The government has decided to build a nuclear power station at Longbeach, an isolated fishing village. A group of demonstrators opposed to nuclear power has occupied the Longbeach site and is refusing to leave until the government changes its decision. The local TV station has interviewed several people including Bob, the demonstrator’s spokesman. They have been asked to give their views on nuclear power. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each people to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Peter White:
We’re facing a serious energy crisis. All known reserves of coal, oil and gas will be exhausted within ten years. It is imperative that we develop new sources of energy immediately. Nuclear power is the answer to our problems. If we don’t build nuclear power station now, our civilization will collapse.
Bob Robin:
We can’t allow this power station to be built. I’ll tell you why. It would cause terrible damage to the environment and all living creatures in the district would be in great danger. A small leak could cause a disaster. It is our duty as responsible citizens to force the government to abandon their nuclear energy program.
Mark Brewer:
This power station will be absolutely safe. They’ll be no danger of leakage because the reactor will be housed in a concrete box with wails six meters thick. Five independent alarm systems will monitor every square centimeter of the power station to prevent fire or sabotage. People are afraid of nuclear power because they don’t understand it. We must educate them. Nuclear power is clean, quiet, cheap and pollution-free, unlike conventional power using gas, oil and coal. Furthermore, it is almost unlimited.
Harry Wells:
I used to believe nuclear power stations were safe. But last month-1 saw a top-secret government report which revealed at least five major leaks in the last two years. In each case, the alarm systems afraid and there could have been a disaster. Scientists have too much faith in their own ideas and have helped the government to deceive the public. I think it’s time that the truth was told. Nuclear power stations are indeed very dangerous.
Joe Forest:
I think the government is placing too much emphasis on nuclear power. I mean, it’ll take many more years of experimentation before the safety problem alone is overcome. In the meantime, I think we should develop other ways of taking energy from the earth, such as sunshine, or the tide, waves, rivers, hot springs, etc. There are lots of alternative forms of energy. They are cheaper, safer and more convenient than nuclear power.
Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.
Note: There are two extra statements.
Statements
A. People have put nuclear energy to constructive uses, and also have put it to destructive uses.
B. Other ways of taking energy should be developed until the safety problem associated with nuclear power is overcome.
C. People should be educated to know that there’ll be no danger of leakage of nuclear power and that it is not like conventional power.
D. Without nuclear power stations human society would stop functioning.
E. Nuclear energy is safe when it is controlled and it can be made a useful form of energy.
F. The government should tell the public the truth that nuclear power stations are indeed very dangerous.
G. Nuclear power can cause terrible damage to the environment and put all living creatures in great danger.
Bob Robin
选项
答案
G
