    These two sources are【21】______ in that they are both renewable. 【22】______ , hydropower is more widely used than tidal. In【23】______ , a substantial amount of electricity is already produced in HEP (hydroelectric power)stations worldwide, 【24】______ tidal stations are still in the very early【25】______ of development.

In fact, a large scale HEP plant is capable of producing power more【33】______ than conventional sources, such as coal, oil and nuclear plants. Tidal power also compares【34】______ with nuclear and oil generated electricity, 【35】______ the amount of money on production. 【36】______ HEP stations, tidal constructions have a long life【37】______ . It is estimated that they can operate for over 100 years. With respect to【38】______ of supply, tidal stations【39】______ from HEP ones in that they often can only supply power【40】______. HEP stations, however, pro vide a constant supply of electricity.

选项 A、Like
B、Except
C、Regarding
D、With
答案A
解析 like像…一样；except除…之外；regarding关于；with prep．和…在一起。下一句说，据估计水力电站和潮汐电站能够运行100多年，因此这里指的是像水力电站一样，潮汐电站也有很长寿命，故选A。
