The money set aside in negotiated
tradeoffs and the institution that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.
本文是一篇说明文。19世纪,美国政府拨款修建铁路和公路,这既带来了好处,也带来了一些不利。现在21世纪,一种新型的电力系统会给美国带来好处还是坏处,这是值得考虑的一个问题。在建这种新型的电力系统时,我们要记住铁路和公路的影响。
1.What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?
A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.
B. Some railroad stops remained underused.
C. Land in the West was hard to manage.
D. Land grants went into private hands.
答案:C。细节理解题。根据第二段的“...and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management.”可知,建铁路导致的问题是“土地所有权给土地管理带来了挑战”。A项是修建公路的影响;B项说一些铁路站一直未被充分利用,是错误的;D项原文未说。
.What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?
