(2014·福建卷)

As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe，few issues cause greater

concern than energy policy.Many village communities feel their countryside is being

ruined by the power­producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take“direct

action”，even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage.And the

generous subsidies(财政补贴)，which encourage the expansion of wind power，are not

favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other

residents (居民)．

Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage

they cause is out of proportion (比例) to the benefits they bring，because their energy

output cannot match that of the carbon­based power stations they are supposed to

replace.Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables，nuclear and

carbon，and that the country is committed to meeting EU (European Union) targets for

non­carbon energy generation.

Against this background，the fact that there is an argument within the government

over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside

becomes even more extraordinary.The two parties in the coalition (联合) government

are in disagreement over what it should say.

We have some advice for the two parties：publish the report，and let the country

be the judge.Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful，it will hardly

be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them.Equally，supporters must argue

their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced

or worthy of much attention.

The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce

an“acceptable”report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing

the country harm in a certain way.Given the sensitivities involved，all the

information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions，rather than being left with the suspicion (猜疑) that facts are being replaced by

political beliefs.

语篇导读：本文是一篇议论文。政府出台了一项新的政策要拓展风力农场，由此引起了人们的激烈争论。反对的人说它带来的破坏与它带来的利益不成比例；支持的人说它应该成 3 为可再生能源的一部分。而在政府内部两党派对这一问题的看法也存在着分歧。最后作者提出让人们自己来作决定。

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that________.

A．energy policy catches much attention of the public

B．the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms

C．many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies

D．the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents

答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的第一句．..few issues cause greater

concern than energy policy.可知，“政府出台的能源政策引起了公众极大的关注”，因此A项符合文意。第一段中没有提到B项“居民们支持风力农场的拓展”；第一段中提到了补贴，但根据第一段中的And the generous subsidies(财政补贴)．..are not favorable...set

landowners in conflict with other residents(居民)．可知C项错误；根据第一段中的．..even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage.可知，这项法律不能给居民们带来极大的利益，相反将其置于一种不利的境地，因此D项是错误的。

2.Supporters think that the expansion of wind power________.

A．is more rapid than that of carbon­based power

B．guarantees an increase in energy output

C．is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power
