Question

Nuclear energy has always been controversial. But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima(Japan) in 2011, the issue is back in the headlines. And the world is divided—some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down.
After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022. __小題1:__ In fact, almost 80% of France's electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world. And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan.”
Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment. 小題2:__ So, pro­nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change. Britain's chief scientific adviser(John Beddington) supports this view.
Nuclear power is also relatively cheap. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they're expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment. _小題3:__ So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills.
小題4:__ For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years. And even before Fukushima, there were several high­profile nuclear disasters. The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine. The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands of people.
The nuclear energy issue is very complex. _小題5:_ As a Japanese commentator recently said, “It's been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’， but I don't think they're down and out yet.” The battle continues.

A．And it doesn't look like it'll be resolved anytime soon.

B．The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn't safe.

C．Nuclear power could only end the world instead of saving it!

D．Many people believe that they will benefit from the unclear energy.

E．Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn't create greenhouse gases.
F．But France and the United States remain loyal supporters of atomic energy.
G．This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer.
1．______　2.______　3.______　4.______　5.______

Answer 1

小題1:F
小題2:E
小題3:G
小題4:B
小題5:A

本文是一篇議論文。核能的使用總是存在著爭(zhēng)議。自從2011年日本福島海嘯以及核電站泄漏事件后，世界上對(duì)建造核電站出現(xiàn)了兩種聲音。
小題1:F　根據(jù)下文可知，法國(guó)和美國(guó)是核能的忠實(shí)支持者，與上句德國(guó)的做法相反，所以選F項(xiàng)作為過渡。
小題2:E　本段第一句“...nuclear power can help the environment”與E項(xiàng)中的“nuclear power doesn't create greenhouse gases...”相呼應(yīng)。本段主要講述核能不會(huì)產(chǎn)生溫室氣體，有利于保護(hù)環(huán)境。
小題3:G　根據(jù)上下句內(nèi)容可知，空格處表達(dá)的意思為“使用‘綠色能源’的高額費(fèi)用通常轉(zhuǎn)嫁到消費(fèi)者身上”。G項(xiàng)符合語境。
小題4:B　本段主要討論了核能的不安全性，所以本句“反對(duì)核能的主要觀點(diǎn)是因?yàn)樗�不安全”符合題意。故選B項(xiàng)。
小題5:A　根據(jù)下文中的“It's been a bad year for the‘nuclear village’，but I don't think they're down and out yet”，可知問題并沒有解決。所以本句為上句“核能源問題是復(fù)雜的”的遞進(jìn)句，“而且核能問題似乎并不會(huì)馬上得到解決”。故選A項(xiàng)。
