Renewable Energy Sources

Today 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 22^nd 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."Renewable"refers to the fact that these resources are
not used faster than they can be replaced.
Hydroelectric（水力发电的）power is now the most common form of renewable energy,
suDDIvina around 20%of world electricity.China's Three Gorges Dam 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 use tidal（潮汐的）currents in the open
sea opened in Norway. It is designed like windmill（风车）,but others take the torm of
turbines.
As prices fall,wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity
generation一quadrupling（翻两番）worldwide between 1999 and 2005. Modern wind farms
consist of turbines that generate electricity.Though it will be more expensive,there is more
than enoucih 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一they can interfere with radar,
alter climate and kill sea birds.Scotland is building Europe's largest wind tarm,wnicn 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 unreiiable.

According to the passage,resources like wind are
A:renewable.
B:recyclable.
C:damaging.
D:scarce.

答案：A

第3题：

Besides climate change, developing countries like China need to deal with energy【21】and environmental issues: the development of sources of clean energy needs to be【22】line with their interests. Clean energy has been given greater prominence than ever before; it is seen as a new industrial【23】and【24】of economic growth for the new century. The time for clean energy has come.

In China, clean energy is moving ahead at full speed. Take wind power as an example: by the end of last year, China had【25】wind power generating capacity of 12. 21GW, making China the largest wind power generator in Asia and fourth in the world. But according to the research, one-third of wind power capacity is running【26】due to an inability to get the power to the national【27】.

India-like China—relies【28】on coal for its energy needs. This will only change if the funds and technology to develop clean energy, such as wind and nuclear power, are【29】. India will not choose clean energy【30】. Nuclear power is currently the most【31】of clean energy sources.【32】, if it is to be【33】on a large scale by developing nations, technological advances will be needed to make it competitive with coal.

Compared【34】developed countries, developing countries have more【35】choices when it comes to energy structure. Promoting economic growth requires【36】energy—and coal, the cheapest and most【37】source of energy for many countries—is the【38】choice. Cheap coal means cheap electricity and a competitive economy. Rising electricity prices would cause public【39】and impact on standards of【40】.

In addition to the established energy sources such as gas ,coal ,oil and nuclear ,there are a num-ber of other sources that we ought to consider. Two of these are hydroelectric and tidal power. These two sources are (21) in that they are both renewable.

正确答案：C
参考译文除了那些人们所熟知的能源，例如天然气、煤、石油、核能，我们还应该关注其他许多新能源。水力电能和潮汐能就是其中的两种。这两种能源的相似之处在于，它们都是可再生能源。但是，水力电能比潮汐能的使用范围要更广。事实上，水力电站已经为全世界提供了大量电能，而潮汐电站仍然处于最初的发展阶段。就地理位置而言，水力电站工程要建在湖泊和河流地区，而潮汐电站只能建在潮汐发生频率很高的河流入口处。不幸的是，这些地方很有限。目前，水力电站主要分布在挪威、加拿大、瑞典和巴西，而潮汐电站则位于法国、俄罗斯和中国。至于资金投入，两种电站均需要高投入。另一方面，它们所产出的利润都很低。实际上，与煤、石油和核能等传统能源相比，一个大型水力电站发电的成本要低。在生产资金方面，潮汐电站也要优于核能和石油电站。和水力电站一样，潮汐电站的预期寿命也很长。据估计，它们都能够运行100多年。在供电的持续性方面，潮汐电站不同于水力电站，因为潮汐电站只能间隙性供电。而水力电站能够持续供电。答案及解析 21．C 【精析】compatible兼容的；parallel平行的；similar类似的； identical完全相同的，一模一样的；similar常与介词in连用表示在某方面相似，这里表示水力电能和潮汐能的相似之处在于两者都可再生，故选C。

Which country took the lead in making use of tidal currents to produce power in 2003?
A:The UK.

D:TheUS.

答案：C

解析：

第8题：

4 (a) For this part, assume today’s date is 1 March 2006.

Bill and Ben each own 50% of the ordinary share capital in Flower Limited, an unquoted UK trading company

that makes electronic toys. Flower Limited was incorporated on 1 August 2005 with 1,000 ￡1 ordinary shares,

and commenced trading on the same day. The business has been successful, and the company has accumulated

a large cash balance of ￡180,000, which is to be used to purchase a new factory. However, Bill and Ben have

received an offer from a rival company, which they are considering. The offer provides Bill and Ben with two

alternative methods of payment for the purchase of their shares:

(i) ￡480,000 for the company, inclusive of the ￡180,000 cash balance.

(ii) ￡300,000 for the company assuming the cash available for the factory purchase is extracted prior to sale.

Bill and Ben each currently receive a gross salary of ￡3,750 per month from Flower Limited. Part of the offer

terms is that Bill and Ben would be retained as employees of the company on the same salary.

Neither Bill nor Ben has used any of their capital gains tax annual exemption for the tax year 2005/06.

Required:

(i) Calculate which of the following means of extracting the ￡180,000 from Flower Limited on 31 March

2006 will result in the highest after tax cash amount for Bill and Ben:

(1) payment of a dividend, or

(2) payment of a salary bonus.

You are not required to consider the corporation tax (CT) implications for Flower Limited in your

answer. (5 marks)

正确答案：

As a result, Bill and Ben would each be better off by ￡15,005 (69,142 – 54,137). If the cash were extracted by way
of dividend.
Tutorial note: In this answer the employers’ national insurance liability on the salary has been ignored. Credit would be
given to a candidate who recognised this issue.

推理判断题。根据定位词可定位到文章前两段，第一段第一句提到，为了让新风力电场和核电站满足英国碳排放目标，家庭能源费用会增加……，由此可知，大多数可持续发展措施是由英国人来买单的，新风力电场和核电站都属于可持续发展措施，故选C项。【干扰排除】A项，文章第二段提到气候变化委员希望增加的能源账单费用可以用节约下来的费用抵消，并未提到气候变化委员会建议政府增加费用，A项属于无中生有，故排除；B项，原文是说可持续发展措施等装置是高效节能的．B项与此内容相反，属于正反混淆，故排除；D项是文章细节，不是可以从文章内容中推出的，故排除。
