雅思阅读模拟题:Seeking an energy holy trinity

2014-08-25 15:35:36来源:网络 柯林斯词典

  Key and Explanations:

  1. No

  See para.1: Europe’s energy firms have failed to invest in networks…

  2. Yes

  See para.2: Energy prices vary wildly across Europe.

  3. Not Given

  See para.2: It is remarkably hard, for example, for gas-poor Germany to import from the neighbouring, gas-rich Netherlands.

  4. No

  See para.5: The risk is that concerns about security of supply may be used spuriously by those in Europe who oppose the sort of liberalisation encouraged by Ms Kroes. The likes of E.ON and EDF may claim that…

  5. Yes

  See para.7: If America is willing to play ball, the Commission proposes to reduce emissions by as much as 30%.

  6. E

  See para.4: Much has been made of the risk for western Europe of depending too heavily on Russian exports of gas.

  12. suppliers and distributors

  See the sentences in para.1 (Those “vertically integrated” energy companies such as Electricité de France (EDF) or Germany’s E.ON, widely dubbed as “national champions”…) and para.6 (…the Commission's new policy proposes, ideally, a break-up of these companies into suppliers and distributors.)

  13. competition and security

  See para.6: For the gas market another means of ensuring competition and security would be finding a more diverse range of suppliers…

  14. renewable sources

  See para.7: Achieving either target would mean promoting cleaner cars, a more effective emissions-trading system for Europe, wider use of public transport and a sharp increase in the use of renewable sources of energy…
