The authors warn that all the fuel will be burnt before there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to realize predictions of melting ice caps and searing temperatures. Defending their predictions, scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change3 say they considered a range of estimates of oil and gas reserves, and point out that coal-burning could easily make up4 the shortfall. But all agree that burning coal would be even worse for the planet. The IPCCs predictions of global meltdown pushed forward5 the 1997 Kyoto Protocol6, an agreement obliging signatory nations to cut CO2 emissions. The IPCC considered a range of future scenarios, from unlimited burning of fossil-fuels to a fast transition towards greener energy sources. But geologists Anders Sivertsson, Kjell Aleklett and Colin Campbell of Uppsala University say there is not enough oil and gas left even the most conservative of the 40 IPCC scenarios to come to pass7. Although estimates of oil and gas reserves vary widely, the researchers are part of a growing group of experts who believe that oil supplies will peak as soon as 2010, and gas soon after. Their analysis suggests that oil and gas reserves combined amount to the equivalent of about 3,500 billion barrels of oil considerably less than the 5,000 billion barrels estimated in the most optimistic model envisaged by the IPCC. Even the average forecast of about 8,000 billion barrels is more than twice the Swedish estimate of the worlds remaining reserves. Nebojsa akicenovic, an energy economist at the University of Vienna, Austria who headed the 80-strong IPCC team that produced the forecasts, says the panels work still stands8. He says they factored in9 a much broader and internationally accepted range of oil and gas estimates than the “conservative” Swedes. Even if oil and gas run out. “theres a huge amount of coal underground that could be exploited.” He says that burning coal could make the IPCC scenarios come true, but points out that such a switch would be disastrous. Coal is dirtier than oil and gas and produces more CO2 for each unit of energy, as well as releasing large amounts of particulates. He says the latest analysis is a “shot across the bows10” for policy makers.词汇: doomsday /5du:mzdei/n.世界末日 signatory /5sinEtEri/adj.签约的 signatory /5sinEtEri/ adj.签约的 envisage /in5vizidV/v.设想,打算采取 carbon dioxide (CO2)二氧化碳 Swede /swi:d/n.瑞典 sear /siE/ v.灼热,烧灼 disastrous /di5zB:strEs/adj.灾难性的 shortfall /5FC:tfC:l/n.缺少,不足 particulate /pE5tikjulit/n.微粒protocol /5prEutEkCl/n.协议 注释: 1. run out:被用完 2. doomsday global warming scenarios:全球变暧这一世界求末的场景。 scenarios:指“预料或期望的一系列事件的模式”,在戏剧中指“一场,一景”。 3.

What do the authors of the new analysis presented at the University of Uppsala intend to say?A The burning of coal will accelerate the arrival of Earths doomsday. B The oil reserves are big enough to materialize the doomsday scenarios. C Melting ice caps and searing temperatures exist only in science fiction. D Oil and gas will run out so fast that Earths doomsday will never materialize. 2. Nations that signed the Kyoto Protocol agree to A pay attention to global meltdown. B cut CO2 emissions. C use more green energy. D stop using fossil fuels. 3. What are the estimates of the worlds oil and gas reserves? A 4,000 billion barrels by the average forecast. B 8,000 billion barrels estimated by the Swedes. C 3,500 barrels envisaged by IPCC. D 3,500 billion by a growing numher of scientists. 4. Which of the following about Nebojsa Nakicenovic is true? A He thinks fossil fuels are as dirty as oil and gas. B He thinks green fuels will replace oil and gas eventually. C He thinks IPCCs view on the worlds oil reserves is too optimistic. D He thinks that IPCCs estimates are more optimistic than the Swedes. 5. Which of the following is the near explanation of Nakicenovics assertion that“ such a switch would be disastrous ”? A The IPCC scenarios would come true because burning coal will emit larger amounts of CO2. B A switch to burning coal would produce disastrous environmental problems. C Oil and gas to replace coal as fuel would speed up the process of global warming. D A switch from the IPCC scenarios to the policymakers ones would be disastrous. 答案与题解 : 1. D 第一段第一句 too fast for doomsday global warming scenarios to materialize中包含 too. to结构,意思是:“太以至于不”。new analysis 的争议性 (controversial)在于,这种分析认为,在大气含有足够多的二氧化碳触发地球末日到来之前,地球上所有的燃料储存都将已燃尽。 2. B 第二段第一句告诉我们 .因为 IPCC预言了全球性冰雪融化,这就导致了京部议定书的出台。京都议定书责成签约国减少二氧化碳的排放量。 A、C和 D都不是作者所要表达的意思。 3. D 越来越多的专家认为 2010年将是石油供应的高峰期,紧接着就是天然气。他们认为石油和天燃气的总量在 3,500 billion barrels左右。而 IPCC的估算是 5,000 billion barrels。 4. D Nebojsa Nakicenovic认为瑞典人对石油储藏量的估算是保守的,少于 4万亿桶,而 IPPC的估算是 5万亿桶,所以是 more optimistic的。Nakicenovic是 energy economist, 所以既是经济学家,又是能源专家。他认为 IPCC的估算考虑到一些国际认定的燃料储存, A、B和 C都不符合文章的意思。 5. B文章昀后一段中的 he指上段中的 Nebojsa Nakicenovic。他认为有大量的地下煤可以开采,煤的燃烧能使 IPCC的预言成为现实,但是燃烧煤会产生灾难性的后果。 such a switch指从使用石油和天然气到使用煤的转换。第四十二篇 Renewable Energy Sources Today petroleum provides around 40% of the worlds energy needs, mostly fuelling automobiles1. Coal is still used, mostly in power stations, to cover one-quarter of our energy needs, but it is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel2. Natural gas reserves could plug some of the gap from oil3, but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either. Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years4. We could fast reach an energy crisis. We need to rapidly develop sustainable solutions to fuel our future5. Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution. They may benefit the worlds poor too. “Renewable”, refers to the fact that these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced. The Chinese and Romans used watermills over 2,000 years ago. But the first hydroelectric dam was built in England in 1870. Hydroelectric power is now the most common form of renewable energy, supplying around 20% of world electricity. Chinas Three Gorges Dam6, which has just been completed, is the largest ever. At five times the size of the USs Hoover Dam7, its 26 turbines will generate the equivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations8. It will satisfy 3% of Chinas entire electricity demand. Surprisingly, some argue that hydroelectric dams significantly contrihute greenhouse gases. In 2003, the first commercial power station to harness tidal currents9 in the open sea opened in Norway. It is designed like windmill, but others take the form of turbines. As prices fall, wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation quadrupling10 worldwide between 1999 and 2005. Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity. Though it will be more expensive, there is more than enough wind to provide the worlds entire energy needs. Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms. They can often end up at spots of natural beauty11, and are often unpopular with residents. And turbines are not totally benign they can interfere with radar and leave a significant ecological footprint1
