　　Section A

　　隨著全球能源緊張和環(huán)境污染日益嚴重，綠色建筑逐漸成為全世界共同關注的話題。其特點為減少能源和資源消耗，并盡可能采用新技術和新材料。

　　47. nearly 50%

　　[定位]根據(jù)題干中的Swiss Re Tower可以定位到第一段第二句：Thanks to its artful design and some fancy technology, it is expected to consume up to 50% less energy than a comparable conventional office building.

　　[精解]題目問的是得益于其精良的設計、先進的技術，Swiss Re Tower比傳統(tǒng)辦公大樓能節(jié)省多少能源。該句意為"由于其設計精良，技術先進，Swiss Re Tower有望比傳統(tǒng)建筑節(jié)能近50%"。題干中的owing to與原文中thanks to的同義，traditional與conventional同義。by在此句中為介詞，表程度相差多少的意思，后面應接數(shù)字。故答案為nearly 50%。
