问题 The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45 , you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes. Paragraphs A and G have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)
[A]The main reason for the shift is climate change. As it has risen up the political agenda, the impetus for a nuclear revival has grown. More and more respected voices have been making the case that nuclear energy is essential if the rate of change is to be slowed. As a result, there is an unlikely alliance between the nuclear industry and many environmentalists, as a growing number of greens have come to believe that nuclear energy is the best way to reduce carbon emissions. Industry lobbyists are finding support from unexpected areas. Keith Parker of the Nuclear Industry Association, a British trade group, points to a recent quote from James Lovelock, a founder of Greenpeace: " Only nuclear power can halt global warming. "
[B]Now western governments are increasingly looking anew at nuclear energy. A few weeks ago TVO, a Finnish consortium, started work on the first new nuclear plant to be built on either side of the Atlantic in a decade. Pertti Simola, TVO’s chief executive, proclaims that,"Finland has opened the door to a new nuclear era! Many western countries will come behind us. "
[C]But lately, things have brightened for the nuclear industry. In Asia, which never turned against it in the way the West did, the prospects are excellent. China already has nine nuclear reactors, and is planning to commission a further 30. New capacity is being built or considered in India, Japan and South Korea. Russia has several plants under construction.
[D]France’s parliament has recently given its approval for a new nuclear plant. Guillaume Dureau of Areva, the world’s largest nuclear supplier, captures the dizzy mood that has overtaken vendors; "We are pretty convinced of a nuclear revival and we need to prepare for it, we need to hire 1 ,000 engineers.
[E]Nor was safety the only worry: there were financial problems too. British Energy, Britain’s nuclear energy operator, required successive government assistance. Britain also recently finalized a ￡ 50 billion scheme to deal with the nuclear-waste liabilities of British Nuclear Fuels(BNFL), an inept reprocessor of nuclear waste.
[F]Despite its earlier frustrations, the nuclear industry is still a sizeable business. In 2004 Areva had sales of $8. 2 billion. That figure includes mining uranium, designing power plants and repro-ceas-ing waste fuel. General Electric’s nuclear division, which designs and builds plants hut does not handle fuel or waste, turned over about $1.1 billion last year. Westinghouse, an American brand currently owned by BNFL, which recently put it up for sale, had sates of around ￡1.1 billion.
[G]Things have not gone well for the nuclear industry over the past quarter century or so. First came the Three Mile Island accident in America in 1979, then the disaster at the Chernobyl plant in Ukraine in 1986. In Japan, Tokyo Electric Power, the world’s largest private electricity company, shut its 17 nuclear reactors after it was caught falsifying safety records to hide cracks at some of its plants in 2002. And the attacks on September 11th, 2001 were a sharp reminder that the risks of nuclear power generation were not only those inherent in the technology.
G→【C1】______→【C2】______→【C3】______→【C4】______→【C5】______→A
【C2】
选项
答案C
解析 前两段主要说明核工业存在的各种问题，那么衔接段要么延续介绍问题对发展的不利，要么说明事情有转折，纵观其他段落没有延续问题的说明的，只有[C]段出现转折，提到“然而最近，核工业迎来了曙光……”。
