[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文.要想在不使用
化石能源的情况下实现零碳排放的未来,我们可
以依靠风能和太阳能,而且纬度越低,全面转向可
持续电力资源越容易,甚至可以实现全年都可以
依靠太阳能发电.
1.A [细节理解题.根据首段末句“‘Windand
solarcouldmeetmorethan80percentofdeG
mand ... without using fossil energy reG
sources’.(‘风能和太阳能可以满足许多地方
80%以上的需求,而不需要大量的存储或额外
的发电能力,这是临界点,’UCI地球系统科学
525
第三部分 人与自然
教授史蒂夫戴维斯说,‘如果我们想要在不使用
化石能源的情况下实现零碳排放的未来.’)”可
知,史蒂夫戴维斯说临界点意味着可以使用风
能和太阳能减少碳排放.故选 A.]
2.D [推理判断题.根据第二段第二句“They
foundthatafulshifttosustainablepowerreG
sourcescanbeeasierforlowerGlatitude(低纬度
的)countries,whichcanrelyonsolarpoweraG
vailabilitythroughouttheyear.”可知,纬度越
低,全面转向可持续电力资源可能更容易,可以
实现全年都可以依靠太阳能发电.所以靠近赤
道的国 家 最 有 可 能 全 年 依 赖 太 阳 能 发 电.故
选 D.]
3.A [词 义 猜 测 题.根 据 第 三 段 末 句 “Among
theapproachestheresearcherssuggestedtoalG
leviatethisproblemarebuildingupgenerating
capacity,developinglongGtermstoragecapabilG
itiesandpoolingresourcesofmultiplenations
onacontinentallandmasstomaketheburden
lightertoacertaincountry.(研究人员提出的
这一问题的方法包括增强发电能力,发展长期
储存能力,以及将多个国家的资源集中在一块
大陆上,以减轻某个国家的负担.)”可知,研究
人员提出的是为了减轻某个国家的资源负担这
一问题.故可推知,划线词和本句中“makethe
burdenlighter”为同义.故选 A.]
4.C [推理判断题.根据末段首句“‘EuropeproG
videsagoodexampletohelppeopleproduce
netGzerocarbonelectricity,’saidTong.(Tong
说:‘欧洲提供了一个很好的例子,帮助人们生
产净零碳电力.’)”可知,Tong的话说明欧洲在
生产净零碳电力方面做得很好.故选C.]
