　　The Scottish government has raised its target for sourcing electricity from renewable energy by 30 percentage points.

　　Three years ago，it set out to achieve 50% from green power within 10 years.

　　But new industry research suggested that the country's renewable energy potential was bigger than thought.

　　First Minister Alex Salmond has now announced that the government is setting a new target of 80% of electricity from renewables by 2024.

　　He said: “We are already on the path to a low carbon economy—Scotland gets nearly a quarter of its electricity from green sources.”

　　“Scotland is ideally placed to help lead the renewables revolution and thinking of the levels of planned investment over the next decade.”

　　“I believe it is now time to aim higher and to go further.”

　　An independent analysis was commissioned by Scottish Renewables into the country's renewable energy potential，which includes power drawn from wind，tidal，wave and hydro turbines，and energy from waste.

　　It said the 2007 target of sourcing 50% of power needs from green sources within 10 years could easily be reached.

　　It said it should reach 31% by next year，and there are several large projects which have already won approval and will come_on_stream after that.

　　At a conservative estimate of increased generation and reduced demand，the country could have 81%

　　renewable electricity within a decade，consultants Garrad Hassan claimed.

　　With more ambitious assumptions about investment and consumption，renewables could provide 123% of Scotland's power needs.The surplus could be used for exports，requiring improved connectors out of Scotland.

　　Notes：

　　①commission vt.委任；委托　②turbine n．渦輪　③surplus n．盈余

　　長短句分析：An independent analysis was commissioned by Scottish Renewables into the country's renewable energy potential，which includes power drawn from wind，tidal，wave and hydro turbines，and energy from waste.

　　句法點睛：這是一個比較復雜的復合句。“into the country's renewable energy potential”為介詞短語，修飾analysis，而后面的which引導的定語從句也修飾analysis。

　　句意：一項獨立的對再生能源的潛力的分析由英格蘭再生能源組織委托。再生能源的潛力包括從風、潮汐、波浪和水渦中獲得的能量，以及從廢物中獲得的能源。

　　【語篇解讀】 在過去的幾年里，蘇格蘭的綠色能源已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生了非常好的效果，原來預計的未來十年增長50%將改為80%。分析表明，蘇格蘭有巨大的綠色能源，如果將來蘇格蘭產(chǎn)生123%的國家所需能量，他們將把這些綠色能源出口，這將大大改善蘇格蘭與其他國家的合作。

　　1．What's the best title of the passage?

　　A．New target for Scottish renewable energy

　　B．Plan for the usage of renewable energy in Scotland

　　C．Hope for a low carbon economy

　　D．Renewables in great need in Scotland

　　答案　A　[主旨大意題。全文講述了蘇格蘭在綠色能源使用上取得初步成就后，訂立新的目標，將低碳綠色能源進行到底的事情。B有一定的干擾性，聯(lián)系全文可知，蘇格蘭已經(jīng)實現(xiàn)了原來制定的使用綠色能源的目標，現(xiàn)在將未來十年的目標由原來的50%提高到80%。]

　　2．From what First Minister Alex Salmond said we can infer ________.

　　A．Scotland wants to be the top country using green sources

　　B．Scotland is short of exports

　　C．in the past Scotland didn't use renewable energy

　　D．Scotland doesn't want to invest on green sources

　　答案　A　[推理判斷題。聯(lián)系他說的“Scotland is ideally placed to help lead the renewables revolution”可知，他的目標是蘇格蘭在綠色能源使用上處于領先地位。]

　　3．What does the underlined phrase “come on stream” mean in the 10th paragraph?

　　A．Sail on the river.

　　B．Be discussed.

　　C．Be put to an end to.

　　D．Be carried out.

　　答案　D　[詞義理解題。聯(lián)系前面的“have already won approval”可知，一些工程項目已經(jīng)得到支持，下一步就是實施，因此D項最佳。]

　　4．What can we see from the last paragraph?

　　A．Scotland wants to save some energy.

　　B．Scotland will produce more renewables for other countries.

　　C．Scotland will broaden its people's daily product consumption.

　　D．Scotland will need more foreign investment.

　　答案　B　[主旨大意題。聯(lián)系文章最后一句“The surplus could be used for exports”可知，未來蘇格蘭將產(chǎn)生國家所需要的123%的綠色能源，而盈余部分將用于出口。]維A2 閱讀理解(每題2分，滿分8分)

　　When you get stuck in a

　　moment，you

　　should remember that somewhere out there，someone always comes along with a pocket full of hope.

　　Yesterday I spent all my coins and dollar bills on little deeds.I had skipped breakfast because I got up late.Because of the mad rush，I forgot my lunch.When I was on my way to buy my lunch，a person in need asked me if I could spare him some cash，so I decided to lend him first.

　　So，then later in the evening，I was heading home anxiously awaiting dinner.However，I got a call from my mom saying that she was stuck working late and wouldn't be able to prepare dinner for me.Even though there was no food in the house，I told my mom not to worry as I would surely find myself something to munch.

　　While I was still processing this sudden set of changes in my food options for the day，I passed a young man with a broad smile handing out samples of crackers at a supermarket.He gave me a packet and said，“How about you taking some more for school tomorrow？” In response to that，I returned a warm smile to him and opened up my bag.He gladly filled it with 20 packets.I was excited.

　　Whether you call it luck or fate，I just wanted to say that somewhere out there somebody came along carrying a pocket of hope in his heart and shared a piece of it with me！Somebody out there will one day do the same for you!

　　Notes：

　　option n．選擇　②cracker n．薄脆餅干　③fate n．命運

　　長短句分析：Whether you call it luck or fate，I just wanted to say that somewhere out there somebody came along carrying a pocket of hope in his heart and shared a piece of it with me!

　　句法點睛：Whether you call it luck or fate為讓步狀語從句，I just wanted to say that為主句，somewhere out there somebody...with me為賓語從句。

　　句意：無論你認為是運氣還是命運，我想說的是，總是在某個地方有個人心中帶著一縷希望來與我分享！

　　【語篇解讀】 本文為記敘文。文章講述了作者昨天的經(jīng)歷，他想告訴我們總是會有人給我們希望的。

　　B．his mother promised to prepare dinner for him
