12.Giant kites could supply green energy without the need for taxpayer-funded subsidies(津貼)within years.Kite Power Solutions expects to open the U.K.'s first kite power plant this year in Scotland.It hopes to launch the technology onshore and at sea,building systems with the capacity to produce"hundreds of megawatts"of power within the decade.The company believes the technology could reduce the cost of wind energy.And it predicted that kite power would cost so little that developing countries would be more likely to use it to free themselves off polluting carbon-heavy energy sources.
A spokesman Ainsworth for Kite Power Solutions said the technology could decrease the cost of offshore wind energy meeting the need for governments'efforts to reduce carbon emissions(排放).He said the technology was easy to fix and maintain,meaning it could be used in deep water,on floating structures far from shore."If we do that,it opens up a global deep water offshore wind market,"he said.
The technology could control rising CO2 emissions in the developing world,where the need to save money forces people to adopt to polluting technologies such as diesel.The company has tested the technology on a small scale in Essex and will move its headquarters to Glasgow to prepare for next year's launch.It has won planning permission for a 500KW demonstration system.
The U.K.'s green energy trade body,Renewable U.K.,welcomed the technology but warned it was not a silver bullet.The deputy chief executive Mar Smith said:"This is an ambitious project to develop wind power at extraordinary heights and it shows the level of new ideas within the renewable industry.Kite power is at an early stage of development and it will take time to see how the technology progresses.Anyway,we will need a wide range of energy sources in the future to meet our needs in an environmentally friendly way."

分析 本文主要講述了在全世界污染較為嚴(yán)重的時代,人們發(fā)現(xiàn)大型的風(fēng)箏發(fā)電是非常清潔環(huán)保的一項技術(shù),作者意欲給讀者介紹該技術(shù).
解答 28.A 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,.The company believes the technology could reduce the cost of wind energy.And it predicted that kite power would cost so little that developing countries would be more likely to use it to free themselves off polluting carbon-heavy energy sources.研究公司認為這種風(fēng)箏發(fā)電的技術(shù)可以減少能量產(chǎn)生的費用,它的花費可能是如此的少以至于發(fā)展中國家也很有可能用得上清潔能源,由此推斷,風(fēng)箏發(fā)電的最大的特點是花費少.結(jié)合選項,故選A
29.B 細節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,He said the technology was easy to fix and maintain,meaning it could be used in deep water,on floating structures far from shore."If we do that,it opens up a global deep water offshore wind market,"he said.他說風(fēng)箏發(fā)電這項技術(shù)是很容易學(xué)習(xí)和掌握的,那意味著它可以被用在深水、遠離海岸的漂浮結(jié)構(gòu)上等…由此推斷,風(fēng)箏發(fā)電技術(shù)的使用是非常方便的,結(jié)合選項,故選B
30.C 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,The U.K.'s green energy trade body,Renewable U.K.,welcomed the technology but warned it was not a silver bullet…Kite power is at an early stage of development and it will take time to see how the technology progresses 英國的能源環(huán)保局人員非常歡迎這項綠色清潔技術(shù),但是它不是一個快速的解決問題的方法.因為風(fēng)箏發(fā)電技術(shù)現(xiàn)在還在前期的研發(fā)階段,還要花費大量的時間去測試該技術(shù)的可行性.結(jié)合選項,故選C
31.B 寫作目的題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,主要講述了在全世界污染較為嚴(yán)重的時代,人們發(fā)現(xiàn)大型的風(fēng)箏發(fā)電是非常清潔環(huán)保的一項技術(shù),作者意欲給讀者介紹該技術(shù).結(jié)合選項,故選B
點評 本文是一個科教類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.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).
