Question

8．The crisis at Japan's Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear energy center has raised questions about the future of the nuclear energy industry．Arjun Makhijani is president of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research in the United States．He says the disaster in Japan is historic．
This week，the chairman of America's nuclear agency said there is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan could reach the United States．Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko also said America has a strong program in place to deal with earthquake threats．No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979．That was when America's worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania．The accident began to turn public opinion against nuclear energy．
To support more clean energy production，the Obama government has been seeking billions of dollars in government loan guarantees to build new centers．Presently，about twenty percent of electricity in the United States comes from nuclear energy．But critics say nuclear power is too costly and dangerous to be worth further expansion．
German prime minister Angela Merkel said Germany would doae all seven nuclear power centers for a moment while energy policy is reconsidered．The European Union is planning to test all centers in its twenty-seven member nations．
Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion．China said it would continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants．And India，under a cooperation agreement with the United States，plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years．
Japan has made nuclear energy a national priority since the 1970s．Unlike many major economies，Japan imports eighty percent of its energy．The Nuclear Energy Institute said twenty-nine percent of Japan's electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011．The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2017．
Nuclear plants supply fourteen percent of global electricity．Nuclear energy is a clean resource，producing no carbon gases．But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue．So is the presence of nuclear oower centers in earthquake areas like the one near Bushehr．Iran．
71．Which of the following countries is the least likely to expand its use of nuclear energy？D
A．China．                          B．India．             
C．Iran．                           D．Germany．
72．The government of Japan intended to increase its nuclear energy in 2017 by          compared with 2011．D
A．29%            B．40%            C．69%                  D．11%
73．Which of the following statements about the use of nuclear power in the U．S．is TRUE？D
A．Most of the electricity comes from nuclear energy in the U．S．
B．The Obama government is against building nuclear power plants．
C．A small number of nuclear power plants have been built since 1979．
D．A serious nuclear accident happened in America at the end of the 1970s．
74．What's the main idea of this passage？B
A．The nuclear crisis in Japan has spread to other parts of the world．
B．The situation of the world's nuclear power development after the crisis in Japan
C．Japan's nuclear disaster will slow the expansion of nuclear plants all over the world
D．Japan's nuclear disaster won't affect the nuclear energy production in other countries．
75．From the last sentence of the passage，we can see the writer's attitude toward building a nuclear power plant near Bushehr，Iran isC．     
A．supportive       B．optimistic       C．negative               D．uncertain．

Answer 1

分析 文章講述的是日本地震所造成的核危機(jī)給其他國(guó)家的核安全起了警示所用，文章并對(duì)全球其他國(guó)家的核問(wèn)題進(jìn)行了分析．

解答 DDDBC
71   D  細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章第五 段Developing nations are less willing to slow nuclear expansion．China said it would continue with plans to build about twenty-five new nuclear plants．And India，under a cooperation agreement with the United States，plans to spend billions on new centers in the coming years．可知中國(guó)，印度和伊朗都會(huì)擴(kuò)大核電站的建設(shè)，故選D．
72   D  細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二 段 The Nuclear Energy Institute said twenty-nine percent of Japan's electricity came from nuclear sources in 2011．The government planned to increase that to forty percent by 2017．可知40%-29%=11%，故選D．
73   D  細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章第二 段No new nuclear power centers have been built in the United States since 1979．That was when America's worst nuclear accident happened at the Three Mile Island center in Pennsylvania． 可知美國(guó)在1979年發(fā)生了最大的核事故，故選D．
74   B   主旨大意題．  通讀全文可知文章講述的是日本地震所造成的核危機(jī)給其他國(guó)家的核安全起了警示所用，文章并對(duì)全球其他國(guó)家的核問(wèn)題進(jìn)行了分析．故選B．
75   C   細(xì)節(jié)題． 根據(jù)文章最后一 段But radioactive waste is a serious unresolved issue 可知放射性廢物是一種嚴(yán)重的未解決的問(wèn)題，伊朗對(duì)于在Bushehr建核電站是持否定態(tài)度的，故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問(wèn)題回到原文，尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．
