录音中指出随着碳排放量的增加，空气中二氧化碳的含量从1750年以来已经增加了31%，自然通常可以把大部分碳排放吸收到海洋和森林中去，从而减少空气中碳的积累，因此题干正确。
【录音原文】
As a result of the steady rise in carbon emissions, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 31% since l750—a rate unprecedented in the past 20, 000 years. Nature usually absorbs a large portion of these emissions in oceans and forests, known as “carbon sinks”, thereby slowing the rate of accumulation in the atmosphere. However, recent trends suggest that carbon emissions are outpacing absorption.

We all know that humans are damaging the environment，but what can we do about it?Some people are trying to do their bit to be more environmentally friendly.Local councils in Britain encourage certain aspects of green living，such as recycling paper，tin，plastic and glass. They want to reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites(填埋场)，because they are running out of places to dump(倾倒)rubbish. In some areas rubbish for recycling is collected from your doorstep，but in other areas，you have to take it to a special recycling place，such as a bottle bank.Another way of reducing the amount of rubbish you create is to use reusable products instead of disposable ones. For example，some people use strong shopping bags or boxes for their groceries instead of plastic carrier bags，or use washable nappies instead of disposables.More people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint-the amount of carbon they use up. They try to reduce their carbon emissions(释放)by cycling，using public transport or an electric car，rather than driving gas-consuming vehicles. Some people choose not to fly for holiday trips because planes are the biggest producers of carbon emissions.You can make“green”choices when buying food too. It's best to buy food which was locally grown or produced so that it hasn't been imported by air，or shipped by road from far away.Houses can be environmentally friendly too. It takes less energy to heat a house if it has good insulation(绝缘，隔热)and double glazing(双层玻璃). You can also create your own energy if you have solar panels or a wind turbine fitted though these can be expensive. You can also save water by using a rain water container for washing the car or watering the garden. It's even possible to use a system where“grey water”-water which has been through a tap(水龙头)once already，is used to flush(冲洗)toilets. Some new housing projects are being built specifically to be as environmentally friendly as possible.The purpose of collecting reusable wastes is to______.A．save energy consumed in daily lifeB．reduce the amount of rubbish dumpedC．create a new way of green livingD．decrease the amount of carbon produced

The most effective way of applying carbon dioxide from a portable extinguisher to a fire is by ______．A.Forming a cloud cover over the flamesB.Directing the gas at the base of the flames in a slow sweeping motionC.Discharging the carbon dioxide into the heart of the flamesD.Bouncing the discharge off an adjacent bulkhead just above the burning surface
______, as the chemical extinguisher agent, should be used for an electric fire.A.dry chemical or foamB.foam or soda acidC.carbon dioxide or foamD.carbon dioxide or dry chemical
Passage 2If the population of the earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to sustain life on the planet. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms, which can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in conditions similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceships will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for men to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.On Venus there is a lot of__________.A. waterB. carbon dioxideC. carbon monoxideD. oxygen

问答题Practice 5 The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists. The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The lowering of the waters' pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century. But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change. "This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts." If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn. It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however. Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes. Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH. In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming. But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing — because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.
