Renewable Energy Sources
Today petroleum (石油)provides around 40% of the world's energy needs, mostly fuelling automobiles. Coal is still used, mostly in power stations, to cover one-quarter of our energy needs, but it is the least efficient, unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging fossil fuel (矿物燃料). Natural gas reserves could fill some of the gap from oil, but reserves of that will not last into the 22nd century either. Most experts predict we will exhaust easily accessible reserves within 50 years. Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more practical long-term energy solution. "Renewable" refers to the fact that these resources are not used faster than they can be replaced.
Hydroelectric (水力发电的)power is now the most common form. of renewable energy, supplying around 20% of world electricity. China's Three Gorges Dam is the largest ever. At five times the size of the US's Hoover Dam, its 26 turbines (涡轮机)will generate the equivalent energy of 18 coal-fired power stations. It will satisfy 3% of China's entire electricity demand.
In 2003, the first commercial power station to use tidal (潮汐的)currents in the open sea opened in Norway. It is designed like windmill (风车), but others take the form. of turbines.
As prices fall, wind power has become the fastest growing type of electricity generation-quadrupling (翻两番)worldwide between 1999 and 2005. Modern wind farms consist of turbines that generate electricity. Though it will be more expensive, there is more than enough wind to provide the world's entire energy needs. Wind farms come in onshore and offshore forms. They can often end up at spots of natural beauty, and are often unpopular with residents. And turbines are not totally harmless-they can interfere with radar, alter climate and kill sea birds. Scotland is building Europe's largest wind farm, which will power 200, 000 homes. The UK's goal is to generate one-fifth of power from renewable sources, mainly wind, by 2020. But this may cause problems, because wind is unreliable.
According to the passage, which of the following is the most polluting energy resource?
A.Petroleum.
B.Coal.
C.Natural gas
D.Water.

M: Well, the 1992 Maastricht Treaty proposed a single currency between the European Union. The participating countries decided on the name "Euro" at a summit in Madrid in 1995 and the currency was launched on January 1, 1999.
W: What is it worth?
M: When the Euro was launched in 1999, one Euro was worth 1.17 US dollars or 71 British pence. However, the weakness of the Euro zone economies compared with that of the United States, combined with the inexperience of the European Central Bank in dealing with the international markets, has meant that since its launch the value of the Euro had declined significantly. In December 2001, one Euro was worth little more than 89 cents or 63 pennies, a 20 percent drop on its initial value.
W: Do you think it will affect the daily life of ordinary people?
M: I suppose so. For example, one of the major headaches for participating countries has been the conversion of public telephones, vending machines, and shopping trolleys to accept Euro coins. Although a conversion process has been in full swing since before 1999, there are reports that some countries are not ready for the Euro.
W: So what does it look like?
M: There are seven notes designed by the Austrian artist Robert Kalina. The designs show the "seven ages" of European development, with windows and gateways on the front, and bridges on the back. In addition, there are eight coins designed by the Belgian artist Luc Luycx. All Euro coins are round, but have differences in composition, weight, thickness, and milling to ensure that the blind can easily distinguish between them. On the front there is a European design, common to all coins, and on the back a "national" design from the central bank of issue. Despite the "national identities", all coins can be spent throughout the Euro zone regardless of their origin.
When was euro launched?
A.1992
B.1995
C.1999
D.2001
