1．In a speech this week to the Institute of Civil Engineering，the Prime Minister，David Cameron，made clear his support for wind energy．He focused on some of the many advantages of developing the industry．
Let's examine those reasons．It is an abundant，clean and sustainable source of energy，reducing our dependence on expensive fossil fuel imports，increasingly from politically unstable parts of the globe．Let's not forget that Russia turned off the gas supply to Europe in 2006．
More recently，we have all felt the pain this winter，when international gas prices soared by 40% compared to last year．Should we carry on exposing ourselves to the instability（不稳定） of global energy prices and the unpredictability of global events，or should we recognize the value of taking control of our energy supply？
As for the economic opportunities，over the last decade wind energy has attracted﹩5 billion in investment（投资）to the UK and is set to go above﹩50 billion by 2020．Look at the companies queuing up to build wind turbine （涡轮） factories in the UK，such as Siemens and Vestas．Examine the number of people employed in the wind industry in the UK-nearly 12000，now with nearly 90000 jobs by 2021．
The UK is already the global leader in wind power，with greater ability than anywhere else in the world-enough to supply more than a million homes with electricity all year round-and the government is calling for an increase by eight times in the amount of wind turbines installed by 2020，which the industry can achieve as long as it gets the right level of support from ministers．In reurn，as well as bring the environmental benefits of clean energy，the wind industry is committed to save consumers a lot of money．

24．The writer uses the example of Russia to prove thatB．
A．international gas price is not always stable
B．there exists the unpredictability of global events
C．there are conflicts between Europe and Russia
D．every nation is badly in need of gas
25．What does the underlined word"soared"mean？D
A．Set．B．Dropped．C．Cancelled．D．Rose．
26．What can we know from Paragraph 4？A
A．Many job opportunities are created by wind indutry．
B．The UK would not accept many companies'investment．
C．Over the last ten years the UK has attracted little investment．
D．Other industries are less important than wind industry．
27．What is the most important thing for the government to achieve its goal by 2020？B
A．Attracting more investment．
B．Getting enough support from ministers．
C．Improving the technology a lot．
D．Listing the advantages of wind power to the public．

分析本文主要讲述了在能源日渐缺乏以及污染日益严重的情况下，对清洁能源--风能的开发以及使用．

解答 24．B 细节题．根据第二段第一句 Let's examine those reasons．It is an abundant，clean and sustainable source of energy，reducing our dependence on expensive fossil fuel imports，increasingly from politically unstable parts of the globe 可知全球局势的变化会影响化石燃料的进出口，以俄罗斯为例来说明这个情况．故B项符合文意．故正确答案为B．
25．D 推断题．根据第三段第一句 More recently，we have all felt the pain this winter，when international gas prices soared by 40% compared to last year 可知，到了冬季，对化石燃料的需求应该增长，冬天感到很痛苦，由此可知国际天然气的价格应该是增长的．故D项符合文意．故正确答案为D．
26．A 推断题．根据第四段可知，对于经济的机会，英国在风力资源上进行了更多的投资．由此推断风力行业能够创造更多的就业机会．故A项符合文意．B项，文中提到更多的公司在风力资源上进行投资．B项错误．C项，文中表示英国在风力上引入更多的投资．C项错误．D项，文中没有提到．D项错误．故正确答案为A．
27．B 细节题．根据最后一段第三句 the government is calling for an increase by eight times in the amount of wind turbines installed by 2020，which the industry can achieve as long as it gets the right level of support from ministers 可知政府要实现的最重要的目标是从国家获得足够的支持．故B项符合文意．故正确答案为B．

Dad，in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run，had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of US population make every day．The big question is why．

3．Wildlife in Decline
The populations of Earth's wild vertebrates （脊椎动物）have declined by 58% over the past four decades，according to the Living Planet Report 2016published by the World Wildlife Fund．
Climate change and activities such as deforestation and poaching（偷猎）are in large part （21）to blame（blame） for the decline．If the trend continues，by 2020，the world （22）will have lost（lose） two-thirds of its vertebrate biodiversity．"Sadly，there is no sign yet （23）that this rate will decrease，"the report says．
"Across land，fresh water and the oceans，human activities are forcing wildlife populations to the edge，"says Marco Lambertini，director-general of WWF International．
The Living Planet Report is published every two years．It aims to provide an assessment of the state of the world's wildlife．The 2016 study included 3700 different species of birds，fish，mammals，amphibians and reptiles around the world．The team collected data from more than 3000 sources，including government statistics and surveys （24）carried （carry） out by conservation groups．They then analyzed （25）how the population sizes had changed over time．
Lambertini said some groups of animals had done worse than others．''We do see particularly strong declines （26）in the freshwater environment．For freshwater species alone，the decline stands at 81% since 1970．This is related to the way that water （27）is used（use） and taken out of freshwater systems，and also to the fragmentation（分裂）of freshwater systems through dam building，for example．"
The report also highlighted other species，such as African elephants，（28）which nave suffered huge declines in recent years，and sharks，which are threatened by overfishing．
（29）In spite of all the terrifying facts，however，some conservationists say there is still hope．"One of the things that I think is the most important is that these wild animals haven't yet gone extinct，"said Robin Freeman，head of the Zoological Society of London．"On the whole，（30）they are not dying out，and that means we still have opportunities to do something about the decline．"
