Google's Solar Energy Gambit（策略）
Google is making its largest investment yet in clean energy,setting up a $280 million fund to finance home solar rooftop（屋顶）installations.

参考解析
解析：题干意思为：谷歌是全球最大的清洁能源公司。通过文中第二段第一句中“这个搜索巨擎……”，可以看出谷歌是个搜索引擎公司（通过常识也可以判断出）。而谷歌是否是全球最大的清洁能源公司，文中并没有给出明确说法，所以选择C。
题干意思为：使用太阳能的最大障碍是成本问题。通过文中第二段第一句中in an effort to break down the biggest barrier to solar energy adoption : the cost（致力于消除太阳能应用的最大障碍：成本）可以得出，文中表达与题干意思表达一致，所以题干表述正确。
题干意思为：谷歌对太阳能的投入已经超过6.8亿美元。文中第三段第一句：Google over the past several years has invested in large , utility-scale wind and solar , enhanced geothermal energy,and other renewable energy projects,for a grand total of more than $680 million in the sector．过去这些年来，谷歌在大规模、可利用的风能、太阳能、加强地热能源和其他新能源工程上投资达到6.8亿美元。可以得出6.8亿美元并非全部投入到太阳能领域，还有风能、加强地热能等其他能源领域，所以题干意思与原文意思相悖，应选择B。
题干意i思为：太阳城是美国一座城市的名字。通过第二段第一句中a company chaired by可知Solar City是一个公司。显而易见，题干表达错误，选择B项。
题干意思为：太阳城通过银行融资，资助了15 000个项目。文中最后一段第一句：Until now , Solar City has financed most of its 15 ,000 projects through banks．到目前为止，太阳城通过银行融资资助了其15 000个项目中的大多数。说明太阳城还没有全部资助15 000 个项目，所以题干意思表达不准确，选择B。
题干意思为：除了谷歌，还没有其他公司投资太阳能。文中最后一句： Rive is hopeful that Google's move today will set an example for other corporations to make similar investments.Rive希望谷歌的行动能够为其他公司投资清洁能源做出表率。可以得出，目前除了谷歌，还没有其他公司投资太阳能。
题干意思为：谷歌的行动是其他公司投资清洁能源的表率。从文中最后一句可以得出该结论，所以题干表述正确。
