Of all the details in California regulators\’ plan to reduce incentives for installing rooftop solar systems, the most perplexing is the idea of charging customers a heavy monthly fee to go solar. The state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) plan, released in December, includes a \\
1.Why has the PUC released a plan according to the first paragraph?(C)
A. To regulate solar installation companies.
B. To increase subsidies for solar customers.
C. To levy a charge on rooftop solar systems.
D. To further promote solar power generation.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词the PUC released a plan和the first paragraph定位至第一段第二句，题干中的PUC是该句中Public Utilities Commission的缩写。第二句指出The state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) plan…includes a \\
2.What would utility companies most likely agree?(B)
A. The burden on low-income customers is slightly exaggerated.
B. Solar customers should pay for power network maintenance.
C. The compensation solar customers receive is reasonable.
D. Energy subsidies should be provided to stabilize electricity rates.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词utility companies和agree定位至第二段第二句，该句指出The state’s three big monopoly utility companies argue that solar customers are…not paying their fair share of the costs of maintaining the power network (该州的三大公用事业垄断企业认为太阳能用户……没有支付他们理应分摊的电网维护费用)，由此可知，公用事业垄断企业很可能会同意太阳能用户支付电网维护费用。B项“太阳能用户应支付电网维护费用”是对第二段第二句的适度推断。故本题选B。A项“低收入用户的负担被略微夸大了”与第二段第一句“不公平的成本分配……给低收入(电力)用户带来极大的负担”不符。C项“太阳能用户得到的补偿是合理的”与第二段第二句“该州的三大公用事业垄断企业认为太阳能用户得到的补贴太多了”不符。D项“应提供能源补贴以稳定电价”属于无中生有。
3.What is the analysis by Wood Mackenzie cited to show?(D)
A. It is sensible to reduce incentives for installing rooftop solar systems.
B. California’s changes are too mild to address inequities in electricity costs.
C. California’s plan would not affect electricity rates as the market is mature.
D. The PUC’s proposal would do harm to California’s clean energy program.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词the analysis by Wood Mackenzie定位至第三段第三句。该句指出研究结果，即能源研究公司伍德麦肯兹的分析发现，加州监管机构的计划会导致该州太阳能市场缩小一半。第二句分析原因：监管机构采取的措施过于激烈，可能会破坏加州最成功的清洁能源计划之一，因此D项“PUC的计划可能会破坏加州的清洁能源计划”是对第三段第二句的同义替换。故本题选D。A项“减少安装屋顶太阳能系统的激励措施是合理的”并非伍德麦肯兹的分析所要论证的内容。B项“加州的改革过于温和，无法解决电力成本不平等问题”与第三段第二句“监管机构不应该采取如此激烈的措施”不符。C项“由于市场已经成熟，加州的计划不会影响电价”与第三段第一句“随着市场的成熟和价格的下跌，慢慢减少激励措施是有道理的”不符。
4.What might the experts think of the \\(A)
A. It is an infeasible solution.
B. It is a righteous action.
C. It is a foundation stone.
D. It is an alarming signal.
解析：细节题。根据题干关键词experts和solar tax定位至第四段第一、三句，第三句中的the fixed monthly charge(固定月费)对应第一句中的a “solar tax”(“太阳能税”)。由第三句There is at least some agreement among experts that the fixed monthly charge is a clumsy way to address inequities in electricity costs (至少专家们一致认为，固定月费是解决电费不平等问题的笨方法)可推知，专家认为固定月费难以解决电费不平等问题。A项“它并非一个可行的解决办法”是对第四段第三句的适度推断。故本题选A。B项“它是一个正当的行为”与第四段第二句中“反对者的担忧是合理的”不符。C项“它是一个基石”与第四段第二句中“PUC的计划可能破坏加州可再生能源经济的基石”不符。D项“它是一个令人担忧的讯号”与第四段第二句中“反对者担心PUC的计划释放出了不好的讯号”不符。
5.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?(A)
A. The PUC’s proposal is a misguided attempt.
B. Cost inequality is a serious issue in California.
C. California leads the charge on \\
D. California’s solar market collapses overnight.
解析：主旨题。主旨题解题需寻找全文中心句，但本文首段和末段并未提出明确的中心句，因此需通过各段大意确定文章主旨。本文首段介绍了PUC计划的内容；第二段阐述该计划的目的；第三段指出该计划的措施过于激进，可能会给加州带来不利影响；
