In a speech this week to the Institute of Civil Engineering, the Prime Minister, David Cameron, made clear his support for wind energy. He focused on some of the many advantages of developing the industry.
Let’s examine those reasons. It is an abundant, clean and sustainable source of energy, reducing our dependence on expensive fossil fuel imports, increasingly from politically unstable parts of the globe. Let’s not forget that Russia turned off the gas supply to Europe in 2006. More recently, we have all felt the pain this winter, when international gas prices soared by 40% pared to last year. Should we carry on exposing ourselves to the instability（不稳定） of global energy prices and the unpredictability of global events, or should we recognize the value of taking control of our energy supply?
As for the economic opportunities, over the last decade wind energy has attracted $5 billion in investment（投资）to the UK and is set to go above $50 billion by 2020. Look at the panies queuing up to build wind turbine (涡轮) factories in the UK, such as Siemens and Vestas. Examine the number of people employed in the wind industry in the UK—nearly 12000, now with nearly 90000 jobs by 2021.
The UK is already the global leader in wind power, with greater ability than anywhere else in the world—enough to supply more than a million homes with electricity all year round—and the government is calling for an increase by eight times in the amount of wind turbines installed by 2020, which the industry can achieve as long as it gets the right level of support from ministers. In return, as well as bring the environmental benefits of clean energy, the wind industry is mitted to save consumers a lot of money.
24. The writer uses the example of Russia to prove that______. A. international gas price is not always stable
B. there exists the unpredictability of global events C. there are conflicts between Europe and Russia D. every nation is badly in need of gas
25. What does the underlined word “soared” mean? A. Set.
B. Dropped.
C. Cancelled.
D. Rose.
36. What can we know from Paragraph 4?
A. Many job opportunities are created by wind industry. B. The UK would not accept many panies’ investment.
C. Over the last ten years the UK has attracted little investment. D. Other industries are less important than wind industry.
27. What is the most important thing for the government to achieve its goal by 2020? A. Attracting more investment.
B. Getting enough support from ministers. C. Improving the technology a lot.
D. Listing the advantages of wind power to the public. C
Women are overtaking men in education and in the workplace, a senior Government minister said yesterday – creating a new generation of stay-at-home fathers.
Universities minister David Willetts predicted relationships and traditional household structures will be transformed as the female’s power ahead, and women earn more than their male partners.
Successful women will have to “marry down” by choosing partners less qualified than them – and may increasingly select men based on how supportive they might be to their careers, rather than whether they can support them financially.
And experts say women will often bee the main breadwinners, with more men staying at home to look after children.
Mr. Willetts said there was clear evidence from schools that boys are “lagging behind”, and are being overtaken by female students at university．He said: “I am not against women having those advantages but there is now a rather striking gap, if you look at the statistics, where it looks as if approximately 50 percent of women are graduating from university by the time they’re 30 and perhaps about 40 percent of men.” He added: “It may lead to changes in the patterns of household living．So there are some deep questions here.”
The Philadelphia-based Pew Research Centre study, published in The Atlantic magazine,
suggests female graduates are being put in similar situation to that faced for some time by black women．In America, 70 percent of black women have no husband and there are twice as many black women as black men with university degrees.
Many educated British women believe there is already a dearth of traditional husbands．Claire Davis, 33, who works in financial services and lives in south London, told The Times: “I have a good job and my own flat and I can pretty much do what I want, but a lot of them I meet aren't really of the right quality. If I look at the friends I went to university with, the men don't tend to be doing as well as the women.”
28．David Willetts’ attitude toward women’s overtaking men in education and in the workplace
could be described as . A．worried B．positive
C．supportive
D．excited
29．Claire Davis’ example is used to indicate that .
A．a lot of women prefer to be single B．black women do not want to be married C．women are less excellent than men in general
D．excellent women have difficulty in looking for a good husband
30．The underlined word “dearth” in the last paragraph most probably means .
A．shortage B．respect
C．oversupply
D．pride
31．The best title of this passage would probably be .
A．Successful Women Forced to “Marry Down” B．A Poor Generation of Stay-at-home Fathers C．The Marriages’ Influence on Economy
D．The Advantages of the Traditional Family Pattern
D
