The UK Government has announced plans to build eight nuclear power reactors as part of its new energy

strategy

By 2030, the Government wants 95%of the UK’s electricity to come from low-carbon energy sources. Carbon

dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is released from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). It is a big cause of

climate change- long-term shifts in weather patterns, including rising temperatures.

The Government wants to increase renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels. The

Government hopes that by 2030, 50 gigawatts (亿瓦特) of energy will come from offshore wind farms (ones that

stand in the sea). That’s enough to power all the houses in the UK. There are also plans to build eight new nuclear

reactors. Nuclear reactors generate ( 产生 ) energy through a process called nuclear fission ( 裂变 ), when heavy

atoms are split into lighter ones. The Government wants to make the UK’s energy cleaner and cheaper, and for the

UK to produce its own energy rather than relying on other countries. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has affected the

world’s gas and oil supply, making power more expensive.

The UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, says the plans will lead to clean and secure energy made in Britain.

Some people have said that these plans don’t go far enough and won’t help people who are struggling with high

energy bills at the moment.

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has said that the Government should do more to insulate people’s homes.

Insulating homes is when material is put inside a house to stop heat from getting out. It means people would need

to use less energy to heat their homes.

4. What does the underlined “It” refer to in the second paragraph?

A. Carbon dioxide. B. A fossil fuel.

C. A renewable energy source. D. The low-carbon energy source.

5. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. The Government wants to be more independent on energy production.

B. Nuclear reactors produce energy through nuclear fission.

C. The UK is unwilling to produce its own energy.

D. In the process of nuclear fission,lighter atoms are split into heavy ones.

6. What is some people’s attitude towards the energy plan?

A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned.

C. Unappreciative. D. Satisfied.

7. What is the best title for the text?

A. Cheaper Energy in the UK

B. Electricity from Low-carbon Energy Sources

C. The UK Government Builds Eight Nuclear Reactors

D. The UK Government Launches Energy Plan

【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国政府启用能源计划。
