    阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Nuclear energy has always been controversial．But since the tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima(Japan)last year the issue is back in the headlines．And the world is divided-some countries are planning more nuclear plants, while others have promised to shut theirs down．

    　　After Fukushima, Germany decided to switch off all its nuclear plants by 2022．Switzerland and Italy are also phasing out nuclear power．But France and the United States remain staunch supporters of atomic energy．In fact, almost 80％ of France's electricity comes from nuclear power, the highest percentage in the world．And in the US, the Obama administration said it “continues to support the expansion of nuclear power, despite the crisis in Japan．”

    　　Nuclear supporters claim nuclear power can help the environment．Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear power doesn't create greenhouse gases．So, pro-nuclear countries argue that nuclear power allows them to generate energy without contributing to climate change．Britain's chief scientific adviser(John Beddington)supports this view．He recently said that the world doesn't have the luxury of ignoring nuclear energy．

    　　Nuclear power is also relatively cheap．Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro and wind power may be clean, but they’re expensive; and right now, they require a lot of investment．This higher cost of using “green energy” is usually passed onto the consumer．So, while many people may prefer their energy to come from a renewable source, not so many are prepared to pay higher energy bills．This is of particular concern while the world economy is in such bad shape．

    　　The main argument against nuclear energy is that it isn't safe．For a start, nuclear waste is very difficult to dispose of, and remains toxic to humans for thousands of years．And even before Fukushima, there were several high-profile nuclear disasters．The most famous is probably the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, in the Ukraine．The radiation from the meltdown spread all over Europe, affecting thousands．

    　　The nuclear energy issue is very complex．And it doesn't look like it'll be resolved anytime soon．As a Japanese commentator recently said, “it's been a bad year for the ‘nuclear village’, but I don't think they’re down and out yet．” The battle continues．

    Scars of Love

    Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

    He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator（短吻鳄） was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

    Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

    The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma （外伤）, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

    You and I can identify with （认同） that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

    56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

       A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

    C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

    57. From the passage we can infer ________.

       A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

       B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

       C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

       D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

    58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

       A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

       C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
