【参考答案解析】A
【要点综述】文章主要讲述了日本正在考虑开发地热能这样一件事,因为日本是地震多发国家,国家地热能非常丰富,所以地热能将是日本的新型替代能源。
1.D 文章主要讲述了日本正在考虑开发地热能,所以是围绕地热能的话题展开。
故选D项。
2.B 从第六段“Fornow,geothermalenergymakesuplessthan1percentoftheenergyneedsinJapan,whichhasfordecadesreliedheavilyonfossilfuelsandatomicpower.”可知,日本地热能不到1%,主要依赖于化石燃料和原子能。
故选B项。
3.A 从倒数第四段“…addingthatregulationsprotectingnaturewouldneedtoberelaxedforgeothermalenergytogrow.”可知,要开发地热能,需要将现行的规章制度进行改变,故选A项。
4.B 从“Producingelectricityusinghotspringsisadecadeslongproject.”可知,HideakiMatsui认为地热能是个长期的项目,故选B项。
5.C 从最后两段“…believedJapancouldproduce80,000megawatts(兆瓦)andmeetmorethanhalfitselectricityneedswithgeothermaltechnology…”可知,日本在地热能方面有着巨大的潜力,故选C项。
