第一篇如何辨别说谎者
第二篇renewable energy (澳洲清洁能源)
文章主旨:文章讲澳大利亚可再生能源的自然资源丰富但是利用不多,文中讲了几个能源公司的再生能源利用方式:风能/地热/太阳能/潮汐。
A
The race is on for theultimate goal of renewable energy: electricity production at prices that arecompetitive with coal-fired power stations, but without coal’s pollution.Some new technologies are aiming to be the first to push coal from its positionas Australia’s chief source of electricity.
B
At the moment thefront-runner in renewable energy is wind technology. According to Peter Berginof Australian Hydro, one of Australia’s leading wind energy companies, there have been nodramatic changes in windmill design for many years, but the cumulative effectsof numerous small improvements have had a major impact on cost. 4 We’re reaping thebenefits of 30 years of research in Europe, without having to make the samemistakes that they did,’ Mr. Bergin says.
C
Electricity can beproduced from coal at around 4 cents per kilowatt-hour, but only if theenvironmental costs are ignored. ‘Australia has the second cheapest electricity inthe world, and this makes it difficult for renewable to compete,’ says RichardHunter of the Australian Ecogeneration Association (AEA). Nevertheless, the AEAreports: The production cost of a kilowatt-hour of wind power is one fifth ofwhat it was 20 years ago,’ or around 7 cents per kilowatt-hour.
D
Australian Hydro hasdozens of wind monitoring stations across Australia as pari of its aim tobecome Australia’s pre-eminent renewable energy company. Despite allthese developments, wind power remains one of the few forms of alternativeenergy where Australia is nowhere near the global cutting edge, mostly justreplicating European designs.
E
While wind maycurrently lead the way, some consider a number of technologies underdevelopment have more potential. In several cases, Australia is at theforefront of global research in the area. Some of them are very site-specific,ensuring that they may never become dominant market players. On the other hand,these newer developments are capable of providing more reliable power, avoidingthe major criticism of windmills – the need for back-up on a calm day.
F
One such developmentuses hot, dry rocks. Deep beneath South Australia, radiation from elementscontained in granite heats the rocks. Layers of insulating sedimentation raisethe temperatures in some location to 250° centigrade. An Australian firm, Geoenergy,is proposing to pump water 3.5 kilometres into the earth, where it will travelthrough tiny fissures in the granite, heating up as it goes, until it escapesas steam through another drilled hole.
G
No greenhouse gases areproduced, but the system needs some additional features if it is to beenvironmentally friendly. Dr Prue Chopra, a geophysicist at the AustralianNational University and one of the founders of Geoenergy, note that the steamwill bring with it radon gas, along through a heat exchanger and then sent backunderground for another cycle. Technically speaking, hot dry rocks are not arenewable source of energy. However, the Australian source is so large it couldsupply the entire country’s needs for thousands of years at current rates ofconsumption.
H
Two other proposals forvery different ways to harness sun and wind energy have surfaced recently.Progress continues with Australian company EnviroPower’s plans for Australia’s first solar chimney near Mildura, inVictoria. Under this scheme, a tall tower will draw hot air from a greenhousebuilt to cover the surrounding 5 km2. As the air rises, it will drive aturbine* to produce electricity. The solar tower combines three very old technologies– the chimney,the turbine and the greenhouse – to produce something quite new. It is thisreliance on proven engineering principles that led Enviropower’s CEO, RichardDavies, to state: There is no doubt this technology will work, none at all.’
I
This year, Enviropowerrecognized that the quality of sunlight in the Mildura district will require asubstantially larger collecting area than was previously thought. However,spokesperson kay Firth says that a new location closer to Mildura will enable Enviropowerto balance the increased costs with extra revenue. Besides saving intransmission costs, the new site ‘will mean increased revenue from tourism and use ofpower for telecommunications. We’ll also be able to use the outer 500 metres foragribusiness.’ Wind speeds closer to the tower will be too highfor farming.
J
Another Australiancompany, Wavetech, is achieving success with ways of harvesting the energy inwaves. Wavetech’s invention uses a curved surface to push wavesinto a chamber, where the flowing water column pushes air back and forththrough a turbine. Wavetech was created when Dr. Tim Devine offered the idea tothe world leader in wave generator manufacturers, who rather surprisinglyrejected it. Dr. Devine responded by establishing Wavetech, and making a numberof other improvements to generator design. Wavetech claims that, at appropriatesites, ‘ the cost of electricity produced with our technology should be below 4cents per kilowatt-hour.
K
The diversity of formsof greenhouse -friendly energy under development in Australia is remarkable.However, support on a national level is disappointing. According to RichardHunter of the AEA, ‘Australia has huge potential for wind, sun and wavetechnology. We should really be at the forefront, but the reality is we are along way behind.
答案:
14. FALSE 15. TRUE 16. NOT GIVEN 17. TRUE 18. FALSE 19. TRUE
20. FALSE 21. B 22. D 23. A 24. C 25. B 26. C
14 利用题目信息定位于B段,“but the cumulative effects of numerous small improvements have had a major impact on cost. ”所以,正确答案为FALSE。
15 利用题目信息定位于G段,“No greenhouse gases are produced, but the system needs some additional features if it is to be environmentally friendly. Dr Prue Chopra, a geophysicist at the Australian National University and one of the founders of Geoenergy, note that the steam will bring with it radon gas, along through a heat exchanger and then sent back underground for another cycle”。因此,正确答案为TRUE。
16 原文信息无法判断,因此,正确答案为NOT GIVEN。
17 利用题目信息定位于G段,“Technically speaking, hot dry rocks are not a renewable source of energy. However, the Australian source is so large it could supply the entire country's needs for thousands of years at current rates of consumption.‘’因此,正确答案为TRUE。
18 利用题目信息定位于I 段,“Besides saving in transmission costs, the new site ‘will mean increased revenue from tourism and use of power for telecommunications. We'll also be able to use the outer 500 metres for agribusiness.' Wind speeds closer to the tower will be too high for farming.”因此,正确答案为FALSE。
19 利用题目信息定位于J段, ‘’Wavetech was created when Dr. Tim Devine offered the idea to the world leader in wave generator manufacturers, who rather surprisingly rejected it. Dr. Devine responded by establishing Wavetech, and making a number of other improvements to generator design.‘’因此,正确答案为TRUE。
20 利用题目信息定位于C段, 'Australia has the second cheapest electricity in the world, and this makes it difficult for renewable to compete,' says Richard Hunter of the Australian Ecogeneration Association (AEA).‘’因此,正确答案为FALSE。
21 利用题目信息定位于F段,‘’Geoenergy, is proposing to pump water 3.5 kilometres into the earth, where it will travel through tiny fissures in the granite, heating up as it goes, until it escapes as steam through another drilled hole.‘’因此,正确答案为B。

2019年11月7日雅思考试总体反馈:重磅来袭!2019年11月7日雅思命中至少两个部分(2 sections)听力!命中至少两篇阅读,命中大小作文题目!命中口语绝大部分真题原题!11月7日雅思A类G类听说读写全面大中,全面开花!(全球不同考区时差、A类、G类考生回忆不够齐全,待补充,还在不断更新中…)祝贺IRP会员将出现不少雅思高分人才!总体反馈请复制链接进入
特别提醒:雅思考试20多年来,有非常严格的规律性和出题思路。全世界有6大考区,而只有一个剑桥考试中心几个人在出题,每个考区一周平均要出一份考卷,一个月很多考区平均出24份考卷。(尤其是2018-2019年以来,中国大陆的广州、北京、上海、重庆,还有北美、澳洲、亚太、欧洲意大利罗马等城市考区开始增加雅思机考的选择,机考的城市几乎每天都有雅思考试,一个月考官要出20几份雅思机考卷子,机考跟传统纸质考试的区别只是纸质和电脑上考试的区别,考试内容、评分标准、难度等级、考试题型、考试安全设置等方面均与现行的纸笔模式完全一致。)雅思考试如此频繁,如何保证达到难度一样呢,如何保证新题难度、准确度和评价机制公平呢,所以只能是20年来的题库旧题目的有效组合,新题不能超出5%-10%,每份雅思卷子都是90%-99%以上旧题。每一份雅思考试试题其实是大部分旧题原题真题+个别新题目的重新组合,多年雅思考官和专家Edward老师非常熟悉雅思出题规律和听说读写题库出题组合卷子的秘诀,IRP资料因此而诞生!具体请阅读http://bbs.ieltstofelglobal.com/thread-32-1-1.html
