答案:
1-4CABB
1.正确答案:
C
解析:
考查理解文章基本信息的能力。
根据文章第一、二段信息可知,新闻发布的信息主要包括:
1)美国大规模地使用风能发电会引起温室效应,需要一个世纪才能消除这些温室效应,因此选项B、D包涵在内;2)风能发电引起的气温升高可以和全球变暖相提并论,因此选项A也包涵在内。
选项C没有提及,因此本题正确答案为C。
2.正确答案:
A
解析:
考查根据上下文理解词语的能力。
该词所在句子的意思是,“首先,该研究假定了一个情景,即美国三分之一的领土都被风力涡轮机覆盖,”由此可推测出该词的意思和“takeforgranted”意思相近,因此正确答案为A。
3.正确答案:
B
解析:
考查理解文章基本信息的能力。
根据第五段可知,该研究基于一个有明显缺陷的模型,言下之意就是不可靠的模型,因此正确答案为B。
该研究假设了几个不现实的情景,而不是理想的情景(“It’sacrazyscenariothat’snevergoing tohappen),因此选项A是错误的;该研究考虑了其他因素,但只是轻描淡写,一笔带过(Someofthesepointsarestatedinthepaper,buttheyareburiedtwo-thirdsofthewaythroughit.Theyarenotmadeclearinthepressrelease),因此选项D是错误的;选项C在文中没有提及,因此也是错误的。
4.正确答案:
B
解析:
考查归纳和概括文章主旨大意的能力。
根据最后一段可知,CristinaArcher认为,新闻发布的信息给风能带来了坏名声,会误导人们以为风能发电会造成全球变暖,由此可判断她是支持和捍卫风能的。
因此正确答案为B。
答案:
II.

2. Becausethemodelcanleadtotheresultdesiredbytheexpertsandtheyhopetodrawthepublic’sattentiontotheimpactoflarge-scalewindgenerationbyexaggeratingtheimpactofwindpower.
