Question

【題目】 It is widely agreed that the over-use of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil has caused serious environmental problems. Scientists are trying to find new clean energies that do not pollute the air, the water or the ground. Solar power is one of them.

Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun, using solar panels (面板，電池板). The power is easy to get and will never be used up. Whenever it is sunny, there is the power. The power is clean and renewable. It helps to reduce waste and pollution, which is great for the environment. In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants, solar power is especially necessary. It enables the people there to use lights, TVs, computers, washing machines, fridges and many other things.

Therefore, more and more countries, such as China, the USA, Japan and India, encourage scientists to develop practical technology to put solar power to use. However, the power is not as widely used as expected.

One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine. Countries or areas with a lot of rain, like the UK, are not suitable to develop such power system. Secondly, a solar power panels requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity. Maybe an area in the desert would be one of the perfect places for such a plant to build. What’s more, solar panels are expensive at present though the energy itself doesn’t cost anything.

Today scientists are working hard to develop more practical and cheaper solar power system. Maybe one day solar power will be one of the most important clean energies in our life.

C.Because fixing solar panels needs very large sites.D.All over above.

【4】What’s the main idea of paragraph 4?

A.The ways to use solar power

B.The advantages of solar power.

C.The places to build the solar power station.

D.The difficulties of putting solar power into use widely.

【5】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Solar energy itself is expensive

B.Solar power will run out very soon.

C.Solar power is a kind of clean and useful energy.

D.Solar power is much better than the other energetic.

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

本文介紹了太陽能的優(yōu)點和缺點。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第2段第1句“Solar power is a kind of electricity which is produced by taking energy from the sun, using solar panels（太陽能是一種利用太陽能電池板從太陽獲取能量而產(chǎn)生的電能）”可知太陽能是一種從太陽獲取的能量；故選B。

【2】詞意猜測題。根據(jù)常識可知太陽能永遠不會用完，故此句“The power is easy to get and will never be used up.”句意是：這種能源很容易獲得，而且永遠不會用完。故“be used up”意思是“用完”，故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第4段“One of the challenges is that a solar power system needs sunshine...Secondly, a solar power panels requires a very large site to fix enough solar panels to collect sunlight and change it into electricity. …What’s more, solar panels are expensive at present though the energy itself doesn’t cost anything.”可知太陽能沒有被廣泛使用的原因有：太陽能系統(tǒng)需要陽光，太陽能電池板很貴，安裝太陽能電池板需要很大的場地。故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。第4段主要講述了太陽能沒有被廣泛使用的3個原因：太陽能系統(tǒng)需要陽光，太陽能電池板很貴，安裝太陽能電池板需要很大的場地�？芍�第4段的主要內(nèi)容是太陽能廣泛應用的困難；故選D。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第4段最后一句“What’s more, solar panels are expensive at present though the energy itself doesn’t cost anything.（更重要的是，太陽能電池板目前價格昂貴，盡管能源本身不需要花費任何費用。）”可知A錯誤。根據(jù)第2段第2句“The power is easy to get and will never be used up.（這種力量很容易獲得，而且永遠不會耗盡。）”可知B錯誤。根據(jù)第4段太陽的缺點，可知D錯誤。根據(jù)第2段第4句“The power is clean and renewable.（這種能源是清潔和可再生的。）”和第2段第6和7句“In the areas that are too far away to send electricity to or not easy to build electric power plants, solar power is especially necessary. It enables the people there to use …(在距離發(fā)電廠太遠或不易建廠的地區(qū)，太陽能尤為必要。它使那里的人們能夠使用電燈、電視……)”可知“太陽能是一種清潔有用的能源。”故選C。
