As the demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades，we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we’re to meet the world’s needs.And because the clean natural gas is found in great plenty，there is no doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century，much like what oil did in the last.But，like oil，gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world，usually far from where they’re needed most.And that’s only part of the challenge.The world has spent over 100 years searching for oil and building the necessary facilities to bring it to market.However，the natural gas facilities，particularly when it comes to liquefied(液化) natural gas (LNG)，are not nearly as developed.
So what needs to be done?On the supply side，producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open，stable business environment，not one in which the rules of the game change without warning.The governments of consuming nations，on the other hand，must make policies for sustainable(可持续的) development to ensure they’ll have enough supplies in the future.That means building the related facilities，including LNG stations.This，in turn，will require coastal areas to allow these necessary，but not necessarily pretty，facilities to be built in their backyards.And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely.They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.
Expanding and diversifying(使多样化) energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security.We’ve taken some of the steps to get started，but we need your help to get the rest of the way.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Gas played a major part in the 20th century.
B.Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.
C.Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.
D.Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.
2.The underlined word “one”(in Paragraph 2) refers to“ ”.
A.a gas supply side
B.a policy for gas development
C.a gas consuming nation
D.a business environment
3.The main purpose of the passage is to .
A.warn people of the lack of power and fuel
B.discuss the importance of oil and natural gas
C.instruct people how to make use of energy sources
D.call for better use and development of natural gas
4.The passage might be followed by a paragraph about .
A.which countries are in great need of gas
B.where energy sources are concentrated
C.what kind of help you can offer
D.what problems of energy sources we may face
B
As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries，a new electrical generating(发电) and transmission(输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West，for better or worse.Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery，but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community.The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to more electricity around.
The 19th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads，leaving public land in between privately owned land.In much of the West，some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped，and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management.With the completion of the interstate highway system，many of the small towns，which sprang up as railway stops and developed well，have lost their lifeblood and died.
Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West.This is not an argument against building them.We need alternative energy badly，and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.
So tradeoffs will have to be made.Some scenic spots will be sacrificed.Some species(物种) will be forced to move，or will be carefully moved to special accommodations.Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.
The lasting effects of these tradeoffs are another matter.The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region.There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good.But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind，just like the railroads and the highways.
The money set aside in negotiated tradeoffs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines.So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
5.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A.Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B.Some railroad stops remained underused.
C.Land in the West was hard to manage.
D.Land grants went into private hands.
6.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
A.The transmission of power.
B.The use of money and power.
C.The conservation of solar energy.
D.The selection of an ideal place.
7.What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?
A.Cautious. B.Approving.
C.Doubtful. D.Disapproving.
8.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.How the Railways Have Affected the West
B.How Solar Energy Could Reshape the West
C.How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be Reduced
D.How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled

Ⅰ.1.C [细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“...it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century，much like what oil did in the last.”可知石油在能源舞台上起重要作用的时间是上世纪，故排除A项;根据第一段第三句“...gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world...”可知天然气储存集中在世界很少的几个地方，故排除B项;根据第一段最后一句“However，the natural gas facilities...are not nearly as developed.”可排除D项，故选择C项。]
2.D [代词指代题。根据第二段第二句“On the supply side，producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open，stable business environment...”可知本句中的one替代的是上面的environment，故答案为D项。]
3.D [写作意图题。本文的主题是天然气的开发及利用，故本文的写作目的是号召人们更好地使用和开发天然气，故答案为D项。]
4.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“...，but we need your help to get the rest of the way.”可知下文要介绍你可以提供哪些帮助，故答案为C项。]
5.C [细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In much of the West，...and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management.”可知，在西部铁路的建设中，土地所有权对土地管理者提出了独特的挑战，即铁路建设使西部的土地很难管理。故选C。]
6.B [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可以看出，在西部发展可替代能源需要投入大量人力、物力、财力，这些投入有可能带来诸多益处，但是也可能像铁路和公路的建设一样，这些投入被浪费掉并留下新的问题。由此可推断出，在发展可替代能源方面，主要关注所投入的资金和人力、物力的使用问题。故选B。]
7.A [观点态度题。根据第三段可知，作者并不反对发展太阳能，但下文又提到，要注意采取措施减少一些负面影响，还要注意投入资源的使用情况，避免浪费……，根据这些内容可以看出作者对发展太阳能是持有谨慎(cautious)态度的。故选A。]
8.B [标题归纳题。概括全文可知，作者由西部铁路、公路、发电厂以及输电网络的建设引出本文的主题，即在西部发展太阳能同样会带来一系列问题。故选B。]
