[解析]
(1)词句猜测题。根据上文In recent years,photovoltaic (光电池的) stations have been constructed(近年来,已经建成了光伏电站。)可推知,划线词所在的句子Under the sun's rays,rows of PV panels (面板) that generate electricity look like a blue ocean. (在阳光下,一排排generate电的光伏板看起来就像一片蓝色的海洋。)由此可知,generate意为"生产",generate electricity意为"发电"。A.Produce.生产;B.Waste.浪费;C.Use.使用;D.Store.储存。故选A。
(2)细节理解题。根据文章第三段In rainy conditions when the station cannot generate electricity,the storage facility acts as a power bank,providing energy for about two hours.(在下雨的情况下,当电站不能发电时,存储设施就像一个电源银行,提供大约两个小时的能量。)可知,在下雨天,人们从储存设施中获取能源。故选D。
(3)推理判断题。根据文章最后一段By May,the total installed capacity for renewable energy in Xinjiang had passed 8,400 megawatts (兆瓦) and an additional 8,259 megawatts of new energy facilities are currently under construction(截至5月,新疆可再生能源总装机容量超过8400兆瓦,新能源设施在建8259兆瓦。)可推知,从Ding Biwei的话中我们可以知道新疆有大量的可再生能源。故选B。
(4)文章出处题。文章主要介绍了塔克拉玛干沙漠曾被称为"死亡之海",现在已成为中国西北部新疆维吾尔自治区绿色发展的驱动力。由此可推知,文章应该出现在报纸上。故选C。
