C9-T3-R2

1.  题干：the location of the first test site. (C9-T3-R2 T14)

原文：The first station is expected to be installed off Lynmouth in Devon shortly to test the technology in a venture jointly funded by the department of Trade and Industry and the European Union.

同义替换：

Site --- Lunmouth in Devon

 

2.  题干：a way of bringing the power produced on one site back into Britain.

(C9-T3-R2 T15)

原文：The single undersea turbine farm would produce far more power than needed for the Channel Islands and most would be fed into the French Grid and be re-imported into Britain via the cable under the Channel.

同义替换：

Bring back --- re-imported into

 

3. 题干：a reference to a previous attempt by Britain to find an alternative source of   energy. (C9-T3-R2 T16)

原文：Unlike wind power, which Britain originally developed and then abandoned for 20 years allowing the Dutch to make it a major industry, undersea turbines could become a big export earner to island nations such as Japan and New Zealand.

同义替换：

Previous --- originally

 

4. 题干：mention of the possibility of applying technology from another industry. (C9-T3-R2 T7)

原文：The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers.

同义替换：

Another industry --- North Sea oil industry

 

5. 题干：A It is a more reliable source of energy than wind power. (C9-T3-R2 T19)

原文：Operating on the same principle as wind turbines, the power in sea turbines comes from tidal currents which turn blades similar to ships’ propellers, but, unlike wind, the tides are predictable and the power input is constant.

同义替换：

Reliable --- predictable and constant

 

6. 题干：D It would cut down on air pollution. (C9-T3-R2 T19)

原文：The technology raises the prospect of Britain becoming self-sufficient in renewable energy and drastically reducing its carbon dioxide emissions.

同义替换：

Cut down --- reducing

Air pollution --- carbon dioxide emissions

 

7. 题干：E It could contribute to the closure of many existing power stations in Britain. (C9-T3-R2 T20)

原文：If tide, wind and wave power are all developed, Britain would be able to close gas, coal and nuclear power plants and export renewable power to other parts of Europe.

同义替换：

Closure --- close

Existing power station --- gas, coal and nuclear power plants

 

8. 题干：F It could be a means of increasing national income. (C9-T3-R2 T21)

原文：undersea turbines could become a big export earner to island nations such as Japan and New Zealand.

同义替换：

National income --- export earner

 

9. 题干：J It is best produced in the vicinity of coastlines with particular features. (C9-T3-R2 T22)

原文：EU research has now identified 106 potential sites for tidal power, 80% round the coasts of Britain. The best sites are between islands or around heavily indented coasts where there are strong tidal currents.

同义替换：

Vicinity of coastlines --- between islands or around heavily indented coasts

 

10. 题干：Whole tower can be raised for…and the extraction of seaweed from

blades.(C9-T3-R2 T23)

原文：and also be designed to be lifted out of the water for maintenance and to clean seaweed from the blades.

同义替换：

Be raised for --- lifted out of the water for

Extraction --- clean…from

 

11. 题干：Sea life not in danger due to the fact that blades are

comparatively… (C9-T3-R2 T24)

原文：Fish and other creatures are thought unlikely to be at risk from the relatively slow-turning blades.

同义替换：

Sea life --- Fish and other creatures

Not in danger --- unlikely to be at risk

Comparatively --- relatively

 

12. 题干：Air bubbles result from the …behind blades. This is known as …

(C9-T3-R2 T25-T26)

原文：One technical difficulty is cavitation, where low pressure behind a turning blade causes air bubbles.

同义替换：

Result from --- cause

Known as --- is
