范文:Fuels of the Future

字號:

「要求」
    在學(xué)校的科學(xué)宣傳周活動中,你應(yīng)邀以英文寫一篇關(guān)于未來能源的短文。其大意如下:
    在礦物原料日益減少的挑戰(zhàn)下,人類正在盡力開發(fā)替代能源。
    一種是核能。但由于使用核能會產(chǎn)生有害的核廢料,以及在核電站有核爆炸的危險,將核能投入大規(guī)模使用還有很長的一段路要走。
    人類通過使用先進(jìn)技術(shù),還可以開發(fā)利用太陽能。太陽能可以被用來發(fā)電,和為飛機提供動力。
    此外,風(fēng)能的開發(fā)也正在進(jìn)行中。面對能源危機,人類除了開發(fā)這些替代能源之外別無選擇。

    Fuels of the Future
    Challenged by the depletion of the world's fossil fuels, man is trying to develop alternate energy resources.
    One possibility is nuclear energy, but because of the harmful nuclear waste it will produce and the danger of atomic explosion in the nuclear power plant, there is still a long way to go to put nuclear energy into use on a large scale.
    By the use of advanced technology, man can take advantage of solar energy, this can be used to produce electricity so as to provide power for airplanes.
    In addition, research on wind energy is under way.
    In the face of energy crisis, man has no choice but to explore these alternate energy resources.
    「評語」
