For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four ch

3、oices marked A）, B）, C） and D）. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Fuel of the FutureWhich source of renewable energy is most important to the European Union? Solar power, perhaps? （Europe has three-quarters of the worlds total installed capacity

4、 of solar photovoltaic energy.） Or wind? （Germany trebled its wind-power capacity in the past decade.） The answer is neither. By far the largest so-called renewable fuel used in Europe is wood.In its various forms, from sticks to pellets （颗粒） to sawdust, wood （or to use its fashionable name, biomass

5、） accounts for about half of Europes renewable-energy consumption. In some countries, such as Poland and Finland, wood meets more than 80% of renewable-energy demand. Even in Germany, home of the Energiewende （energy transformation） which has poured huge subsidies into wind and solar power, 38% of n

6、on-fossil fuel consumption comes from the stuff. After years in which European governments have boasted about their high-tech, low-carbon energy revolution, the main beneficiary seems to be the favoured fuel of pre-industrial societies.The idea that wood is low in carbon sounds bizarre. But the orig

7、inal argument for including it in the EUs list of renewable-energy supplies was respectable. If wood used in a power station comes from properly managed forests, then the carbon that billows out of the chimney can be offset （抵消） by the carbon that is captured and stored in newly planted trees. Wood

8、can be carbon-neutral. Whether it actually turns out to be is a different matter. But once the decision had been taken to call it a renewable, its usage soared.In the electricity sector, wood has various advantages. Planting fields of windmills is expensive but power stations can be adapted to burn

9、a mixture of 90% coal and 10% wood （called co-firing） with little new investment. Unlike new solar or wind farms, power stations are already linked to the grid. Moreover, wood energy is not intermittent （断续的） as is that produced from the sun and the wind: it does not require backup power at night, o

10、r on calm days. And because wood can be used in coal-fired power stations that might otherwise have been shut down under new environmental standards, it is extremely popular with power companies.Money grows on treesThe upshot was that an alliance quickly formed to back public subsidies for biomass.

11、It bound together greens, who thought wood was carbon-neutral; utilities, which saw co-firing as a cheap way of saving their coal plants; and governments, which saw wood as the only way to meet their renewable-energy targets. The EU wants to get 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020; it would miss this target by a country mile if it relied on solar and wind alone.The scramble to meet that 2020 target is creating a new sort of energy business. In the past, electri
