共用题干第二篇Energy and Public LandsThe United States boasts substantial energy resources.Federal lands provide a good deal of US energy production,the US Department of the Interior manages federal energy leasing（租赁）,both on land and on the offshore Outer Continental Shelf. Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.In 2000,32 percent of US oil,35 percent of natural gas,and 37 percent of coal were produced from federal lands,representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases.Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.Revenues from federal oil,gas,and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State Government.In 1999,for example,$553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury, and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues,of which 50 percent were paid to State governments.Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery.Each year,federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines,rail systems,pipelines,and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production,though the amount is still significant. For example , federal geothermal（地热）resources produce about 7. 5 billion kilowatt-hours（千瓦时）of electricity per year , 47 percent of all electricity generated from US geothermal energy.There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone,producing electricity for about 300 ,000 people. Federal hydropower（水电）facilities produce about 17 percent of all hydropower produced in the United States.Because of the growing US thirst for energy and increasing public unease with dependence on foreign oil sources,pressure on public lands to meet US energy demand is becoming more intense.Public lands are available for energy development only after they have been evaluated through the land use planning process. If development of energy resources conflicts with management or use of other resources,development restric-tions or impact moderation measures may be enforced,or mineral production may be banned altogether. Public lands can be used for energy development when_________________.A:energy development restrictions are effectiveB:federal land managers grant permissionsC:they go through the land use planning processD:there is enough federal budget

共用题干Thirst for OilWorldwide every day,we devour the energy equivalent of about 200 million barrels of oil. Most of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun. In fact enough energy from the Sun hits the planet's 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.Burning wood satisfied most energy needs until the steam-driven industrial revolution,when energy-dense coal became the fuel of choice. Coal is still used,mostly in power sta-tions,to cover one quarter of our energy needs,but its use has been declining since we star-ted pumping up oil. Coal is the least efficient,unhealthiest and most environmentally dama-ging fossil fuel,but could make a comeback,as supplies are still plentiful:its reserves are five times larger than oil's.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 world's energy needs,mostly fuelling automobiles. The US consumes a quarter of all oil,and generates a similar proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.The majority of oil comes from the Middle East,which has half of known reserves. But other significant sources include Russia,North America,Norway,Venezuela and the North Sea. Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge could be a major new US source,to reduce reliance on foreign imports.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 difficult to access,oth-ers such as oil shales and tar sands may be used instead. Petrol could also be obtained from coal.Since we started using fossil fuels,we have released 400 billion tonnes of carbon,and burning the entire reserves could eventually raise world temperatures by 13℃ .Among other horrors,this would result in the destruction of all rainforests and the melting of allArctic ice.Which of the following statements is NOT meant by the author,according to the second paragraph?A:Wood was the fuel of choice before coal.B: The use of coal is declining.C: Coal is the most environmentally unfriendly fuel next to oil.D: Coal reserves are plentiful and will be likely to become the major fuel of choice.

Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery. Each year , federal land managers authorize（许可）rights of way for transmission lines , rail systems , pipe-lines,and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy pro-duction , though the amount is still significant. For example , federal geothermal（地热）re-sources produce about 7. 5 billion kilowatt-hours（千瓦时）of electricity per year,47 percent of all electricity generated from US geothermal energy. There are 2,960 wind turbines on public lands in California alone,producing electricity for about 300,000 people. Federal hydropower （水电）facilities produce about 17 percent of all hydropower produced in the United States.Because of the growing US thirst for energy and increasing public unease with depend-ence on foreign off sources,pressure on public lands to meet US energy demand is becoming more intense. Public lands are available for energy development only after they have been evaluated through the land use planning process.If development of energy resources conflicts with management or use of other resources,development restrictions or impact moderation measures may be enforced,or mineral be banned altogether.Geothermal resources,wind turbines,and hydropower facilities in Paragraph 4 are ci-ted as examples to illustrate that______.A: alternative energy production is no less than conventional energy productionB: they are the most typical conventional energy resources from public landsC: geothermal resources are more important than the other twoD: the amount of alternative energy production from public lands is huge

Production from these sources amounts to nearly 30 percent of total annual US energy production.In 2000,32 percent of US oil,35 percent of natural ga9,and 37 percent Of coal were produced from federal lands,representing 20,000 producing oil and gas leases and 135 producing coal leases.Federal lands are also estimated to contain approximately 68 percent of all undiscovered US oil reserves and 74 percent of undiscovered natural gas.Revenues from federal oil,gas,and coal leasing provide significant returns to US taxpayers as well as State government,In 1999,for example,$553 million in oil and gas revenues were paid to the US Treasury,and non-Indian coal leases accounted for over $304 million in revenues, of which 50 percent were paid to State governments,Public lands also play a critical role in energy delivery.Each year,federal land managers authorize rights of way for transmission lines,rail systems,pipelines,and other facilities related to energy production and use.Alternative energy production from federal lands falls behind conventional energy production,though the amount is still significant.

问答题Practice 3 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, are used in many countries. But in some countries, the use of alternative sources of energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a positive or a negative development? You should write at least 250 words.
