Renewable Energy Sources
Today petroleum provides around 40%of the world's energy needs,mostly fuelling automobiles.Coal is still used,mostly in power stations,to cover one-quarter of our energy needs,but it is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel.Natural gas reserves could plug（填补）some of the gap from oil,but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either.Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years.We could fast reach an energy crisis.We need to rapidly develop sustainable solutions to fuel our future.Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution.They may benefit the world's poor too."Renewable"refers to the fact that these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced.
The Chinese and Romans used watermills over 2,000 years ago.But the first hydroelectric dam was built in England in 1870.Hydroelectric power is now the most common form of renewable energy,supplying around 20%of world electricity.China's Three Gorges Dam,which has just been completed, is the largest ever.At five times the size of the US ' s Hoover Dam , its 26 turbines（涡轮机）will generate the equivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations.It will satisfy 3%of China's entire electricity demand.
In 2003,the first commercial power station to harness tidal currents in the open sea opened in Norway. It is designed like windmill,but others take the form of turbines.
As prices fall,wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation-quadrupling worldwide between 1999 and 2005.Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity.Though it will be more expensive,there is more than enough wind to provide the world's entire energy needs.Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms.They can often end up at spots of natural beauty,and are often unpopular with residents.And turbines are not totally benign-they can interfere with radar and leave a significant ecological footprint,altering climate and killing sea birds.Migrating birds may have more luck avoiding them.Scotland is building Europe's largest wind farm,which will power 200 ,000 homes.The UK's goal is to generate one-fifth of power from renewable sources,mainly wind,by 2020.But this may cause problems,because wind is unreliable.

Which is the country with the first commercial power station that makes use of ocean currents produced by tides?
A:China.
B:Norway.
C:England.
D:America.

参考答案

参考解析
解析：第一段前三句分别提到了三种能源：石油、煤、天然气，从对其的叙述可知，这些都是非可再生能源。由第二段第三句“…form of renewable energy…”以及第四段倒数第二句“...renewablesources,mainly wind…”可知，风和水是可再生能源。
根据第二段第四句可知，三峡水电站是世界上最大的水电站。
第三段第一句表明，2003年挪威首次运营利用潮汐进行发电的商业电站。
由第四段第一句“As prices fall , wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricitygeneration …”和第三句“… there is more than enough wind to provide the world ' s entire energyneeds."，以及最后一句“But this may cause problems , because wind is unreliable.”可知，本题应选择D项。
对这个问题的理解依赖于对整篇文章的理解。特别是第一段最后一句表明，可再生能源的更新速度比消耗速度快。由此可知，可再生能源可以更新，因而是可持续使用的。

It will satisfy 3%of China's entire electricity demand.In 2003,the first commercial power station to use tidal（潮汐的）currents in the open sea opened in Norway. It is designed like windmill（风车）,but others take the form of turbines.As prices fall,wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation-quadrupling（翻两番）worldwide between 1 999 and 2005 . Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity. Though it will be more expensive,there is more than enough wind to provide the world's entire energy needs.Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms. They can often end up at spots of natural beauty,and are often unpopular with residents. And turbines are not totally harmless-they can interfere with radar,alter climate and kill sea birds.Scotland is building Europe's largest wind farm,which will power 200 ,000 homes. The U.K. 's goal is to generate one-fifth of power from renewable sources,mainly wind,by 2020 .But this may cause problems, because wind is unreliable. Which countly took the lead in making use of tidal currents to produce power in 2003?A: TheU.K.B: China.C: Norway.D: TheU.S.

考题 共用题干 Renewable Energy SourcesToday petroleum（石油）provides around 40% of the world's energy needs, mostly fuelling automobiles .Coal is still used,mostly in power stations,to cover one-quarter of our energy needs, but it is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel（矿物燃料）.Natural gas reserves could fill some of the gap from oil,but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either. Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years. Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution.
