认识减少碳排放的作用
一、阅读理解

Climate change is a global challenge. One way to fight it is by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. New rearch shows that trees planted in China have helped in this fight.
A recent study in the journal Nature shows that the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed (吸收) by new forests in two parts of China is more than we thought. The areas are in the northeastern Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces and the southwestern Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. They make up about 35 percent of China’s land-bad (基于陆地的) carbon sinks (碳汇). A carbon sink is a natural area like a forest or ocean that absorbs more-carbon dioxide than it emits (排放). Carbon sinks help to
reduce the amount of COin the atmosphere.
China’s goal is to peak (达到峰值) its CO emissions (排放) before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality (中和) by 2060, Xinhua reported. Carbon neutrality refers to removing as much CO as one puts into the air.
According to study co-author Yi Liu at the Chine Academy of Sciences, “the afforestation (植树造林) activities described in our Nature paper will play a role in reaching that goal.”
1. A recent study in Nature shows that ________.
A. China has rious air pollution
B. China has planted the most trees in the world
C. China has fewer COemissions (排放) now
D. China has planted fewer trees
2. Carbon sinks will ________.
A. absorb more CO than they emit B. give off CO emissions more quickly
C. relea less CO into the air D. have no CO in their air
3. According to Xinhua, China ________.
A. is the world’s largest emitter of CO
B. will bring CO emissions down after 2030
C. will not relea CO in the future
D. will reach carbon neutrality by 2030
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE in the passage?
A. One way to fight climate is by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
B. Trees planted in China have helped fight against climate change.

C. New forests in two parts of China absorbed more carbon dioxide than we thought.
D. 35 percent of China’s land has been affected by CO emission.
5. What do we know from the story?
A. It takes a long time for carbon sinks to form. B. Climate change is no longer a rious problem.
C. More trees will be planted in China in the future. D. China has beaten climate change.
【答案】CABD C
【解析】本文报道了中国的植树造林在应对全球气候变化中起到的重大作用。
1. 推理判断题。根据“A recent study in the journal Nature shows that the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 丧宴new 显示英文forests in two parts of China is more than we thought”可知，《自然》杂志最近的一项研究表明，中国现在的二氧化碳排放量减少了，故选C。
2. 细节理解题。根据“A carbon sink is a natural area like a forest or ocean that absorbs 跆拳道英语more-carbon dioxide than it emits. Carbon sinks help to reduce the amount of CO in the atmosphere”，可知碳汇吸收的二氧化碳要比排放的多，故选A。
3. 细节理解题。根据“China’s goal is to peak its CO emissions before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060, Xinhua折纸礼物盒 reported”，可知中国将在2030年后降低二氧化碳排放量，故选B。
4. 细节理解题。根据“A recent study in the journal Nature shows that the amount of carbon dioxide 熊猫的英语absorbed by new forests in two parts of China is more than we thought. The areas are in the northeastern Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces and the southwestern Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. They make up about 35 percent of China’s land-bad carbon sinks”，可知是说这两个地区森林吸收的二氧化碳量约占中国陆地碳汇的35%，而不是中国35%的土地受到了二氧化碳排放的影响；“35 percent of China’s land has been affected by CO emission”陈述错误，故选D。
5. 推理判断题。通读全文，结合“Climate change is a global challenge. One way to fight it is by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. New rearch shows that trees planted in China have helped in this fight”，可知植树造林有利于实现减少碳排放的目标，所以未来会种植更多的树木，故选C。

Did you e snow in your home town last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before? “There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986,” said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 ºC, the temperature in North China has gone up by 1.4 ºC in only 50 years.
China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放), becau it’s the main reason for global warming. We plan to cut energy u by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.
Can you slow global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is nt out into the air.
Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear ud clothes. Wearing your brother’s, sister’s or dad’s old T-shirts means you save the energy.
