coal a day. Forty percent of that powers old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs-a 19th-century technology that wastes most of the power it consumes on
unwanted heat.2 Compact fluorescent lamps（节能灯）, or CFLs, not only use 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs（白炽灯） to generate the same amount of light, but they last 10 times longer. Phasing old bulbs out by 2030 would save the output of 650 power plants and avoid the release of 700 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year.A． TrueB． FalseC． Not
Given【答案】B【解析】本题考查阅读判断技巧之阿拉伯数字看成重要的定位词。根据题干中的75 to 80
percent定位在第二段，根据第二段第一句话Compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLs, not only use 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs to generate the same amount of light, but they last 10 times
longer.可知本说法和题干所描述不符，该句话的意思是\节能灯要产生同样的光所消耗的电能比白炽灯少75%到80%，但它们寿命比后者的10倍还长\，由此也可以推出白炽灯所消耗的电能很小一部分能转化成光，故题干的表述是错误的，所以选择B。【知识点】阅读判断技巧之阿拉伯数字看成重要的定位词

① Most of the arts in America are a combination of ideas and influences from many sources. Tap dancing certainly fits in this category. It is truly an American art, but it has been influenced by English and Irish dance steps as well as steps from Africa.
② Some historians argue that tap dancing was first done by slaves on Southern plantations in North America, and that originally steps were done wearing soft-soled shoes. Irish step dancing, which also involves intricate（复杂的）foot patterns, contributed the movement of the free leg to one side and the swing of the elbows outward. Wooden clog shoes were worn as tap dancing evolved, but for a long time the steps were done flat-footed.
③ Tap dancing developed into the form we recognize today in the early 20th century. Metal taps were added to dance shoes, and a number of new techniques were perfected. One of the most important was the change from the flat-footed step to dancing on the balls of the feet. This is commonly attributed to dancer Bill Robinson. Another was the \ move from the ball of the right foot to the ball of the left, and then to the heel of each foot. This separation of the steps into distinct areas of the foot, an innovation by dancer John Bubbles, allowed dancers to improvise even more new patterns. Slides across the floor and movements up and down stairs further enlivened tap. So did relaxed arm and shoulder movements. Challenges became a common part of dance routines, with dancers competing very hard to outperform（胜过）each other with new and difficult steps.
④ Many dancers excelled at tap and contributed to its development. Besides Bill Robinson and John Bubbles, well-known tappers have included Sammy Davis, Jr., Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, Gregory Hines, and Savion Glover. 11. This text is mainly about _______.
