Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of harm. Another problem is that we’re running out of it. ① A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power (核能): Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. A lot of ships also use it. Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can’t run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn’t need to buy as much oil from other countries. ② However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, some nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Russia. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. That was several years ago, but Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident. ③ Many people don’t want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it’s not safe. A lot of people in the United States, Russia, France, Japan, India, and many other countries want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity (电力). Sometimes they get together to show their strong disagreement with nuclear energy. ④ Many people hate nuclear energy, but more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don’t have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future. 32. In the first paragraph, what does the underlined word “it” mean? A. The country. B. Nuclear power. C. Fossil fuel. D. The electricity. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nuclear power is a kind of fossil fuels. B. There have been only two nuclear accidents by now. C. Nuclear power is easy enough to make. D. People may run out of fossil fuel one day. 34. The sentence “That’s why we need new sources of energy.” would best be placed at ________. A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Safe Source of Energy? B. The Best Energy Source in the World! C. Everyone Loves Nuclear Power. D. We Should Only Use Fossil Fuels. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了化石燃料和核能作为主要能源的优缺点，并讨论了人们对核能的态度及其未来的使用趋势。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文中“One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air...Another problem is that we’re running out of it.”可知，此处说的是有关化石燃料存在的问题，所以这里的“it”指的是前文提到的“化石燃料”。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“More than 80 percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuel.”和“we’re running out of it”可知，化石燃料正在逐渐耗尽，人们可能有一天会用完化石燃料。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。题干中“That’s why we need new sources of energy.”表示“那就是我们需要新能源的原因”。根据“Another problem is that we’re running out of it.”可知，第一段谈到化石燃料快用光了，结合“A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power”可知，第二段谈到了一种新的能源；由此推知，该句应用作第一段的结尾句，引出下文。故选A。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讨论了化石燃料和核能的优缺点，并探讨了核能的安全性和未来的使用趋势。因此，最合适的标题是“A Safe Source of Energy?”，即核能是否是一种安全的能源。故选A。 五、信息还原（共5分,每小题1分） When was the last time you gave or received a hug?

A. fashion B. sports C. music D. famous people C Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel (化石燃料). Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal. More than 80 percent of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of harm. Another problem is that we’re running out of it. ① A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power (核能): Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. A lot of ships also use it. Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can’t run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn’t need to buy as much oil from other countries. ② However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, some nuclear accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Russia. In the next 20 years, about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. That was several years ago, but Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident. ③ Many people don’t want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it’s not safe. A lot of people in the United States, Russia, France, Japan, India, and many other countries want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity (电力). Sometimes they get together to show their strong disagreement with nuclear energy. ④ Many people hate nuclear energy, but more and more countries are using it. One reason for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don’t have enough fossil fuel. However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future. 32. In the first paragraph, what does the underlined word “it” mean? A. The country. B. Nuclear power. C. Fossil fuel. D. The electricity. 33. What can we learn from the passage? A. Nuclear power is a kind of fossil fuels. B. There have been only two nuclear accidents by now. C. Nuclear power is easy enough to make. D. People may run out of fossil fuel one day. 34 The sentence “That’s why we need new sources of energy.” would best be placed at ________. A ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 35. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A Safe Source of Energy? B. The Best Energy Source in the World! C. Everyone Loves Nuclear Power. D. We Should Only Use Fossil Fuels. 五、信息还原（共5分,每小题1分） When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, ____36____.
