3.边听边译
The world’s largest solar thermal plant is set to begin producing power in the United States by the end of① the year. Wind and energy from the sun are generally considered clean, unlike energy from coal-burning power stations. However, environmentalists② now worry that too much solar power development could harm③ the local environment.
BrightSource Energy will deploy④170,000 specially designed mirrors to direct solar energy towards boilers on top of⑤ three power towers. The steam produced in the boilers will drive turbines⑥ to make electricity. Joe Desmond says the steam⑦ can reach temperatures of more than 260 degrees Celsius. Environmentalists generally support the idea of⑧ solar power, however, many are concerned about the effect of power plants on sensitive⑨ environment.
There have also been reports of birds dying at the Ivanpah Plant and others like it. Some birds died after colliding with⑩ solar equipment which the animals mistake for water. Other birds were killed or suffered burns after flying through the intense heat at the solar thermal plant. 世界上最大的太阳能热电厂计划于今年年底在美国开始发电。风能和太阳能不像燃煤电厂产生的能源，它们通常被认为是清洁的。然而，环保人士现在担心太阳能发电发展过快会损害当地环境。
亮源能源公司将在这里部署17万组特制的反射镜，将太阳能反射到3个发电塔顶部的锅炉上。锅炉产生的蒸汽将推动涡轮机发电。乔德斯蒙德表示，蒸汽的温度能够达到260摄氏度。环保人士通常支持太阳能发电的想法，然而，许多人都担心太阳能电厂对敏感环境的影响。
已经有报道称鸟类在艾文帕电厂及类似地区死亡。有些鸟撞上它们误以为是水的太阳能装置而死亡，还有些鸟在飞越太阳能热电厂的高温区域后死亡或被烧伤。
4.听写笔记" ① by the end of 到……的最后
by the end of是一个固定词组，the在以元音开头的[end]前面，读作[]。[end]的d和[v]的发生连读，该词组听起来就是[baiiendv]。by the end of表示“到……的最后”，与此相近的短语还有in the end“最后”；at the end of“在……的最后”。 ② environmentalists [invairnmentlists] n. 环境保护人士
遇到太长的词汇不用着急，这样的词汇一般来说是有规律的。environmentalist是environment“环境”加上表示形容词的后缀“al”，再加上名词词尾ist“主义者”构成的。同类的词还有completist“完美主义者”；idealist“理想主义者”等。 ③ harm [hɑ: rm] vt. 损害
根据前文的“worry”，可知此事为不好的事情，需要填写一个贬义的词汇。[kd]的d与[hɑ: rm]的首字母h这个半元音发生连读。而harm也可以做名词，常用词组有do harm to，意思为“损害……”例：One should never intend to do harm to others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to him.害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无。 ④ deploy [di''pli] v. 施展，部署
-ploy在英文中意思为“展开，用”，de相当于apart，是“分开”的意思。加上ploy“开展”，即“施展”的意思。同样还有employ“雇用”，是由em “进入”加上ploy构成；employment “雇佣”等。例：She was in continuous employment until the age of sixty-five.她连续不断地受雇于人，一直工作到65岁。 ⑤ on top of 在……顶上
on top of是一个固定搭配，表示“在……顶上”的意思。[tɑp]的p和[v]的发生连读，听起来是[ɑn tɑpv]。另外top常用的搭配还有top to toe “从头到脚”；top and bottom “上下，顶层及底层”等。 ⑥ turbines [''trbainz] n. 涡轮机
turb在英文中表示“搅动，混乱”，turb加上名词后缀“ine”表示“涡轮机”的意思。由turb构成的词汇还有turbid“混乱的”，是由turb加上形容词词尾“id”构成的，另外还有perturb“烦乱”；disturb “扰乱”; turbulence “骚动”等。而turbine常用的词组搭配是steam turbine“汽轮机，蒸汽轮机”。
