高口第二部分阅读SAQ，第一篇Questions 1 to 3解析

高口第一篇SAQ来自于Time杂志的一篇文章，昂立的老师和考生们一起回忆了原文中的关键词，找到了网上的原文（<http://tr.hjenglish.com/page/52015//>）， 也回忆了主要的问题。在这里，我们对本文分析如下：

文章讲到的是一个叫做Joe Harberg的人对于环保和节能的贡献，他和朋友们一起发起了一家名叫Current Energy的公司，专注于帮助广大顾客降低自己住房中的能耗。为了能达到降低住房能耗的目的，Current Energy提供相关的产品及咨询的服务，同时他们还开设了的网站。

从这篇文章本身的难度和问题的回答来看，这3道题目的难度并不大，下面我们开始逐一分析。

第一题： 问Joe Harberg是谁?他是如何开创他的节能事业的？

这是常见的SAQ提问方式，问题在于关于Joe Harberg 的信息在原文中比较散，多处都有出现，我们在回答的过程中要尽可能全面。以下给大家提供一下参考回答。

Joe harberg,46, a Dallas-based entrepreneur, previously had worked as marketing expert and real estate developer. He managed to build an energy-efficient home. In 2003, he was constructing a new home in Dallas and wanted to work with his builder to make the place as environmentally friendly as possible. With the success of his energy-saving efforts, he found the opportunity in launching his own energy-efficient business. Working with his brother-in-law, he helped launch what would become Current Energy, a business providing needed expertise in energy-saving.

第二题：问Current Energy是什么？ 主要经营什么

根据原文的信息，我们认为比较全面的回答应该如下：

Current Energy is a business co-launched by Harberg and his brother-in-law. It is probably the first dedicated energy-efficiency retail store in the US. Shoppers can buy energy-saving gadgets. The store itself is “green cool”. Besides selling gadgets, it also offers services. Homeowners who come to it can order an energy audit, an analysis of how to eliminate energy and water waste. After receiving the report, customers can follow as many of the recommendations as they wish. People who live outside Dallas will soon be able to get energy assessment from and the company will work with licensed auditors in your town to carry out the improvement.

第三题：问到了原文当中的一句话，基于网络上找到的原文，同学们回忆起这句话是“What Current Energy does isn’t as easy as it looks”.

这道题目的回答其实也就在这句话所在的小节。我们建议的回答如下。

Current Energy does provide customers with energy-saving gadgets and services. But maximizing the efficiency in our homes is more than that. One measure taken here may cause problems and troubles somewhere else. Energy efficiency should be holistic, with insulation appliances, lighting and clean electricity all working together.
