16.As 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 clean natural gas is found in great plenty,there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century,much like 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 had well over 100years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; 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.

分析 随着燃料、电力需求的增多,在未来的能源舞台上天然气将起着非常重要的作用.在本文中作者介绍了在天然气利用上所存在的一些问题,比如天然气管道等相关设施的落后会成为制约天然气利用的不利因素,作者呼吁要更多的关注天然气的利用和开发.
解答 41-45 CDADC
41.C;细节理解题.根据文章首段末句the natural gas facilities,particularly when it comes to liquefied natural gas,are not nearly as developed.可知天然气设施的建设还不能达到让人们满意的程度,所以答案选C.
42.D;词义判断题.根据上句that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open,stable business environment,可知"one"指代一种商业环境.
43.A;细节理解题.根据第二段The governments of consuming nations,on the other hand,must make policies for sustainable(development to ensure they'll have enough supplies in the future.可知A选项正确.
44.D;推理判断题.文章首段提出在未来的能源舞台上天然气将起着举足轻重的作用,但是相关设施的欠缺却制约了对天然气的充分利用,然后作者在第二段提出了具体的措施,第三段呼吁人们的帮助,由此可知文章的目的是呼吁对天然气更好的利用和发展,故D选项正确.
45.C;推理判断题.根据文章末段We've taken some of the steps to get started,but we need your help to get the rest of the way.可以推断下段要提到的是具体需要人们哪些帮助,故C选项正确.
