While fossil fuels—still generate roughly 85 percent of the world’s energy supply， it’s cl

earer than ever that the future belongs to renewable sources such as wind and solar. The move to renewables is picking up momentum around the world： They now account for more than half of new power sources going on line.

Some growth stems from a commitment by governments and farsighted businesses to fund cleaner energy sources. But increasingly the story is about the plummeting prices of renewables， especially wind and solar. The cost of solar panels has dropped by 80 percent and the cost of wind turbines by close to one-third in the past eight years.

In many parts of the world renewable energy is already a principal energy source. In Scotland， for example， wind turbines provide enough electricity to power 95 percent of homes. While the rest of the world takes the lead， notably China and Europe， the United States is also seeing a remarkable shift. In March， for the first time， wind and solar power accounted for more than 10 percent of the power generated in the US， reported the US Energy Information Administration.

President Trump has underlined fossil fuels—especially coal—as the path to economic growth. In a recent speech in Iowa， he dismissed wind power as an unreliable energy source. But that message did not play well with many in Iowa， where wind turbines dot the fields and provide 36 percent of the state’s electricity generation—and where tech giants like Microsoft are being attracted by the availability of clean energy to power their data centers.

The question “What happens when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine？” has provided a quick put-down for skeptics. But a boost in the storage capacity of batteries is making their ability to keep power flowing around the clock more likely.

The advance is driven in part by vehicle manufacturers， who are placing big bets on battery-powered electric vehicles. Although electric cars are still a rarity on roads now， this massive investment could change the picture rapidly in coming years.

While there’s a long way to go， the trend lines for renewables are spiking. The pace of change in energy sources appears to be speeding up—perhaps just in time to have a meaningful effect in slowing climate change. What Washington does—or doesn’t do—to promote alternative energy may mean less and less at a time of a global shift in thought.

The word “plummeting”（Line 3， Para. 2） is closest in meaning to .

A.stabilizing

B.changing

C.falling

D.rising

It can be inferred from the last paragraph that renewable energy____.A.will bring the USA closer to other countries.

B.will accelerate global environmental change.

C.is not really encouraged by the USA government.

D.is not competitive enough with regard to its cost.

According to Paragraph 3， the use of renewable energy in America .A.is progressing notably

B.is as extensive as in Europe

C.faces many challenges

D.has proved to be impractical

Which of the following is true about clean energy according to Paragraphs 5&6？A.Its application has boosted battery storage.

B.It is commonly used in car manufacturing.

C.Its continuous supply is becoming a reality.

D.Its sustainable exploitation will remain difficult.

It can be learned that in Iowa， .A.wind is a widely used energy source

B.wind energy has replaced fossil fuels

C.tech giants are investing in clean energy

D.there is a shortage of clean energy supply

第二节短文理解1

阅读下面短文，从[A](Right)、[B](Wrong)、[C](Doesn't Say)三个判断中选择一个正确选项。

How to start your life in the USA？ It's very important to learn to use English well. But very often it isn't easy to find someone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions.

If you want to use English in the street, first, get or borrow a dog ! Walk him several times a day! Americans love pets(宠物) and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog.

Then, try to eat in a restaurant. People sitting at the same table with you will sometimes talk to you if they see that you are a foreigner.

Always ask for information from a woman if you are a man, and from a man if you are a woman ! This often works very well though I don't know why.

Learn to say "Please," "Thank you" and "You're welcome" before you come to the

USA and use them all the time! Always say "Fine" in answer to the question "How are you".

Also, when someone says they will meet you at six o'clock, be sure to be there by six.

Americans think highly of time and expect everyone to be "on time. "

All in all, don't worry! Just bring a lot of money and do as I told you. I'm sure you will have a very good start and enjoy your fife here.

Of all the pets Americans like dogs best.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say

第10题

Do you believe that severe punishment would deter potential criminals from evildoing？ Is d

eath penalty (死刑) indispensable component of the criminal law？ Do you believe the arch criminals deserve another chance to turn over a new leaf？ Should capital punishment be abolished (废除的) ？

In the USA, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. Many U.S. states still have the death penalty. Some use the electric chair, which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. The first execution was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of passion. The second, a man was hanged for murders which, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else.

The death penalty advocates listed several points to support capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murders would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed.

The other argument is more suspectful. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally sets out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the delicious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian. But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: in Britain, 1903 was the record year for executions and yet in 1904, the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate would have fallen.

The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge.

Which of the following statements is true according to the first two paragraphs？

A．Ruth Ellis was shot by her lover, which was regarded as a crime of passion.

B．A man was hanged for the murder he didn't commit.

C．In America, each and every state has abolished death penalty.

D．Not many adults in the U.S. are in favor of capital punishment.
