A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the Sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) 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 programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent 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 per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds 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 centres, and another $ 3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、The EEC spends one billion pounds on imported energy each year.
B、At the present level of research spending it is difficult to make any significant progress in the provision of energy from the Sun.
C、The desired breakthrough could be obtained by the end of the next decade if investment were increased.
D、The total yearly spending of the EEC on solar energy research amounted to almost 6 million
答案
A
解析
本题是一道判断是非题。问下面四个选项中哪一个与原文内容不符。针对每一个选择项利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章第二段中找到与选项B和选项C相关的内容。在文章的第四段中可以找到与选项D有关的信息。只有A“欧洲经济共同体每年花费在进口能源方面的费用是10亿英镑”与原文不符。本文第三段第一句话中虽出现了a billion potands和imported energy,但这里说的是节余saving而不是花费spending。所以,本题的正确答案应该是A。
