Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Germany are meeting increasing opposition across the country.

Anti-wind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the Brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines (涡轮机). For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to thwart the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country.

Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result, solar farms, biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013, 22% of Germany’s electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change, making up half of the renewable energy in 2013, and the public has been generally supportive. To date, a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the country have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forest in the central and southern areas of Germany.

One such region is the Rheinhardswald in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of

the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and others, made famous in the books of the Brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet, attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place!

Ann-athrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. “It is not because this is the area of Sleeping Beauty,” she says, “I want the green movement, I want green technology, I don’t want nuclear power--- but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests.”

The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds including the endangered black stork. Campaigners say building turbines here would be disastrous for the birds. 66. The underlined word “thwart” can be replaced by_____.

A. support

B. prevent

C. increased C. Bio-energy C. 50%

D. promote D. Atomic energy D. 60%

67. Which of the following does NOT belong to green power? _____.

A. Solar energy A. 11%

B. Wind energy B. 22%

68. What percentage of Germany’s electricity was generated by wind in 2013? _____. 69. What can be inferred from the passage? _____.

A. The author is against building more wind turbines. B. The public prefers wind energy to nuclear energy.

C. Most Germans object to building wind turbines all over Germany. D. The central and southern areas of Germany are rich in wind energy. A. Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany.

B. The Rheinhardswald is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty.

C. Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy. D. Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.

D

A team of researchers in the U has shown that children who were taken to the library more often and owned more books at two years old achieved higher scores in school tests when they began primary school. The research also showed that although social background has a noticeable effect on a child’s readiness for school, attending pre-school and having their parents teach them a wide range of activities have a positive effect---while extended exposure to television lowers their scores.

“One message coming through loud and clear is that how a child learns in his very early years is critical (至关重要的) for a smooth transition into the educational system,” said Professor James Law. “This is a very positive message, as it gets us away from the belief that a child’s educational future is pre-determined by standard measures of socio-economic disadvantage, such as income, housing, or the mother’s education.”

Data from the study shows that children from a positive communication environment had a better expressive vocabulary by their second birthday. These children went on to achieve higher scores in language, reading and maths tests when they entered school. In the early years, the communication environment was a better predictor of children’s success with language than their general social background.

Most children develop speech and language effortlessly, but some are slow to acquire these skills and go on to struggle with literacy (读写能力) and academic skills throughout their schooling. This project set

70. What is the main idea of the passage? _____.

out to uncover what factors contributed to these problems.

Professor Sue Roulstone said, “These findings are an encouragement to all parents to provide a positive communication environment for their children from the very start of their lives. The project did identify particular aspects of the communication environment, such as having children’s books around and not having the television on too much. But the main message is that, as parents, we can have an impact on how our children learn to talk by providing a range of communication experiences. And the better our children are at talking by the age of two years, the better they will do when they start school.”

71. According to the passage, what is the most important factor contributing to children’s success at school? _____.

A. Their general social background. C. Being involved in various activities.

B. Being taken to a library as early as possible.

D. Their communication environment.

72. From the research, Professor James Law concluded that _____.

A. children could naturally have a smooth transition into the educational system B. the very early years had a big effect on children’s school performance

C. communication with children after they were over two years old was more effective D. children’s educational future was pre-determined by their parents’ social position in _____.

A. maths

B. reading

C. writing

D. speaking

74. What is implied in the passage? _____.

A. The research could help children who suffer from learning difficulties. B. Parents should take their children to school as early as possible. C. Teachers should teach children how to communicate with their parents. D. Children who have good language abilities will not have difficulties in class. A. environment

B. education

C. lifestyle 第Ⅱ卷
