cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer. So, while many people may prefer

their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills. This

is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape.

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

high-profile 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.

The nuclear energy issue is very complex. And it doesn’t look like it’ll be resolved anytime soon.

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.

31. Which of the following may NOT be the advantage of nuclear energy over other energy sources?

A. Nuclear energy doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases.

B. Nuclear energy can help prevent the climate damage.

C. Nuclear energy is more environmental-friendly than other green energy sources.

D. Nuclear energy can save the consumers some money, compared to other renewable energies.

32. In the 5

th

paragraph, the author takes the case of Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine to _______.

A. convince the reader that nuclear waste is difficult to get rid of.

B. explain that nuclear waste may remain harmful to humans for thousands of years.

C. persuade the world not to use nuclear energy.

D. support the idea that nuclear energy is not safe.

33. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.

A. the Japanese commentator is positive about the future of nuclear energy.

B. the nuclear energy issue will be soon settled.

C. a battle will break out in the future.

D. Japan is considering to build a nuclear village in the future.

34. What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?

A. To highlight the danger of using nuclear energy.

B. To introduce some serious nuclear disasters.

C. To show the argument between nuclear supporters and protesters.

D. To give some advice on how to use nuclear energy safely.

35. Which county decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022?

A. Japan

B. China

C. American

D. Germany

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by

some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C

评卷人

and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Nuclear

energy

has

always

been

controversial.

But

since

the

tsunami

and

nuclear

disaster

in

Fukushima (Japan) last year 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. Switzerland and Italy

are also phasing out nuclear power. But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic

energy. In fact, almost 80% of France’s electricity comes from nuc

lear 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.

Unlike

fossil

fuels,

nuclear

power doesn’t create greenhouse gases. So, pro

-nuclear 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.

He

recently

said

that

the

world

doesn’t

have

the

luxury

of

ignoring

nuclear energy.

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. This higher
