课时提能练(三十六).阅读理解A(2019石家庄检测)Flat Holm is a picturesque landmass located in Britains Bristol Channel. The areas low energy needs have therefore been fulfilled by using oldfashioned solar panels(太阳能电池板) and diesel generator(柴油发电机). The beautiful island is now, however, becoming increasingly popular with tourists wishing to explore the rural landscape and view the islands seabird colonies.Though this is welcome news, meeting the islands growing energy needs without damaging its environment has been a challenge. Flat Holm team leader Natalie Taylor says, “Its really important that we have a really high functioning system. From an environmental point of view, we want to reduce the use of diesel generators so that we can have as small an ecological footprint as possible.”Fortunately, UKbased startup Renovagen had the perfect solution. The companys Rapid Roll Solar PV system consists of flexible solar panels that can be unrolled like a carpet from a trailer(拖车)within two minutes and instantly put to work. According to the company, a small panel can provide 11kW of power.The technology is the brainchild of Renovagens Managing Director John Hingley, who came up with the idea after seeing something used as a backup battery for mobile devices about five years ago. In addition to being easy to unfold, the rollable panels are also more costeffective to transport. Hingley says, “Compared with traditional rigid panels, we can fit up to 10 times the power in this size container.”The solar panel “carpets”， laid on the island in early October, are being used to provide electricity to its pub and lighthouse. In addition to providing power to remote islands like Flat Holm, Hingley hopes the Rapid Roll technology will be useful in areas affected by natural disasters. A good example is Puerto Rico, where most people have been without electricity since Hurricane Maria destroyed the power lines.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Renovagen公司发明的快速太阳能光伏系统，这种系统不仅给Flat Holm带来了能源，还有利于保护它的环境。1What leads to Flat Holms increasing energy needs?A. Its growing number of tourists.B. Its remote location.C. The damage to its environment.D. The power system failure.A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Flat Holm吸引了越来越多的游客，再结合第二段中的“Though this is welcome news，meeting the islands growing energy needs without damaging its environment has been a challenge”可知，游客的增多导致了Flat Holm日益增长的能源需求。2Where does the difficulty lie to increase energy supply to Flat Holm?A. Reusing diesel generators.B. Protecting its environment.C. Abandoning old solar panels.D. Reducing the transport cost.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“without damaging its environment has been a challenge.From an environmental point of view，we want to reduce the use of diesel generators so that we can have as small an ecological footptrint as possible”可知，要增加Flat Holm的能源供应，困难在于保护环境。3How do the new solar panels differ from the old ones?A. They cost less.B. They are smaller.C. They are portable.D. They are hard to operate.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The companys Rapid Roll Solar PV system consists of flexible solar panels that can be unrolled like a carpet from a trailer(拖车) within two minutes and instantly put to work”及第四段中的“In addition to being easy to unfold”“Compared with traditional rigid panels，we can fit up to 10 times the power in this size container”可知，新的太阳能电池板的不同之处在于它们是便携的。4What gave Hingley inspiration of the Rapid Roll technology?A. A natural disaster.B. A similar invention.C. His life on the island.D. Traditional rigid panels.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The technology is the brainchild of Renovagens Managing Director John Hingley，who came up with the idea after seeing something used as a backup battery for mobile devices about five years ago”可知，让John Hingley获得快速太阳能光伏系统的灵感的是一个类似的发明。B(2019兰州实战考试)Qomolangma，known as Mount Everest in the West，once negatively recognized as the“worlds highest junkyard”，is set to become cleaner as 30,000 porters(搬运工) have been mobilized(动员) for waste collection and disposal from the mountains southern side.The cleanup drive was launched recently near Lukla Airport，the worlds most dangerous airport yet a vital gateway to the worlds highest peak.“Our major task is to keep Everest，which is the pride of the world，clean.This campaign aims to transport 100 tons of nonburnable garbage from the Everest region to Kathmandu in 2018, ”Ang Dorje Sherpa，chairman of the Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee(SPCC) said.The SPCC，an environmental conservation organization，has made it mandatory(强制的) since 2013 that every climber should carry down 8 kilograms of trash，but for trekkers there is no such regulation.Due to this，more than 100 tons of waste gets collected in the region annually.According to Nepalese government statistics，nearly 50,000 domestic and foreign trekkers visit the Qomolangma region annually，while more than 400 mountaineers attempt to scale the peak.The collected waste mostly includes empty beer bottles and cans，oxygen bottles，torn tents and sleeping bags，food bins，and discarded mountaineering and trekking equipment.The trash was collected by local groups in more than a dozen villages while the waste was transported down the mountain in sacks(麻布大袋) by porters and yakhybrid animals known as zopkyos.The cleanup covered settlements from up to 5,000 meters near the base camp，to Lukla Airport located at an altitude of 2,845 meters.On the first day of the campaign，several tons of waste was sent off to Kathmandu from Lukla on planes belonging to Tara Airlines，one of the leading private airlines in Nepal.The airlines have set an ambitious target of flying out 100 tons of waste from the region in 2018，as a part of its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals against climate change.The companys CEO Umesh Chandra Rai said.“We hope that this campaign will help the local people to maintain a pristine(处于原始状态的)，natural and unspoiled environment so that more trekkers will come from everywhere，making the trekking industry here more sustainable.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了尼泊尔发起的垃圾清理活动。5Whats the first paragraph mainly about? AThe basic situation of Mount Everest. BThe introduction of the cleanup campaign. CThe unique way to prevent environment pollution.
