In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 w
14、ind turbines worldwide, most grouped in clusters called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity. Most were in Denmark (which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines) and California (where 17,000 machines produced 1 percent of the states electricity, enough to
15、 meet the residential needs of a city as large as San Francisco). In principle, all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three statesNorth Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas.Large wind farms can be built in six months to a year and then easily
16、expanded as needed. With a moderate to fairly high net energy yield, these systems emit no heat-trapping carbon dioxide or other air pollutants and need no water for cooling; manufacturing them produces little water pollution. The land under wind turbines can be used for grazing cattle and other pur
17、poses, and leasing land for wind turbines can provide extra income for farmers and ranchers.Wind power has a significant cost advantage over nuclear power and has become competitive with coal-fired power plants in many places. With new technological advances and mass production, projected cost decli
18、nes should make wind power one of the worlds cheapest ways to produce electricity. In the long run, electricity from large wind farms in remote areas might be used to make hydrogen gas from water during periods when there is less than peak demand for electricity. The hydrogen gas could then be fed i
19、nto a storage system and used to generate electricity when additional or backup power is needed. Wind power is most economical in areas with steady winds. In areas where the wind dies down, backup electricity from a utility company or from an energy storage system becomes necessary. Backup power cou
20、ld also be provided by linking wind farms with a solar cell, with conventional or pumped-storage hydropower, or with efficient natural-gas-burning turbines. Some drawbacks to wind farms include visual pollution and noise, although these can be overcome by improving their design and locating them in
21、isolated areas.Large wind farms might also interfere with the flight patterns of migratory birds in certain areas, and they have killed large birds of prey (especially hawks, falcons, and eagles) that prefer to hunt along the same ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbines. The killing of birds of
22、 prey by wind turbines has pitted environmentalists who champion wildlife protection against environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy. Researchers are evaluating how serious this problem is and hope to find ways to eliminate or sharply reduce this problem. Some analysts also contend that
23、the number of birds killed by wind turbines is dwarfed by birds killed by other human-related sources and by the potential loss of entire bird species from possible global warming. Recorded deaths of birds of prey and other birds in wind farms in the United States currently amount to no more than 30
24、0 per year. By contrast, in the United States an estimated 97 million birds are killed each year when they collide with buildings made of plate glass, 57 million are killed on highways each year; at least 3.8 million die annually from pollution and poisoning; and millions of birds are electrocuted e
25、ach year by transmission and distribution lines carrying power produced by nuclear and coal power plants.The technology is in place for a major expansion of wind power worldwide. Wind power is a virtually unlimited source of energy at favorable sites, and even excluding environmentally sensitive are
26、as, the global potential of wind power is much higher than the current world electricity use. In theory, Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, Russia, and the United Kingdom could use wind to meet all of their energy needs. Wind power experts project that by the middle of the twenty-first century wind po
27、wer could supply more than 10 percent of the worlds electricity and 10-25 percent of the electricity used in the United States.Paragraph 1：Since 1980, the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly. In 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwide, most grouped in clusters c

29、San Francisco). In principle, all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting the wind potential of just three statesNorth Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas.1. Based on the information in paragraph 1, which of the following best explains the term wind farms?Arms using windmill

36、oving their design and locating them in isolated areas.3. Based on the information in paragraph 3 and paragraph 4, what can be inferred about the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas mentioned at the end of paragraph 1?They rely largely on coal-fired power plants.They contain remote areas
37、 where the winds rarely die down.Over 1 percent of the electricity in these states is produced by wind farms.Wind farms in these states are being expanded to meet the power needs of the United States.4. According to paragraph 3, which of the following is true about periods when the demand for electr
38、icity is relatively low?These periods are times when wind turbines are powered by hydrogen gas.These periods provide the opportunity to produce and store energy for future use.These periods create storage problems for all forms of power generation.These periods occur as often as periods when the dem

In paragraph 4, the author states that in areas where winds are not steadyPower does not reach all customersWind farms cannot be usedSolar power is more appropriateBackup systems are needed6. According to paragraph 4, what can be inferred about the problems of visual p
40、ollution and noise associated with wind farms?Both problems affect the efficiency of wind farms.Possible solutions are known for both problems.Wind power creates more noise than visual pollution.People are more concerned about visual pollution than noise.Paragraph 5: Large wind farms might also inte

The phrase this problem in the passage refers toInterference with the flight patterns of migrating birds in certain areasBuilding ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbinesThe killing of birds of prey by wind turbinesMeeting the demands
46、of environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy8. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.Hawks, falcons, and eagles prefer to hu

48、s that may cause problems for migrating birds and birds of prey.Large wind farms in certain areas kill hawks, falcons, and eagles and thus might create a more ideal path for the flight of migratory birds.9. In paragraph 5, why does the author give details about the estimated numbers of birds killed
49、each year?To argue that wind farms should not be built along ridge linesTo point out that the deaths of migratory birds exceed the deaths of birds of preyTo explain why some environmentalists oppose wind energyTo suggest that wind turbines result in relatively few bird deaths10.
