If you want to know why Denmark is the world’s leader in wind power, start with a three-hour car trip from the capital Copenhagen to the small town of Lem on the far west coast of Jutland. You’ 11 feel it as you cross the 6.8 km-long Great Belt Bridge: Denmark’s bountiful wind, so fierce. But wind itself is only part of the reason. In Lem, workers in factories the size of aircraft hangars build the wind turbines. Most impressive are the turbine’s blades, which scoop the wind with each sweeping revolution.
But technology, like the wind itself, is just one more part of the reason for Denmark’s dominance. In the end, it happened because Denmark had the political and public will to decide that it wanted to be a leader—and to follow through. Beginning in 1979, the government began a determined programme of subsidies and loan guarantees to build up its wind industry. It also mandated that utilities purchase wind energy at a preferential price—thus guaranteeing investors a customer base.
As a result, wind turbines now dot Denmark. The country gets more than 19% of its electricity from the breeze and Danish companies control one-third of the global wind market, earning billions in exports and creating a national champion from scratch.
The challenge now for Denmark is to help the rest of the world catch up. With Copenhagen set to host all-important U.N. climate change talks in December—where the world hopes for a successor to the expiring Kyoto Protocol,
Denmark’s example couldn’t be more timely
. "We’ ll try to make Denmark a showroom," says Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. "You can reduce energy use and carbon emissions, and achieve economic growth."
It’ s tempting to assume that Denmark is innately green, but the country’ s policies were actually born from a different emotion, one now in common currency: fear. When the 1973 oil crisis hit, 90% of Denmark’s energy came from petroleum, almost all of it imported. Denmark launched a rapid drive for energy conservation. Eventually the Danes themselves began enjoying the benefits of the petroleum and natural gas in their slice of the North Sea. It was enough to make them more than self-sufficient. But Denmark never forgot the lessons of 1973, and kept driving for greater energy efficiency and a more diversified energy supply.
To the rest of the world, Denmark has the power of its example, showing that you can stay rich and grow green at the same time. "Denmark has proven that acting on climate can be a positive experience, not just painful." says NRDC’ s Schmidt.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
选项
A、Not to save energy could bring about severe consequences.
B、Energy saving cannot go together with economic development.
C、Energy saving efforts can be painful as well as positive.
D、Denmark can lead powerfully in the global wind market.
答案
B
解析
通过最后一段首句Denmark has the power of its example,showing that you can stay rich and grow green at the same time可知.B项“节约能源不能与经济发展相结合”表述与原文相悖。A项“不节约能源会带来严重后果”符合文意,因为作者旨在通过介绍丹麦的例子宣扬节能环保的益处和必要性。通过文章最后一段中Denmark has proven that acting on climate can be a positive experience,not just painful可知,C项“节能的努力也可能是痛苦的, 也可能是积极的”符合文意。通过文章首段If you want to know why Denmark is the world’s leader in wind power,…可知,D项“丹麦可以在全球风能市场上强势领先”符合文意,故选B。
