【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】本文把我们的行星(即地球)比作一个巨大的宇宙飞船,本句说大气层作为屏障,起着阻挡有害辐射和宇宙碎片的作用。act as意为“充当,担任,起……的作用”,正合题意。act like意为“像……一样”;act for意为“代理”;with加某些抽象名词可做状语修饰act(如:act with caution谨慎地行事),此三项在此均不恰当。
【答案解析】人们使用的太阳能来自太阳,太阳是能量的来源,故应选用energy source这一搭配。resource是“资源”的意思;origin意为“起源”;supply指“供应”,如可以说The sun affords us a seemingly endless supply of energy.由此可见,本题只有A项是正确答案。
