According to the passage, atmospheric carbon dioxide performs all of the following functions EXCEPT: _____.
A
absorbing radiation at visible wavelengths
B
absorbing infrared radiation
C
absorbing outgoing radiation from the Earth
D
helping to retain heat near the Earth’s surface
参考解析
解析：
文章第一段第二句指出，“these molecules allow radiation at visible wavelengths, where most of the energy of sunlight is concentrated, to pass through”，所以此处二氧化碳的作用是允许可见光波长的辐射穿过大气层，而不是将其“吸收”，因此A项不符合文章描述，符合题目要求；选项B、C在第二句的后半句有所体现，选项D在第一段的倒数第三句可以找到对应。
