                ELECTRICITY: WEALTH, MONEY, POWER
Canadian industries have prospered for more than a century on the country’s abundance of cheap, reliable electrical power example. In fact Canada consumes more electricity on a per person basis than any country except for Norway 8
Electricity is a significant source of export income for Canada 9 But in the 1970s, Canadian exports rose sharply to address the U. S. demand for cheaper and more reliable sources of power. In 1985, exports of Canadian electrical power reached 1,400 million US dollars 10 Net electricity exports account for more than 60% of Canada’s balance of trade. Domestically Canada continues to generate electrical power, primarily from water. ..
11 Exports of electricity are now subject to forces far beyond the control of utility managers 12
A. Besides, electricity from coal and nuclear is 50% to 75% cheaper than many other industrial nations.
B. Generated primarily by water, our power supplies have attracted and supported energy-intensive industries such as mining.
C. It also ranks among the top three electricity producers in the world, behind the U. S. and Russia.
D. Canada and the U. S. imported and exported power in almost equal measures after 1901.
E. Two large nuclear power plants began to generate electricity.
F. Since then, electricity exports have declined but they have continued to exceed 700 million US dollars.

选项
答案G
解析 上一句提到：“如今影响电力出口的因素远远不只是用电部门的经理们了。”在选择项中乍一看应该是C无疑了：“但是，加拿大政府对这些因素无能为力。”原因就在这个“但是”(therefore)上了。从内容上看，这句上与上一句根本不是转折关系。在所剩的另外几项中，G项最好：“环境与贸易政策这些都影响电力的生产和贸易。”这里举出两个上一句中说到的“影响电力出口的因素”。
