难句突破：
(1) Not only will Google be hiring engineers and energy experts for its new initiative, known as RE
[主体句式] Not only will Google be…but it also…
[结构分析]这是一个并列句。前面的分句中，known as…过去分词结构是前面new initiative的定语;后面分句中，破折号后面的现在分词结构是前面companies的定语，在该定语中，that引导的定语从句修饰前面的those。
[句子译文] 谷歌不仅会为自己新的项目――RE
(2) They are eSolar, of Pasadena, which is specializing in solar-thermal power, using large fields of mirrors to concentrate sunlight and generate steam to run utility-scale electric turbines, and Makani of Alameda, which is developing wind energy technology that takes advantage of the much stronger and more reliable currents available at high altitudes.
[主体结构]They are eSolar and Makani.
[结构分析]这是一个复合句，eSolar后面是用来修饰它的以which引导的定语从句，using large…是现在分词结构修饰eSolar;Makani后面是修饰它的以which引导的定语从句，该定语从句中，that引导的从句是用来修饰technology的。
[句子译文] 这两家公司是帕萨迪纳的“e太阳能公司”和阿拉米达的Makani公司。“e太阳能公司”专业制造太阳能热能，用大片的镜子聚集太阳光生成蒸汽来推动多用途电力涡轮,而Makani公司是利用高地强力、可靠的气流来发展风力能源技术。
题目分析：
1.The word “fledgling” (Line 7, Paragraph 1) most probably means_____1. “fledgling”(第一段第七行)这个词最有可能的意思为_____
[A] inexperienced.[A] 没有经验的。
[B] promising.[B] 有前途的。
[C] new.[C] 新的。
[D] initiative.[D] 初步的，开始的。
[答案]C
[难度系数] ☆☆
[分析] 猜词题。根据上下文，这种公司包括太阳能技术、增强的地热、高地风力的公司，这是一种新兴的公司，因此，最为合适的选项为C。
2. Which one of the following statements is TRUE of the coal?2. 关于煤炭，下列哪个陈述是正确的?
[A] It is a kind of controversial fuel given its large quantity and its harm to the harm the environment.[A] 它是一种有争议的燃料，一方面储量巨大，另一方面却对环境有害。
[B] It is a plentiful and cheap fuel that will surely earn more market share.[B] 它是一种充足的、廉价的燃料，因此自然会赢得更多的市场份额。
[C] It will be totally replaced by the renewable energy in years because it produces the worst gas―carbon dioxide.[C]由于煤炭会产生一种最糟糕的气体―二氧化碳，因此在近几年内它就会完全被可再生能源所替代。
[D] It is supported by enthusiastic countries like China and U.S.[D] 它得到了诸如美国和中国这样的国家的热情支持。
[答案]A。
[难度系数] ☆☆☆
[分析] 细节题。根据第二段，选项A，从第二段的前两句话可以看出，煤炭由于其资源丰富且廉价、因此得到了广泛的使用，但同时又对环境造成了伤害，可见煤炭是一种颇具争议性的资源。。选项B，对于美国、中国是这种情况，但不一定对于其他国家也是。选项C，Google正在努力的目标是可再生能源产量可以供应旧金山城市规模大小的城市使用，但并不一定能完全取代煤炭，只能是逐步的，同时第二段里面有一句话，说煤炭是产生二氧化碳最严重的燃料，而不是产生了最糟糕的二氧化碳，因此C选项也不正确。因此，答案为A。
3. Google.org is a _____3. Google.org是一个_____
[A] conventionally type of organization.[A] 传统的慈善组织。
[B] equity investor in companies.[B] 投资公司股票的投资机构。
[C] a branch website of Google.com that focuses on charity activities.[C] Google.com的分支网站，专门负责慈善活动。
[D] environmental organization that specializes in promoting green fuel.[D] 致力于推动绿色燃料的使用的环境组织
[答案]A
[难度系数] ☆☆☆☆
[分析] 细节题。关键是要正确理解which is not a traditional charity but can make equity investments in companies这句话的句式结构，意为“不仅…而且…”，说Google.org不仅是一家传统的慈善组织，而且也投资公司股票;后面指出Google投资改善气候变化和全球贫困问题，这都是慈善行为。可以推断，这主要是一家慈善机构。C选项比较具有迷惑定，但是通过阅读全文我们可以发现Google.org看起来像是一个网站名，但是其实是一个组织。D选项把该组织定义为“环境组织”是错误的。正确答案为A选项。
4. Which one of the following is NOT true of RE
[A] It will be realized through investments in solar and wind energy companies.[A] 通过投资太阳能、风能公司可以实现该项目。
[B] It is a programme of environmental protection.[B] 这是环境保护项目。
[C] It is one of the measures taken to neutralize carbon.[C] 这是中化碳的一种方法。
[D] It can come into true in a few years.[D] 在近几年内该项目就可以实现。
[答案] A
[难度系数] ☆☆☆☆
[分析] 推理题。选项A，该项目和投资太阳能、风能公司是实现Google公司产出比煤炭更加低廉燃料的两种途径，并非有直接的手段联系。选项B在文章第五段提到了，是整治气候变化的一步，那么可以算是环保项目;C，第五段有提及“The company says it is on track in its goal to be carbon neutral in ”;D，既然公司的目标在几年内都可以实现，那么其中的一个步骤或项目也有望实现。由此可见，答案为A选项。
5. The best title of this passage is_____5. 这篇文章最好的题目为_____
[A] Google’s RE
[B]Google, the Energy Revolutionary.[B] 谷歌，能源革命者。
[C] Google, the Environmental Protector.[C] 谷歌，环境保护者。
[D] Google’s Renewable Energy Project.[D] 谷歌可再生能源项目。
[答案] B
[难度系数] ☆☆
[分析]主旨题。这篇文章主要讲述了谷歌要开发出一种比煤炭价格低的可再生能源燃料，从而可以提供低价的能源，也可以保护环境。A，该项目只是其中一个举措;B,主要就是谈到能源创新，因此这个题目比较合适;C，主要还是关于能源，不只是关于环境;D，文章并未一一列举项目，只是给出了一些情况。答案为B选项。
