    参考译文除了那些人们所熟知的能源,例如天然气、煤、石油、核能,我们还应该关注其他许多新能源。水力电能和潮汐能就是其中的两种。这两种能源的相似之处在于,它们都是可再生能源。但是,水力电能比潮汐能的使用范围要更广。事实上,水力电站已经为全世界提供了大量电能,而潮汐电站仍然处于最初的发展阶段。就地理位置而言,水力电站工程要建在湖泊和河流地区,而潮汐电站只能建在潮汐发生频率很高的河流入口处。不幸的是,这些地方很有限。目前,水力电站主要分布在挪威、加拿大、瑞典和巴西,而潮汐电站则位于法国、俄罗斯和中国。至于资金投入,两种电站均需要高投入。另一方面,它们所产出的利润都很低。实际上,与煤、石油和核能等传统能源相比,一个大型水力电站发电的成本要低。在生产资金方面,潮汐电站也要优于核能和石油电站。和水力电站一样,潮汐电站的预期寿命也很长。据估计,它们都能够运行100多年。在供电的持续性方面,潮汐电站不同于水力电站,因为潮汐电站只能间隙性供电。而水力电站能够持续供电。答案及解析 21.C 【精析】compatible兼容的;parallel平行的;similar类似的; identical完全相同的,一模一样的;similar常与介词in连用表示在某方面相似,这里表示水力电能和潮汐能的相似之处在于两者都可再生,故选C。
