Thirst for Oil Werldwide every day,we devour the energyequivalent of about 200 million barrels of Oil.MoHt of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun.In fact enough energy from the Sun hits the planets surface each minute to cover our needs for an entire year,we just need to find an efficient way to use it.So far the energy in oil has been cheaper and easier to get at.But as supplies dwindle,this will change,and we will need to cure our addiction to oil. Today petroleum,a mineral oil obtained from below the surface of the Earth and used to produce petrol,diesel oil and various other chemical substances,provides around 40% of the worlds energy needs,mostly fuelling automobiles.The US consumes a quarter of all oil,and generates a similar proportion of greenhouse gas emissions. Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years,though opinions and estimates vary.We could fast reach an energy crisis in the next few decades,when demand exceeds supply. As conventional reserves become more difficuh to access.others such as oil shales and tar sands may be used instead.Petrol could also be obtained from coal. 詞匯: denseadj.密集的 diesel oil 柴油 可得到的5petrElp reliancen.依賴,依靠 tar sand 瀝青砂 注釋: 2. tonnes:公噸。不同于ton。 ton:在美國等于二千磅,所以稱作short ton:短噸。 1. ...we will need to cure our addiction to oil. Why does the author say so? B Oil supply is increasing all the time. D Oil supply is decreasing. A Wood wets the fuel of choice before coal. C Coal is the most environmentally unfriendly fuel next to oil. choice. A The United States. C Norway. 4. What do experts say about the earths fuel reserves? B There will soon be an energy crisis. D Fuel demand will decline. A Rainforests will be destroyed. C The earths temperature will be raised. 答案與題解: 2. C 短文的第二段告訴我們,木材曾經是主要燃料來源,然后被煤所替代;白人們開始采油后,對煤的需求下降了,但因為煤的儲量遠大于石油,它可能又會成為主要燃料,盡管它對環境最具破壞力。所以A、B、D均是作者的意思,而C不是。ncxt to oil除石油以外。 4. B 答案在第五段第二句中。該段第一句說,地球上的燃料儲量將在50年內耗盡,所以A不是正確選擇;第三句的意思是,常規燃料的獲取將變得困難,而不是不可獲得,所以C也不是正確選擇;D明顯不是作者的意思。
