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
【C4】
选项
答案D
解析 上段最后一句话说“芬兰已经为迎接全新的核能源时代敞开大门，许多西方国家将紧随我们的步伐。”[D]段开始就提到“最近法国议会通过了建造新核电站的提议……”，衔接紧密。
