It can be inferred from the last paragraph that renewable energy _____.A. will bring the US closer to other countriesB. will accelerate global environmental changeC. is not really encouraged by the US governmentD. is not petitive enough with regard to its cost C falling這是一道詞義句意題，要想知道plummeting 的意思，首先要回到原文找線索，即plummeting所在的句子以及上下句，由原文可知，plummeting所在句子是在說現(xiàn)在例如風(fēng)能和太陽能這樣的可再生資源的價格的問題，plummeting是修飾可再生資源的價格的，接著二段最后一句就在用具體數(shù)字來證明可再生資源的成本在下降，如太陽能成本下降了百分之八十，風(fēng)能也降到三分之一，由此可知，可再生資源的成本在下降，plummeting的含義是下降的意思。所以選擇C falling。27. 答案 A is progressing notably這是一道具體細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位至第三段第三句及第四句，意思是“在中國和歐洲等國家已經(jīng)領(lǐng)先時，美國也在見證著巨大的改變。根據(jù)美國能源信息局報道，三月份，美國首次使用風(fēng)能和太陽能產(chǎn)生了超過百分之十以上的能源。”這足以說明在美國，可再生能源的使用正在取得顯著地進(jìn)步。所以答案是A。28. 答案 A wind is a widely used energy source這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題，根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞定位至第四段第三句，在愛荷華州，風(fēng)力渦輪機(jī)點綴著這個州并提供了此州百分之三十六的電能，并且還吸引了像微軟這樣的科技巨頭公司。因此可判斷，在愛荷華州，風(fēng)能是一種廣泛使用的能源。所以答案是A。 C its continuous supply is being a reality這是一道是非細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)題干給出的段落位置，56兩段和主題詞clean energy，回到原文的第56段，這兩段都不長，第五段出現(xiàn)了But后講到電池容量的提升a boost in the storage，與A選項不符，并不是因果關(guān)系，故排除；B選項說道廣泛用在制造業(yè)也不符合原文第六段第一句；而D選項和原文第六段最后一句是語義相反的，故也排除；正確選項C是和這句話語義一致的，也是和全文主題一致的，故為正確答案。30．答案C is not really encouraged by the US government這是一道細(xì)節(jié)推斷題，題干問“根據(jù)最后一段可以推斷出來可再生能源怎么了”，回到原文最后一段第一句就表明盡管還有很長一段路要走，可再生能源發(fā)展的趨勢在增強(qiáng)。后面也提到改變的節(jié)奏在加快，對slowing氣候變化有meaningful effect，所以可以看出B選項accelerate...是不對的，D選項中提到的價格不具有競爭力不在本段當(dāng)中，也應(yīng)排除。剩下的兩個選項都提到了美國，就應(yīng)該重點看最后一句，最后一句提到華盛頓政府做或不做什么都may mean less and less...所以可以看出美國不應(yīng)該是和其他國家更近，排除A，所以選C，美國不是真正支持可再生能源的。Text 3The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing —Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives. Facebook promised the European mission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what. Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow pared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them — and Facebook and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment panies. The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants. Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce whe to Paragraph1，F(xiàn)acebook acquired WhatsApp for its 。A．digital products B．user informationC．physical assetsD．quality service32 .Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities may A. worsen political disputesB. mess up customer recordsC. pose a risk to Facebook usersD. mislead the European mission33. According to the author，petition law A. should serve the new market powersB. may worsen the economic imbalanceC. should not provide just one legal solutionD. cannot keep pace with the changing market34. Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because A. they are no defined as customersB. they are not financially reliableC. these services are generally digital D. the services are paid for by advertisers35. The ants analogy is used to illustrate A. a winwin business model between digital giantsB. a typical petition pattern among digital giantsC. the benefits provided for digital giants39。 customersD. the relationship between digital giants and their users31. 答案 ［B］user information解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干信息定位到第一段第二句。該句提到兩年前Facebook花了更多的錢獲得了WhatsApp的信息服務(wù)。接著提到WhatsApp提供給Facebook的是關(guān)于其用戶的朋友圈以及社會生活等具體精煉的信息。由此可知，B項為正確答案。 32. 答案［C］pose a risk to Facebook users解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞linking the phone number定位第二段第一句。該句提到Facebook向歐洲委員會承諾不會把用戶的電話號與Facebook的身份認(rèn)證連系到一起，但是協(xié)議通過之后Facebook立馬失信。接下來提到“甚至都不清楚信息里面都有什么，也不知誰發(fā)的消息，發(fā)送的目的又是什么”。因此，可能會給用戶造成風(fēng)險。因此C項符合文意。 33. 答案 ［D］cannot keep pace with the changing market解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞petition law 定位到第三段第一句。該句指出“競爭法似乎成為解決這些不平等權(quán)力的唯一辦法，但是此法案太過笨拙”。下一句提到“一方面，相比于數(shù)據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)變化的速度，此法案發(fā)展是非常緩慢的”。由此可知，該法案跟不上當(dāng)前市場變化的步伐。因此D項為正確答案。34. 答案［D］the services are paid for by advertisers.解析：根據(jù)題目中的because 可確定為因果細(xì)節(jié)題。題干中的信息出現(xiàn)在第三段后半部分，是題目中的原詞 petition law as presently interpreted，而原因在其后面的句子。下文寫到，the users of their services are not，讀到這里的not，一定要找而是誰。繼續(xù)讀下一句，That would be the people wh
