文章第一段That'sbadnewsfortheenvironment-andourwallets-astheseoutdateddevicesconsumemuchmoreenergythantheneweronesthatdothesamethings.使用旧的电子设备对环境和我们的钱包都是坏消息。
这些过时的设备做相同的事情要消耗比新设备更多的能量。
由此可以看出作者认为新电子设备环保、节能。
因此选A。
2.D
第二段中的Tofigureouthowmuchpowerthesedevicesareusing,CallieBabbittandhercolleaguesattheRochesterInstituteofTechnologyinNewYorktrackedtheenvironmentalcostsforeachproductthroughoutitslife,很明显Babbitt的团队进行这一研究的目的是弄清楚这些设备用了多少电。
因此选D。
3.B
最后一段中entertainmentviewingontabletsinsteadofTVsanddesktopcomputerscouldcutenergyconsumptionby44%,平板电脑是耗能最少的电子设备,可以降低44%的耗能。
自然答案选B。
4.A

因此选A。
D
