从“蔚来汽车”，攻破雅思新能源类问题！

2018-09-20

蔚来汽车?这是个什么东东?

上市次日暴涨76%?感觉好像错过了1个亿!

啊…此时此刻，我想吟诗一首，于是我百度了一下…

NIO is a global start-up automobile manufacturer based in China, specializing in designing and developing high-performance, premium electric autonomous vehicles. NIO hasR&D and design experts from around the world with significant technology and management backgrounds from leading automobile and high-tech companies, with more than 4,000 employees in its 19 locations.[citation needed] The company is also involved in the FIA Formula E Championship, the world’s first single-seater, all-electric racing series. The name for the company in China is Weilai. NIO was founded by the Chairman of Bitauto and NextEV, William Li. After launch, several companies went in to invest, these includingTencent, Temasek, Baidu, Sequoia, Lenovo, TPG and other world-renowned investment institutions. Its track car the NIO EP9 was debuted the same day the brand was established. (Wikipedia, 2018)

原来是一家中国的电动车生产商，并且是由腾讯、百度、联想、红杉资本、德太投资等互联网、金融实力大咖投资。感觉好像还是蛮厉害的~公司成立才4年，就去上市了，年轻有为啊……哎不对，都上市了，怎么还没见过一辆蔚来汽车呢……我深深地陷入了思考……

原来还没有量产…好吧，不过总感觉哪里怪怪的…不过，既然已经上市了，还能连续暴涨，说明还是受到华尔街精英看好的，毕竟新能源是未来大势所趋么~

好，那我们就来说说新能源，新能源是雅思阅读和写作的常客，是高频话题，因此跟新能源有关的表达和素材，是烤鸭们必备的哦~

首先，我们看看新能源的表达。小伙伴们，你会用英语说“新能源”吗?

好了，不是new energy，不用想我也知道你打算说这个词。一般学术英语中表达新能源有三种方法：

1.所谓“新能源”，指的是可再生的能源，因此是renewable energy

2.英文中当出现一个新的说法的时候，往往会用alternative这个单词来表达“新”，所以可以说alternative source of energy

3.“新能源”是相对于“旧能源”而言的，即“非化石燃料”，因此可以说non-fossil-based fuels

以上三种说法都是在雅思阅读中出现过的哦~大家要牢记，可以用在写作中。

那么在写作中，关于新能源的素材大家需要知道什么呢?

大家先来看看以往雅思写作中关于新能源的考题：

●Governments should make more effort to promote alternative sources of energy. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

●Fossil fuels ( coal, oil, natural gas) are the main sources in many countries, but in some countries the use of alternative sources of energy ( wind energy and solar energy) are encouraged. To what extent do you think it is a positive or negative development?(090530)

●With the increasing demand for energy sources of oil and gas, people should look for sources of oil and gas in remote and untouched natural places. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages of damaging such areas? (20140628)

●Nuclear energy is a better choice for meeting increasing demand. Do you agree or disagree?(20130907)

可以看得出，雅思写作中围绕“新能源”的话题的语料主要集中在：

1.新能源与化石燃料优劣势的对比。

2.政府是否应该推动新能源发展?

3.开采化石燃料对人们生活的影响。

4.太阳能/风能/潮汐能/核能各自的优劣势。

由于篇幅问题，我们在这里主要讨论一下新能源与化石燃料优劣势的对比。

Pros and cons of renewable energy:

Pros –

1.Stable Energy Prices (化石燃料的供应增长或减少会影响通过膨胀，从而影响价格;新能源的价格则取决于政府对基础设施的花费)

2.Reliability (化石燃料是会枯竭的，但是新能源是永久存在的，只要太阳照常升起、风不停歇、海浪持续潮涨潮落)

3.Low Greenhouse Gas Emissions (化石燃料燃烧会产生二氧化碳以及其他的有毒气体，但是新能源则会很少，甚至没有)
