But history will never forget Kodak.【解题导语】文章叙述了柯达公司的没落，以及柯达公司对世界作出的巨大贡献以及作者对柯达公司的敬仰。
