All of the following are mentioned as sources of energy of rural agricultural societies EXCEPT ______.
A

firewood

B

dung cake

C

solar power

D

agricultural waste


参考解析

解析:
关于乡村农业社会的能源,文章开头便指出在一些乡村的农业社会中,对可利用能源的收集,如柴火(firewood)、牛粪饼(dung cake)和农业废弃物(agricultural waste)每年都要花费200到300人日(person-day“人日”,是统计学方面的一个时间单位,指一个普通人正常活动的一日)。可见只有太阳能不包括在内,因此选C。

共用题干California Gives Green Light to Space Solar PowerEnergy beamed down from space is one step closer to reality,now that California has given the green light to an agreement that would see the Pacific Gas and Electric Company buy 200 megawatts(兆瓦)of power beamed down from solar-power satellites beginning in 2016.But some major challenges will have to beovercome if the technology is to be used widely.A start-up company called Solaren is designing the satellites,which it says will use radio waves to beamenergy down to a receiving station on Earth.The attraction of collecting solar power in space is the almost uninterrupted sunshine available in geo- synchronous(与地球同步的)orbit. Earth-based solar cells , by contrast , can only collect sun light during day-time and when skies are clear.But space-based solar power must grapple(努力克服)with the high cost per kilogram of launching things in- to space,says Richard Schwartz of Purdue University in West Lafayette,Indiana."if you're talking about it being economically viable for power of the Earth,it's a tough go,"he says.Cal Boerman,Solaren's director of energy services,says the company designed its satellites with a view to keeping launch costs down."We knew we had to come up with a different,revolutionary design,"he says. A patent the company has won describes ways to reduce the system's weight,including using inflatable mir- rors to focus sunlight on solar cells,so a smaller number can collect the same amount of energy.But using mirrors introduces other challenges,including keeping the solar cells from overheating,says Schwartz."You have to take care of heat dissipation(散发)because you're now concentrating a lot of energy in one place,"he says.According to the company's patent,Solaren's solar cells will be connected to radia-tors to help keep them cool.Though Boerman says the company believes it can make space-based solar power work,it is not expec-ting to crowd out other forms of renewable energy.Laws in California and other states require increasing use of renewable energy in coming years,he points out."To meet those needs,we're going to need all types of renewable energy sources,"he says.Space-based solar power will rule out other forms of renewable energy sources.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

共用题干Green Energy1.Green energy is energy that is produced in a manner that has, less of a negative impact to the environment than energy sources like fossil fuels,which are often produced with harmful side effects."Greener" types of energy that often come to mind are solar,wind,geothermal and hydro energy.There are several more,even including nuclear energy,that is sometimes considered a green energy source because of its lower waste output relative to energy sources such as coal or oil.2.The goal of green energy is generally to create power with as little pollution as possible produced as a by-product. Every form of energy collection will result in some pollution,but those that are green are known to cause less than those that are not. Most people who advocate greener sources of energy claim that the result of worldwide use of green energy will result in the ability to preserve the planet for a longer time.Greenhouse gases,a by-product of traditional sources of energy such as fossil fuels are thought to be causing global warming,or the process of the Earth heating up at an accelerated pace.3.It is not completely necessary for green energy sources to come from places like solar or wind fields,which are examples of green"power plants".A green energy source can be a building that is designed in a way that it keeps itself cool in the daytime and heated in the night through its architectural design rather than having an air-conditioning or a heating system. The conservation of energy through architectural(建筑学的)design becomes, itself, a green energy source. Similarly, many sources of green energy can come directly from the area in which the energy is needed rather than from an outside source.4.One of the goals of green energy technology is to take existing fossil fuel energy technology and clean it up so it is produced more cleanly. One such case is that of clean coal technology,where scientists are trying to find ways to extract energy from coal and other fossil fuels without all of the harmful side effects.The success of such these types of green energy depend upon the ability to extract harmful by-products from fossil fuels while not only being energy efficient,but by being cost efficient as well.Greenhouse gases are thought to be causing______.A:global warmingB:carbon emissionC:lower waste outputD:a green energy sourceE:fossil fuels F: clean fuels
