It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society, where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties. Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately unclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility df increases in the cost of uranium in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy may bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programmes are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.
The writer’s attitude toward nuclear energy is_____.
选项
A、negative
B、favorable
C、tolerant
D、indifferent
答案
A
解析
推断题。意为:否定态度。文章第一句指出:有人说我们离不开核能。这里,实际上就暗示了:我们并非离不开核能。最后四句是文章的结论,这几句指出,虽然对核能存在着以上这些反对意见,核能项目还在不断上马,这些项目据说是为了满足工业生产消费的不断增长的需要。然而,这两方面是否将会继续增长,究竟能不能持续增长,都不是那么乐观。衡量(weigh up)一下双方(反对者和支持者)的论点不难看出:似乎有充足的经济和环境方面的原因促使我们开发使用其他能源,而不是核能。
