2021 年全国卷高中英语《经济学人》外刊新高考培优讲义[07-05] 作文素材阅读理解语法词汇拓展积累 （含词汇讲解、长难句解析、翻译技巧、背景知识、写作积累：均由阿满编写） 原文[续 07-04] Most important, a 100% renewables target confuses means with ends. The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Putting too much emphasis on wind, solar and other renewables may block off better carbon-reduction paths. After decades of investment, it is wrong to leave nuclear power off the table. Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose because it chose to phase out nuclear power and so burned more coal. New technologies, such as “direct air capture” systems designed to separate carbon dioxide from the air, may in time prove vital. 最重要的是，100%使用可再生能源供电的目标混淆了手段与目的。对地球而 言，首要任务是遏制温室气体尤其是二氧化碳的净排放。过分强调风能、太阳能及 其他可再生能源可能会阻断更好的碳减排途径。在投资核电长达数十年之后，把核 电排除在外是错误之举。德国选择逐步淘汰核能，结果燃烧了更多煤炭，令碳排放 不降反升。从空气中分离二氧化碳的“直接空气捕获”系统等新技术最终可能会至 关重要。词汇讲解 .priority priority 可以表示“优先的事物”、“应优先解决的问题”或者“工作重点”这 类含义。它有常见搭配 first/top/main priority o The children are our first priority. o After several burglaries in the area, security is now a high priority (=very important and needing attention soon) . o With so little money available, repairsmust remain a low priority (=not important and not needing attention soon) . o The customer is high on our list of priorities . o List your tasks in order of priority (=most important first) . 相关构词知识拓展 词汇拆解：priority = prior + -ity 构词成分：英语词汇 prior 表示“优先的” 构词成分：词缀 -ity 用以与形容词结合构成名词，表示“状态” (state)、“特 性” (quality)、“程度” (degree) 示例补充：alkalinity, theatricality, purity, oddity, abnormality, majority, probity block sth ⇔ off该搭配常用来描述“完全阻断通路等” (to completely close something such as a road or an opening)，比如文中这里 block off better carbon-reduction paths “阻 断更好的碳减排途径” .path path 本表示“小路”、“小径”、“轨道”、“路线”这类含义，它的比喻引 申用法比较灵活 o She has had a difficult path through life. 她生活中有过一段困难的 历程 o the path to success, victory, riches, power, ruin 通往成功﹑胜利﹑ 富裕﹑权力﹑毁灭的道路 .phase phase 作动词使用的时候有两个常见搭配 phase sth in 和 phase sth out phase sth in 表示“逐步或分阶段引进某事物” (introduce sth gradually or in stages) phase sth out 表示“逐步或分阶段撤出或中止某事物” (withdraw or discontinue sth gradually or in stages) o The use of lead-free petrol is now being phased in. 无铅汽油的应 用现正逐步推广 o The old currency will have been phased out by 1990. 旧币分阶段至 1990 年将全部禁止流通. 写作积累 •Most important, a 100% renewables target confuses means with ends. 最重要的是，100%使用可再生能源供电的目标混淆了手段与目的。 •The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. 对地球而言，首要任务是遏制温室气体尤其是二 氧化碳的净排放。 •Putting too much emphasis on wind, solar and other renewables may block off better carbon-reduction paths. 过分强调风能、太阳能及其他 可再生能源可能会阻断更好的碳减排途径。 •After decades of investment, it is wrong to leave nuclear power off the table. 在投资核电长达数十年之后，把核电排除在外是错误之举。 •phase out nuclear power 逐步淘汰核能 •New technologies may in time prove vital. 新技术最终可能会至关重要 --- 未完待续 ---
