【解析】

试题分析: 本文主要介绍了几种保护环境的方式，这里包括修补漏洞来节省家里取暖和冷却的费用，植树，多用太阳能，绿色出行等。

1.考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：每月暖气和冷却的费用可以占到账单的50%。空后的意思是：所以你能省钱并减少对于环境的影响。所以这里选G（你可以通过修补漏洞来更有效率地加热和冷却家里）连接上下文。

2.，减少用于冷却的能源。所以这里选A（树木有很多好的作用。）与上下文一致。

3. 考查对上下文语境的理解。根据本段下面的内容是讲在夏天用吊扇来冷却的话会节省能源，故这里选D（在夏天用吊扇来散凉。）概括本段内容。

4. 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：更多的使用太阳能。空后的意思是：有很多便宜的太阳能产品，你可以试试。所以这里选C（有很多使用太阳能的方式。）与上下文一致。

5. 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：坐下来想想还有哪些环境友好的交通方式。空后的意思是：你可以步行或者骑自行车到街角的商店。所以这里选E（当你去电影院的时候你可以乘公交车。）与上下文一致。

考点：考查对文章的整体内容和结构的理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。
