14.Japan's nuclear crisis(危机)has caused global alarm and reviews of safety at atomic power plants around the world."Japan's nuclear crisis was mainly public panic,not radiation risk",an Australian expert,Michele Kearney,remained cheerful about the future development of international nuclear industry.
Professor Barry Brook,the director of Climate Science at Australian University,said that the crisis will lead international governments to improve measures to protect nuclear plants against extreme natural events,but is unlikely to cut down the use of nuclear power.
"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical,not nuclear,"Brook said,adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated,the food that they eat,and the rocks the air and the sunlight,all of that are natural radiation they experienced."
Graham Andrew,an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said,"To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan,there must be a high regard given to matters of safety."
Denis Flory,an IAEA vice director-general and head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security,said,"What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture,with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards,so these are two aspects which must go hand-in-hand and which must go together with a very strong transparency (透明) process."
Flory said he believes that since Fukushima,more and more people have considered that strong safety measures are"the only way forward"when it comes to developing nuclear energy.
Currently,the IAEA's nuclear safety standards are not a must for member states.However,if a member state is receiving IAEA technical cooperation support,it is required to adopt the agency's safety standards.
It will likely take some time to come to lasting agreements on how nuclear safety must develop,but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards.
67.Which word best describes Brook's feeling about Japan's nuclear crisis?B
A.Worried. B.Calm. C.Terrified. D.Confused.
68.The underlined"regard"is closest in meaning toB.
A.respect B.concern C.standard D.education
69.What does the underlined"two aspects"refer to?C
A.A strong safety authority and safety standards.
B.A strong safety culture and a strong safety authority.
C.Development of nuclear energy and a strong safety culture.
D.Development of nuclear energy and a strong transparency process.
70.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?B
A.It is impossible to cut down the use of nuclear power.
B.The final agreements on nuclear safety standards are yet to come.
C.Member states of the IAEA have to adopt the agency's safety standards.
D.A minister-level conference is being held to discuss stronger safety standards.
分析 本文讲述了日本核电站泄漏事故给世界核能的安全利用问题敲响了警钟,并对核能利用的安全标准协议的达成充满了期望.
解答 67.B 68.B 69.C 70.B
67.B 根据"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical,not nuclear,"Brook said,adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated,the food that they eat,and the rocks the air and the sunlight,all of that are natural radiation they experienced."可知,Brook 认为这次事故没有那么可怕,不是核泄漏,说明他很镇定,故答案为B
68.B 根据To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan,there must be a high regard given to matters of safety."
可知,此处的regard应该是"关系,忧虑"的意思,故答案为B
69.C 根据What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture,with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards可知,此处的two aspects应该指的是核能利用和稳固的安全措施的发展,故答案为C
70.B 根据but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards.可知,对核能利用的安全标准协议的达成很快来临了,故答案为B
点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.
