A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.
The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.
Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.
At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centres, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies. [br] Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、The EEC spends one billion pounds on imported energy each year.
B、At the present level of research spending, it is difficult to make any significant progress in the provision of energy from the sun.
C、The desired breakthrough could be obtained by the end of the next decade if investment were increased.
D、The total yearly spending of the EEC on solar energy research amounted to almost 6 million.
答案
A
解析
根据第3段第1句可知,10亿英镑是在太阳能提供给EEC所需能源的3%这一前提下,每年可在能源进口省下来的钱,故A表述错误。本题也可以采用排除法:B、C两项的内容出现在了第2段;D出现在第4段中,均可排除。
