课时提能练(三十).阅读理解A(2019石家庄检测)Flat Holm is a picturesque landmass located in Britains Bristol Channel. The areas low energy needs have therefore been fulfilled by using oldfashioned solar panels(太阳能电池板) and diesel generator(柴油发电机). The beautiful island is now, however, becoming increasingly popular with tourists wishing to explore the rural landscape and view the islands seabird colonies.Though this is welcome news, meeting the islands growing energy needs without damaging its environment has been a challenge. Flat Holm team leader Natalie Taylor says, “Its really important that we have a really high functioning system. From an environmental point of view, we want to reduce the use of diesel generators so that we can have as small an ecological footprint as possible.”Fortunately, UKbased startup Renovagen had the perfect solution. The companys Rapid Roll Solar PV system consists of flexible solar panels that can be unrolled like a carpet from a trailer(拖车)within two minutes and instantly put to work. According to the company, a small panel can provide 11kw of power.The technology is the brainchild of Renovagens Managing Director John Hingley, who came up with the idea after seeing something used as a backup battery for mobile devices about five years ago. In addition to being easy to unfold, the rollable panels are also more costeffective to transport. Hingley says, “Compared with traditional rigid panels, we can fit up to 10 times the power in this size container.”The solar panel “carpets”， laid on the island in early October, are being used to provide electricity to its pub and lighthouse. In addition to providing power to remote islands like Flat Holm, Hingley hopes the Rapid Roll technology will be useful in areas affected by natural disasters. A good example is Puerto Rico, where most people have been without electricity since Hurricane Maria destroyed the power lines.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Renovagen公司发明的快速太阳能光伏系统，这种系统不仅给Flat Holm带来了能源，还有利于保护它的环境。1What leads to Flat Holms increasing energy needs?A.
