1、2015考研模拟试题及答案 英语一since 1996. Most of his groups money comes from transport and logistics, with a strong position in Africa, and from petrol distribution in France. Mr Bollor has also made billions from financial investments such as in Rue Imperiale, a holdingcompany. Autolib will be keenly watched t
2、hroughout the car industry. It is the first largescale city carsharing service to use only electric vehicles from the outset; a scheme in Ulm in Germany, by contrast, started with diesel vehicles. Running Autolib could mean shouldering substantial losses for the Bollor Group. Mr Bollor was not expec
3、ted to win the contract, but did so mainly because he offered low rental charges for drivers.F Mr Bollors LMP batteries are said to be more stable when being charged and discharged, which is when batteries come under most strain. Just two European carmakers have seen the batteries, which are made on
4、ly by the Bollor Group. One carindustry executive says that though the LMP technology is attractive from a safety point of view, the batteries have to be heated up to functionwhich takes power and makes them less convenient to use.G Mr Bollors technology is about to hit the road. In 2010 his group w
5、on a contract to run Autolib, a carsharing scheme designed by Bertrand Delane, the mayor of Paris, which will put 3,000 electric vehicles on the city s streets along with 1,120 stations for parking and recharging. Construction of the stations started in the summer, and Mr Bollor will begin testing t
6、he service on October 1st before opening it to the public in December. Rechargeable batteries are now an important technology for the global car industry as it starts to make ever more electric and hybrid vehicles. Renault, a French manufacturer, is alone investing 4 billion ($5.6 billion) in a rang
7、e of electric models which it will start selling this autumn. Many producers will unveil new electric vehicles next week when the Frankfurt Motor Show opens.123C4F5 Passage 4Directions: For question 15, choose the most suitable paragraphs from the list AG and fill them into the numbered boxes to for
8、m a coherent text. Paragraphs A and D have been correctly placed.A The contest has been held in anticipation of a new era of pylon building. By 2020, a quarter of the countrys current generating capacity will need replacing; the government hopes the new supply will come from renewable sources such a
9、s onshore and offshore wind farms. Todays offshore capacity is just 7% of ministers targets for the end of the decadeand all of the new generation out to sea will need to land transmission cables ashore. The existing electricity grid is in the wrong place for many of these new sources of power. That
10、 creates a paradox: trying to save the world by cutting carbon emissions means scarring particular bits of it by dragging new power lines through scenic countryside.B This is an old problem. The launch of Britainsnationalelectricity grid in 1933 was decried for desecrating the landscape. More recent
11、ly, the location of wind farms has prompted similar debates. The difficulty with pylons is that they go everywhere. Scotland has had nearly five years of disputes over the planned 600pylon upgrade of a transmission line running from Beauly in the Highlands to the central belt where more electricity
12、is used. The same clashes will now play out in England and Wales. A new planning commission was set up in 2009 to speed up the glacial pace of infrastructure decisionmaking. But weighing economic demands against beauty remains a thorny and potentially time-consuming job.C Opponents of towering pylon
13、s say the answer is to bury power lines: at present only 950km of Britains 13,000km of highvoltage cable runs underground, most of it in urban areas. But sinking wires, which means clearing a corridor 17m to 40m wide and cannot be done in all terrains, carries an environmental toll too. “You are eff
14、ectively sterilising land use in the area,” says Richard Smith of National Grid; no planting, digging or building is allowed. That makes installing subsurface cables 12 to 17 times as pricey as overhead lines, according to National Grid (they also need replacing sooner). Since consumers pay for this
15、 through their electricity bills, everyone would have to fork out to protect the views and house prices of a few people.D So finding a new shape for pylons may be only one aspect of the coming power rows. But it will be a tricky one. Typically the best designs combine elegance with utility. Yet rath
16、er than being a feature in itself, the optimal pylon blends in with nature. Thats a tough task for 20 tons of steel, however impressively shaped.E The skeletal, lattice design of Britains electricity pylons has changed little since the first one was raised in 1928. Many countries have copied these “striding steel sentries”, as the poet Stephen Spender called them; more than 88,000 now march across the country
