詳細解答：

段首出現(xiàn)：firstofall,意味著本段作為第一分點出現(xiàn)，段首句為主題句,

現(xiàn)主題句。

C.Moreandnotefamiliesinstalledrooftopsolarsysteminstallment

asawaytocutexpenseonelectricity.

D.Thereisnopositiveconnectionbetweeneconomicalsituationand

theamountofrooftopsolarsysteminstallment.

參考答案：B

考查特定條件下發(fā)生的具體事情由題干定位到文章原句In2008-intheUnited

States,a63percentincreaseovertheamountofcapacityinstalledin

2007,在2008年，美國的比2007年增加了63%,選項A認為2008年美國屋頂

太陽能的裝置率與比2007年相比，增長率超過了5096。選項A與文意相符。選

項B認為加利福利亞95%的家庭都裝有犀頂太陽能，定位到文章原句In

California,thesolarcapitalofcountry,theincreasewas95percent,

在加利福利亞，太陽能之都，其增長率是95%,選項B與文意不符，故選擇B。

選項C認為越來越多的家庭選擇使用太陽能作為節(jié)省用電的方法，定位到文章原

句，asAmericansbecomeincreasinglyintriguedbytheideaofturning

their,roofsintominipowerplantsandcuttingtheirelectricbills,

美國人越來越被這一想法吸引，即使用屋頂太陽能來減少用電開支，可見選項C

與文意相符。選項D認為經(jīng)濟環(huán)境和安裝太陽能沒有正向聯(lián)系，定位到文章原句

Despitethebadeconomy,ormaybebecauseofit,therooftop-solarindustry

isbooming,即使經(jīng)濟環(huán)境糟糕，或正是因為此，屋頂太陽能發(fā)展迅速，可見選

項D是合文意的。

C.Largecompaniesthathaveamonoplyoveranindustrycanleadto

theinefficienceinproduction.

D.It'sagreatadvancementintechnologytomakeuseofdesertto

generatesolarpower.

參考答案：B

考查段落大意由題干定位到文章第二段第一句Meanwhile,theoutlookforthe

othersideofthesolarindustry一thelarge,centralizedpowerplants

一isn'tsosunny.太陽能產(chǎn)業(yè)的另一半，大型的集中的電力廠卻表現(xiàn)平平?？?/p>

見第二段的大意主要是說明大型電力企業(yè)在太陽能發(fā)電領(lǐng)域的表現(xiàn)一般。選項A

認為大型電廠的太陽能發(fā)電量超過普通家庭的太陽能發(fā)電量，定位到consumers

added522megawattstothegrid；whereasutilitycompaniesaddedjust96

megawatts,可見普通家庭提供的太陽能發(fā)電量高于大型電力企業(yè)。選項B認為

雖然目前大型電力企業(yè)的太陽能集中發(fā)電項目的現(xiàn)狀不理想，但這個部分的發(fā)展

是太陽能產(chǎn)業(yè)的關(guān)鍵，此表述與文章原意相符，故B是正確答案。

第33題：

源產(chǎn)業(yè)的控制，還有居民用電市場。在很多時候，這些大型企業(yè)會反對建立屋頂

太陽能沒施。選項A意為修建，B意為協(xié)助、促進，C意為鼓勵，D意為反對。

可見D項正確。

第34題:

Accordingtothepassage,whichoneofthefollowingstatementsisNOT

agreeabletoAdamBrowning'sideas?

A.Nowtherealityisthattheutilitiesanddistributedsolar

B.Theutilitiesdon'twanttosharetheirbusinesswiththe

distributedsolargeneration.

13

C.Theutilitiesshouldhelppeopletosetuprooftopsolarsystemwhen

needed.

D.Peopleshouldpaytotheutilitiesforthepowergeneratedfromtheir

rooftopsolarsystems.

參考答案：D

考查文中人物對具體事物的觀點由題干定位到文章原句“Thereisatension

betweendistributedsolargenerationandutilities”,分散的太陽能發(fā)電

和大型電力企業(yè)之間的關(guān)系緊張，可見選項A認為大型企業(yè)和分散的太陽能發(fā)電

不能很當合作，選項A是合文意的。選項B認為大型企業(yè)不想和別的太陽能發(fā)電

單位分享市場，定位到文章原句，They'vehadtheenergypietothemselves

對產(chǎn)業(yè)控制的方法?？梢夿是合文意的。選項C認為大型企業(yè)應(yīng)該在需要時，幫

助人們建立屋頂太陽能系統(tǒng)，定位到文章原句,Peoplewantsolarpanelson

theirroofs,soutilitiesshouldheworkingtomakethathappen,可見

C是合文意的。選項D認為居民應(yīng)該向電力企業(yè)為其享用的太陽能電力付費，文

章中關(guān)于AdamBrowning的表述并沒有此項，故D不是AdamBrowning的想法，

應(yīng)選擇Do

第35題:

參考答案：D

考查全篇大意文章原句Privatesectorcanseizethisopportunitytogrow,

私人企業(yè)也抓住這個機會，大力發(fā)展，選項A認為現(xiàn)在對于私營企業(yè)來說，有很

好的發(fā)展環(huán)境，可見A是合文意的。選項B認為文章講述了政府在發(fā)展太陽能產(chǎn)

業(yè)方面的鼓勵措施，是合文意的。選項C認為文章講述了大型企業(yè)對屋頂太陽能
