d. the paintings on the wall.bin the early days of nuclear power, the united states make money on it. but today opponents (反对者) have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years.the greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”. today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten u.s. public health are very little. but to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. now general electric is already building two advanced reactors in japan. but dont expect them even on u.s. shores unless things change in washington. the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a stop while the matter is investigated or taken to court. meanwhile, the builder must add nicebutnotnecessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. in every case when a plant has been opposed, the nuclear regulation commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. but the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.a case in point is the shoreham plant on new yorks long island. shoreham was a virtual twin to the millstone plant in connecticut, both ordered in the mid-60s. millstone, completed for 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and delayed its use for many years.shoreham finally won its operation license. but the plant has never produced a watt power. governor mario cuomo, an opponent of a shoreham start-up, used his power to force new yorks public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.59. the authors attitude toward the development of nuclear power is _.a. negative b. neutral c. positive d. questioning 60. what has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?a. the inefficiency of the nuclear regulation commission.b. the enormous cost of construction and operation.c. the length of time it takes to make investigations.d. the objection of the opponents of nuclear power.61. it can be inferred from paragraph 2 that _.a. there are not enough safety measures in the u.s. for running new nuclear power plantsb. it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the u.s.c. there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the u.s.d. the american government wont allow japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the u.s.62. governor mario cuomos chief intention in proposing the settlement was to _.a. stop the shoreham plant from going into operationb. urge the power company to further increase its power supplyc. permit the shoreham plant to operate under certain conditionsd. help the power company to solve its financial problemsci was puzzled! why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse which was of no use to anybody? she had written letters to the local paper, even to a national, protesting about a projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasnt as if the area was attractive. i was more than puzzled, i was curious. the enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly, and i wanted to know what it was that motivated her. so it was that i found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by mary smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods. “ive always loved this place,” she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. we all used it. they called it lovers lane. its not much of a lane, and it doesnt go anywhere important, but thats why we all came here. to be away from people, to be by ourselves. ” she added. it was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. squirrels watched from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. i could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so i felt that she probably had something there but as i hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, i said nothing. the village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old womans strange ideas. “take this tree,” she said pausing after a short while. “to you it is just that, a tree. not unlike many others here.” she gently touched the bark, “look here, under this branch, what can you see?” “it looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife.” i said after a cursory inspection. “yes, thats what it is!” she said softly. she went on, “he had a penknife with a spike for getting stones from a horses hoof, and i helped him to carve them. we were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. i had guessed of course. it was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his unit.” mary smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed. “his mother showed me the telegram. sergeant r holmes killed in action in the invasion of france.”“i had hoped that you and robin would one day get married.” she said, “he was my only child, and i would have loved to be a granny, they would have been such lovely babies- she was like that! ”“two years later she too was dead. pneumonia (肺炎), following a chill on the chest was what the doctor said, but i think it was an old fashioned broken heart. a child would have helped both of us.” there was a further pause. mary smith gently caressed the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. “and now they want to take our tree away from me.” another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “i was young and pretty then, i could have had anybody, i wasnt always the old woman you see here now. i had everything i wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to look forward to.” she paused again and looked around. the breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “there were others, of course, but no one can match my robin!” she said strongly. “and now i have nothing - except the memories this tree holds. if only i could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, i would tell him. has he never loved
