18、ith the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animals habitats.Over two years, the documentary crew traveled to S
19、outh Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate th
20、e animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, “One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific

26、ually heat the planet up.The study found that the US would get warmer if the number of turbines(涡轮机) were increased markedly. Researchers say theyll require much more land than previously thought, needing five to 20 times more space than earlier studies have suggested. And winds created by vast fiel
27、ds of turbines could mix warm and cool air, which makes the surface quite warm.Despite the potential drawbacks, however, the researchers argue wind energy still makes more sense for the environment than fossil fuels. Study coauthor and Harvard University scientist Professor David Keith argued that,
28、when it comes to energy production, there is no free lunch. “Wind beats coal by any environmental measure, but that doesnt mean that its effects can be ignored. We must use fewer fossil fuels to stop carbon production. In doing so, we must make choices between various low-carbon technologies, all of
29、 which have some environmental effects,” he said.More than ten previous studies have now observed local warming caused by US wind farms. Researchers suggested that solar power offers a less damaging energy source in the fight against climate change. In terms of temperature difference per unit of ene
30、rgy generation, solar power has about 10 times less effect than wind, and the solar power energy is mature in a wide range of fields. But there are other considerations. For example, solar farms are dense(密集的), while the land between wind turbines can be co-used for agriculture.Tidal power is an env
31、ironmentally-friendly energy source. In addition to being a renewable energy, it does not give off any climate gases and does not take up a lot of space. However, there are currently very few examples from real tidal power plants and their effects on the environment. Also, it is important to realize
32、 that the methods for generating electricity from tidal energy are relatively new technologies. It is projected that tidal power will be commercially profitable within2030 with better technology and larger scales.32. What is the purpose of the text?A. To introduce a study finding.B. To discuss the g

The reason for using wind energy.C. The disadvantages of wind farms.D. The working principle of wind farms.34. What d
34、o Professor David Keiths words suggest?A. Producing energy is easier than before.B. Consuming energy damages the environment.C. Burning coal should be totally stopped.D. Developing low-carbon technologies is hard.35. Which is recommended considering the environment and practical use?A. Wind energy.B
35、. Fossil fuel.C. Tidal power.D.
