参考解析
解析：细节题。根据原文可知以下产生的二氧化碳量分别是：A选项，一品脱当地酿造的啤酒为300克，B选项，一品脱进口啤酒为900克，C选项，骑车前吃的香蕉为65克， D选项，骑车前吃的培根肉是200克。
词义推断题。第三段第二句：原料、xxx所用的电量、设备、啤酒的运输和包装。由此可知A最合理，B’选项与原文的“设备”重复了，D选项同理，C选项与包装重复了。
推断题。从第六段可以看出骑车是环保的，产生的碳足迹是少的，其他选项都没有在原文中体现这个意思。
推断题。第五段最后一句：香蕉总体来说是很好的，因为它们无需包装，可以使用船只运输，并且在自然光照下生长。这些都是说香蕉产生的碳足迹少，并没有提到它是健康食品。A、B、D原文均有体现。
主旨题。本文大意是阐述了我们的碳足迹量有多少。A、B和C均只是原文中的一点。
