14．Japan's nuclear crisis（危機(jī)）has caused global alarm and reviews of safety at atomic power plants around the world．
"Japan's nuclear crisis was mainly public panic，not radiation risk"，an Australian expert，Michele Kearney，remained cheerful about the future development of international nuclear industry．
Professor Barry Brook，the director of Climate Science at Australian University，said that the crisis will lead international governments to improve measures to protect nuclear plants against extreme natural events，but is unlikely to cut down the use of nuclear power．
"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical，not nuclear，"Brook said，adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated，the food that they eat，and the rocks the air and the sunlight，all of that are natural radiation they experienced．"
Graham Andrew，an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency （IAEA） said，"To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan，there must be a high regard given to matters of safety．"
Denis Flory，an IAEA vice director-general and head of the Department of Nuclear Safety and Security，said，"What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture，with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards，so these are two aspects which must go hand-in-hand and which must go together with a very strong transparency （透明） process．"
Flory said he believes that since Fukushima，more and more people have considered that strong safety measures are"the only way forward"when it comes to developing nuclear energy．
Currently，the IAEA's nuclear safety standards are not a must for member states．However，if a member state is receiving IAEA technical cooperation support，it is required to adopt the agency's safety standards．
It will likely take some time to come to lasting agreements on how nuclear safety must develop，but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards．
67．Which word best describes Brook's feeling about Japan's nuclear crisis？B
A．Worried． B．Calm． C．Terrified． D．Confused．
68．The underlined"regard"is closest in meaning toB．
A．respect B．concern C．standard D．education
69．What does the underlined"two aspects"refer to？C
A．A strong safety authority and safety standards．
B．A strong safety culture and a strong safety authority．
C．Development of nuclear energy and a strong safety culture．
D．Development of nuclear energy and a strong transparency process．
70．What can be inferred from the last paragraph？B
A．It is impossible to cut down the use of nuclear power．
B．The final agreements on nuclear safety standards are yet to come．
C．Member states of the IAEA have to adopt the agency's safety standards．
D．A minister-level conference is being held to discuss stronger safety standards．
分析 本文講述了日本核電站泄漏事故給世界核能的安全利用問題敲響了警鐘，并對(duì)核能利用的安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)協(xié)議的達(dá)成充滿了期望．
解答 67．B 68．B 69．C 70．B
67．B 根據(jù)"It should be kept in mind that the explosions at the Japanese reactors were chemical，not nuclear，"Brook said，adding that"People don't understand that their bodies are radio-activated，the food that they eat，and the rocks the air and the sunlight，all of that are natural radiation they experienced．"可知，Brook 認(rèn)為這次事故沒有那么可怕，不是核泄漏，說明他很鎮(zhèn)定，故答案為B
68．B 根據(jù)To better prevent an accident like the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan，there must be a high regard given to matters of safety．"
可知，此處的regard應(yīng)該是"關(guān)系，憂慮"的意思，故答案為B
69．C 根據(jù)What is needed is that whatever development of nuclear energy cannot be seen without a very strong safety culture，with a very strong safety authority with very strong safety standards可知，此處的two aspects應(yīng)該指的是核能利用和穩(wěn)固的安全措施的發(fā)展，故答案為C
70．B 根據(jù)but Flory said that a minister-level conference planned for June will mark the beginning of a process of building stronger standards．可知，對(duì)核能利用的安全標(biāo)準(zhǔn)協(xié)議的達(dá)成很快來臨了，故答案為B
點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng) （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
