題目

According to the passage, how can people benefit more when making a decision? A. By considering all options thoroughly. B. By following their “gut feelings.” C. By collecting many options. D. By asking a mentor for advice.The history of windmills, from ancient grain grinders to modern wind turbines, illustrates a long journey ofinnovation and adaptation. The earliest windmills used sturdy reed mats for blades on horizontal axes in the 600s.Starting in the 14th century, Dutch engineers utilized windpumps to reclaim land from low-lying valleys. However,the advent of the Industrial Revolution marked a decline in windmill use, as the need for more reliable energysources grew to power the burgeoning factory system. The steam engine emerged as a pivotal invention during thisera, offering the consistent power necessary for mass production.The transition to electricity generation saw the creation of wind turbines in Europe and North America, withthe first wind turbine lighting up James Blyth’s home in Scotland in 1887 and the first grid-connected turbine inVermont in 1941. Despite their potential, wind energy became overshadowed by fossil fuels due to their reliabilityand abundance. Yet, the Oil Crisis of the 1970s, alongside environmental concerns, reignited interest in wind as asustainable energy source, leading to the establishment of the world’s first wind farm in New Hampshire. Currently,wind farms are a common sight in various locales, from the U.S. Midwest’s agricultural landscapes to California’sAlta Wind Energy Center, the nation’s largest wind farm. Internationally, Brazil, Russia, India, and China arerapidly expanding their wind energy capacity, with China’s Gansu Wind Farm set to produce an impressive 20,000megawatts. Likewise, developing regions in Africa and Southeast Asia are investing in wind technology, withKenya’s Lake Turkana Wind Power project poised to supply electricity to countless homes and businesses. Thisevolution from traditional windmills to contemporary wind farms underscores a global shift towards renewableenergy, highlighting wind power’s significant role in meeting modern energy demands while addressingenvironmental challenges.
