News Report 2

Last week, France announced that the country will pave 621 miles of road with solar panels over the next five years with the goal of providing cheap, renewable energy to five million people. Called the Ward Way, the roads will be built through joint efforts with the French road building company Colas and the National Institute of Solar Energy. The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are only about a quarter of inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. The panels are also designed so that they can be installed directly on top of the existing roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install. France is the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a 229-foot long bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. However, this is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public highways.  

3: What was France’s purpose of constructing the Ward Way?

4: What is special about the solar panels used in the Ward Way?

答案：

3. B) Providing clean energy to five million people.
4. C) They can be laid right on top of existing highways.

【听力翻译】

上周，法国宣布将在未来5年内铺设一条长达为621英里的太阳能公路，

以期为500万民众提供便宜的可再生的能源。

这条公路叫做Wattway，将由法国道路建设公司Colas与国家太阳能研究所联合建造。

在过去的五年里，Colas公司一直致力于研发一种太阳能电池板，该板只有四分之一英寸厚，

却足以承受高峰期的交通流量而不损坏或者打滑。

经过特殊设计，这些电池板可以直接安装在现有道路表层，

它们相对便宜并且易于安装。

法国并非是第一个考虑在道路上安装太阳能电池板的国家。

2015年11月，荷兰铺设了一条长达229英尺的太阳能自行车道，这是为将来的项目进行的一项测试。

然而，这是第一次将电池板设计成可直接铺设在现有道路表层，

同时也是第一次将电板安装于公共道路的项目。

请根据你刚刚听到的新闻报道回答问题3和问题4。

问题3：法国建设Wattway的目的是什么？

问题4：Wattway中使用的太阳能电池板有何特别之处？

3. B) Providing clean energy to five million people.
4. C) They can be laid right on top of existing highways.
