D

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices(装置) well after they go out of style.That’s bad news for the environment— and our wallets—as theseoutdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

To figure out how much power these devices are using,Callie Babbitt and her colleaguesat the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for eachproduct throughoutits life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device.This method provided a readout for how home energyuse has evolved since the early 1990s.Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers,basic mobile phones,and box-setTVsdefined 1992. Digital cameras arrivedonthescene in 1997.And MP3 players,smart phones, and LCDTVs entered homesin 2002,beforetablets ande-readers showed upin 2007.

As we accumulated more devices,however,we didn't throw out our old ones.\living-room television is replaced andgets planted in the kids' room,and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,\one researcher.The average number ofelectronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007.We're not just keepingthese old devices—we continue to use them.According to the analysis of Babbitt's team,olddesktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.

So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function,such as a tablet for word processing and TVviewing.They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%. 32.What does the author think of new devices?

A.They are environment-friendly.B.They are no better than the old. C.They cost more to use at home.D.They go out of style quickly. 33.Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research? A.To reduce the cost of minerals. B.To test the life cycle ofa product. C.To update consumers onnew technology. D.To find out electricity consumption of the devices. 34.Which of the following uses the least energy?

A.The box-setTV.B.The tablet. C.The LCDTV.D.Thedesktop computer.

35.What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices? A.Stop using them.B.Take them apart. C.Upgradethem.D.Recycle them.
