Unit 4Energy and SustainabilityViewing and speaking11-5: T F T F F211990s2 1.5 million; 27%380%-95%; 50% ; 80%435 billion510 thousand640%TranscriptGermany is in transition. One of the world’s largest economies is pursuing an ambitious goal ‒ switching to renewable energy. For the complete transformation of its energy infrastructure, the German energy market is entering a new age. Intelligent ideas, resolute action, and political will have made Germany a frontrunner.Since the early 1990s, both companies and citizens have been investing in solar, wind and bio-energy power plants. These investments are supported by an attractive and stable legal framework. Germany’s energy revolution is well underway and moving forward with great momentum. More than 1.5 million renewable power plants have been installed in Germany over the past 25 years. A world record! Renewables now produce over 27% of the electricity consumed in Germany. But this is just the beginning. Germany’s energy transition is pursuing ambitious goals. It’s planned that by 2050 the emission of greenhouse gases will have been reduced by 80%-95%. To achieve this, energy consumption will be reduced by 50% and at least 80% ofelectricity will come from renewables.Off-shore wind, on-shore wind and solar are the future pillars of Germany’s energy supply. Sun and wind are fluctuating energy sources. Variations in generation caused by the weather must be balanced out. This means integrating renewable energy into the energy infrastructure is the main challenge. The existing electricity grid needs to be adapted and grid participants need to be able to communicate in an intelligent network ‒ a smart grid. More storage capacity for renewable energy needs to be built, and large investments will be needed to improve energy efficiency further.The fluctuating supply of electricity from renewables requires upgrades to be made to the entire power grid. An investment of over 35 billion euros is planned for the construction of high-voltage transmission lines, electricity autobahns from the wind-rich north to major industrial regions. Large investments are also planned for the local distribution grids as well as for new communication technologies that will quickly identify any bottlenecks.Energy storage systems are another key to integrating and using renewable energy optimally. Large battery systems already helped stabilize the grid by compensating for fluctuations in real time. The falling cost of solar power is making energy storage increasingly attractive for private households too. This led to around 10 thousand solar battery systems being installed in German households in 2014 alone.Increasing energy efficiency in all sectors is another pillar of the energy transition. Germany is one of the world’s leading industrial nations in this field. The country already consumes less primary energy than 25 years ago. Energy consumption is becoming increasingly decoupled from economic growth. Buildings account for around 40% of Germany’s energy consumption, most of which is used for heating. The federal government offers unique incentives for upgrading the energy performance of buildings. World-leading German research institutes and universities work closely with industry to bring innovations to the market. Whether for wind or solar power, greater integration, energy storage or energy efficiency, Germany is home to outstanding research and development facilities.21Solar energy can be used directly for various purposes; wind energy, hydropower and bioenergy all come indirectly from the sun.2In the place where I live, solar water heaters are installed on the roofs of the buildings, providing hot water for the shower. In the neighboring community, solar panels are installed outside the walls of buildings, right under the windows of each apartment. In the nearby park where I usually take a walk after dinner, thelights are also powered by the sun.3clean energyClean energy is the energy that can be extracted, generated and consumed without any significant negative impact on the environment, collected from renewable resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat. It provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating / cooling, transportation, and rural energy services.Clean energy is one of the key pillars of sustainable development in that it helps reduce dependence on fossil fuel resources, provide opportunities for mitigating greenhouse gases, and serve the needs of the present without compromising the sustainability of future generations to meet their energy needs.Extensive reading111)Our electricity sector has gone through dramatic changes;2)We’re clearly in a time of unparalleled transformation;3) A clean energy future is one we want to make certain not to miss.21)Power plants like solar and wind ones require no fuel delivery;2)Don’t have to worry about air or water pollution, or water use, or catastrophicfailures;3)Be able to spend more energy dollars on people;4)Meet energy demand with less energy with efficient lighting, motors, andappliances.31)Clean energy means jobs in manufacturing, installation, servicing, etc.; it canmean revenues for communities and landowners who host renewable energy;2)People want healthy air and clean water for their communities and their kids;3)We can find leadership and support in a range of places and colors.41)There is plenty we can do for the grid. A range of new technologies andapproaches are letting us be much more active participants in making the electricity grid work for all.2)Harnessing the power of sunbeams and silicon, we can turn our roofs into minipower plants, and generate electricity not just to meet our own needs but to help utilities and the local electricity grids meet peak power demands on hot, sunny days.21)challenges2)opportunities3)we want to make certain not to miss4)easier route5)from across the political spectrum6) a solid majority of7)affordable rooftop solar8)electricity supplies9)purpose and direction10)postpone11)win3Examples:1)energy price volatility2)supply-demand imbalance3)energy poverty4)energy security5)greenhouse effect6)environmental problems41清洁能源2激动人心的雄辩言辞3能源转型4着眼于过去5经历巨变6弄清7新的商业模式8金融工程9燃料运输10灾难性后果11选民登记表12广泛吸引力13许多地方14无论15就职演讲16小型发电厂17发电18满足我们自己的需要19用电需要高峰期20放手去做21树立远大目标22恪守23肯尼迪诞辰100周年纪念日24史无前例的大变革时代25电力供需关系26不同政治派别的人27绝大部分美国人28分布式能源技术51 a solid majority of students in the class2has gone through dramatic changes over the past two decades 3 a wide range of facilities4regardless of age5meet the needs of young learners6must live by my rulesIntensive reading1 F2 F3 F4 T5 T6 T7 T8 F111)If you try to push a boulder, it pushes you back.2)Once you’ve started the boulder rolling, it develops momentum.3) A football player moving at speed has a lot of momentum.4)In a sports team or a presidential campaign, everybody relishes having the “BigMo”.21)They are unbelievably expensive.2)They are built to last for a very long time.3)They have a huge amount of inertia.4)They have a lot of momentum once they’re set in motion.31)momentum2)inertia21) a light bulb2)the bulb and its fixture3)rooms and entire buildings4)be trained5)energy workers6)training programs7)costly installations8)lengthy life spans9)have been recovered31)previous energy transitions2)inertia and momentum11-5: b e f g c6-10: j a d i h21-5: B B B B B6-10: C B B A B31possibility2resistant3painful4regulator5subsequent6builder7lengthily8investment9continual10promoter41feasible2outdoor3motion4array5span6distribution51moving object2the state of motion3move at speed4kinetic energy5presidential campaign 6energy transition7aircraft carrier8incandescent light bulb 9change a light bulb10desk lamp11in accordance with12carry out13be laid off14in the right sequence 15in some cases16training program17come into play18the life span19recover the cost20go into commercial service21in an unprecedented manner22gasoline-powered car23electric car24fluorescent light61Once you’ve started the boulder rolling, it develops momentum, which is defined by its mass and velocity.2Consider the incandescent bulb, a current object of hatred of many environmentalists and energy-efficiency advocates.3The incandescent light bulb, which came to be the symbol of inspiration, has been developed into hundreds, if not thousands, of forms.4It’s easy to change a light bulb, but it’s harder to change the bulb and its fixture.5Not only do our prospective new energy workers have to be trained, they have to be trained in the right sequence.6In some cases, colleges and universities might have to change their training programs, adding another layer of difficulty.7The oldest continuously operated commercial hydroelectric plant in the United States is on New York’s Hudson River, and it went into commercial service in 1898.71There may be problems if responsibilities are not clearly defined.2She was asked to do the after-sales service; that is, she had to tune the pianos for the customers in their homes.3Good communication is key to our success.4The influence of new housing policies reaches far beyond the housing market itself.5He came to realize he was only a puppet.6The store offers a dazzling array of garden tools.7It is one thing to announce spending cuts, but it’s another thing to carry them out. 8Given that she is fond of children), I am sure teaching is the right career for her.9This is by far the biggest study in this field.Academic writing11claimed2perform3revolutionize4estimate5observe6identified7possess8provide21interpret2discriminate3accelerate4clarify5recognize6measure7characterize8yield31being2component3topic4incident5item6factor11Paragraph 1 shows unity of a paragraph. It focuses on the topic: a quantitative measure of the quality of life.2Paragraph 2 lacks unity in that the last three sentences, covering different topics such as civilization and culture, deviate from the topic of this paragraph: a quantitative measure of the quality of life. Paragraph 3 also lacks unity. The last two sentences deal with another topic: the relationship between the quality of life and per capita electricity consumption.21Paragraph 4:Recent scientific evidence shows that major and widespread climate changes have occurred with startling speed.Paragraph 5: Onshore wind has the advantage of being one of the most affordable renewable energy sources.2Paragraph 4Cross out: Preventing catastrophic climate changes is, at its core, an energy challenge. We human beings should make concerted efforts to face the challenge.Paragraph 5Cross out: Some emissions are created by the manufacture, transportation and installation of wind turbines, but these are considered fairly low.3Paragraph 6: … // None of these problems of dependence …Sharing1The pie chart illustrates China’s energy mix in 2016. As is shown in the chart, fossil fuels remain the principal energy sources, accounting for 87% of overall energy consumption in China. In contrast, renewable and nuclear energy make up only 4%, and the remaining 9% of energy comes from hydropower.The uneven distribution of different energy sources in the energy mix can also be seen within fossil fuels: coal constitutes 62% of the total, whereas only 6 percent of energy is generated from natural gas.2Obviously, a more balanced energy mix is needed for good reasons: environmental protection, sustainable development, energy security, and welfare of future generations. Specifically, we need to reduce the burning of fossil fuels, especially coal, so as to cut carbon emissions that lead to air pollutions and climate change. In the meantime, renewable energy like solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy should be promoted to meet the increasing energy demand of society.。
