A breakthrough in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.
The senior West German scientist in charge of the community’s solar energy program, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told jurnalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three percent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.
Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three percent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion bounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.
At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centers, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies.
The underlined phrase" be brought forward" (Para. 1) most probably means ______.
选项
A、be advanced
B、be completed
C、be expected
D、be introduced
答案
A
解析
大意判断题。本题需要根据上下文推断出be brought forward这一词组的意思。在“A break-through in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community could be brought forward by up to two decades…”一句中,be brought forward的动作的对象是a breakthrough(突破),同时be brought forward的程度是by up to two decades,由此可判断be brought forward应具有“使一种突破提前多至20年实现”的意义,四个选项中只有选项A:be advanced与此意义相近,故选项A为正确答案。“A breakthrough could be expected/be introduced/competed by up to two decades”在意义上不通,故选项B,C和选项D也不正确。
