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.
According to Mr. Gretz, the present sum of money will enable the scientists to provide ______.
选项
A、less than 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000
B、3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000
C、a little more than 3% of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000
D、only 3% of the EEC’s needs even after the year 2000
答案
A
解析
细节理解题。本题询问根据西德科学家Mr.Joachim Gretz,told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three percent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000.”明确说明按照目前的科研预算,即使是到了2000年后,太阳能也只能满足欧共体能源需要的3%不到。因此A项内容“(使科学家)在2000年前为欧共体提供不足3%的对太阳能的需要”符合文章内容。其他三项内容明显与文中第二段的第一句内容不符。
