问题
Read the following articles in which five people talked about the problem of energy. For questions 61 to 65, match name of each speaker to one of the statements ( a to g) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Stanley:
The world’s energy resources are limited. Nobody knows how much fuel is left, but pessimistic forecasts say that there is only enough coal for 450 years, enough natural gas for 50 years and that oil might run out in 30 years. Obviously we have to do something, and we have to do it soon.
Taylor:
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are rapidly running out. The tragedy is that fossil fuels are far too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. Nuclear power is the only real alternative. We are getting some electricity from nuclear power stations already. If we invest in further research now, we’ll be ready to face the future. There’s been a lot of protest lately against nuclear power - some people will protest at anything - but nuclear power - stations are not as dangerous as some people say. It’s far more dangerous to work down a coal - mine. In many parts of the world where there are no fossil fuels, nuclear power is the only alternative. If you accept that we need electricity, then we will need nuclear energy.
Orwell:
I totally disagree with Taylor. Let’s first look at the facts. First, there is no perfect machine. I mean, why do planes crash? Machines crash. People make mistakes. What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? And an accident must be inevitable - sooner or later. Radioactivity causes cancer and may affect future generations. Next, nuclear waste. There is no technology for absolutely safe disposal. Some of this waste will remain active for thousands of years. Is that what you want to leave to your children? And their children’s children?
Moore:
I’d like to begin by agreeing with Orwell. We can develop alternative sources of power, and unless we try we’ll never succeed. Instead of burning fossil fuels we should be concentrating on more economic uses of electricity, because electricity can be produced from any sources of energy. If we didn’t waste so much energy, our resources would last longer. You can save more energy by conservation than you can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy, wind power, tidal power, etc, our fossil fuels will run out, and we’ll all freeze or starve to death. Don’t forget that energy from the sun, the waves and the wind lasts for ever. We really won’t survive unless westart working on cleaner, safer sources of energy.
Bright:
I don’t agree with some of the estimates of world energy reserves. More oil and gas is being discovered all the time. If we listened to the pessimists, none of us would sleep at night. In the short term, we must continue to rely on the fossil fuels--oil, coal and gas. But we must also look to the future. Our policy must be flexible. Unless we thought new research was necessary, we wouldn’t be spending money on it. The big question is where to spend the money—on conservation of present resources or on research into new forms of power.
Now match each of the people ( 1 to 5 ) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Nuclear power should be the safest power to resort to.
[B] Terrorists could hold the nation to ransom if they captured a reactor.
[C] Something must be done to deal with the approaching energy crisis.
[D] It is more important to save energy by conservation than to produce energy with the same amount of money.
[E] The world will not run out of energy resources. There will alwaysbe some alternatives.
[F] Nuclear power is dangerous in its production and disposal.
[G] Nuclear power is the only alternative in order to conserve fossil fuel.
