2．Officials say the islands of Tokelau in the South Pacific Ocean have become the world′s first territory totally powered by the sun．The move is expected to save money and ease the environmental burden of depending on imported fossil fuels．
New Zealand′s foreign affairs minister released a statement about the Tokelau Renewable Energy Project．Murray McCully said Tokelau′s three main islands now have enough solar capacity to meet all of their electricity needs．
The three islands of Tokelau are Atafu，Nukunonu and Fakaofo．The group of islands is about halfway between New Zealand and Hawaii and is administered by New Zealand．Together they have about 1500citizens．
Each island received its own solar power transmission network．New Zealand officials estimated the cost of the project to build the three solar transmission networks at around seven million dollars．The last of them was completed earlier this month．
It is estimated that oil imports make up to thirty percent of national income in some parts of the Pacific．The move to solar power could save Tokelau about one million dollars a year．One project director said Tokelau would now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens．
Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects．The island nations of Samoa and Tuvalu are aiming to get all of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020．The Cook Islands plans to start moving to solar panels and wind turbines（渦輪）．And most houses in the South Pacific groups of islands will begin to use solar water heaters．
East Timor′s government has promised that no households in the capital，Dili，would be using firewood for cooking by 2015．It also says fifty percent of the country′s electricity will come from renewable sources by the end of the decade．
New Zealand Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the country would hold a Pacific energy summit in March next year．He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau，Tonga，and the Cook Islands．

分析 本文講述了新西蘭的Tokelau島成為世界上第一個(gè)完全使用太陽能發(fā)電的國家以及此舉對其他太平洋島國的影響．
解答 64．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第4段"Each island received its own solar power transmission network"可知，每個(gè)島嶼都有自己的太陽能傳輸網(wǎng)絡(luò)．故選C．
65．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第5段"Tokelau would now be able to spend more on social programs to help its citizens"可知，托克勞的人現(xiàn)在可以花更多的社會活動來幫助其公民．故選D．
66．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．本段首句是主題句Other South Pacific islands are attempting similar projects，其他一些南太平洋島嶼正在嘗試使用綠色能源．其他都是舉例來說明主題句．故竄A．
67．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一句He said the meeting would build on the success of clean and affordable energy solutions for Tokelau．可知，這次會議將建立在尋找利用新的清潔能源的方法．故選D．
點(diǎn)評 題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
