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.

Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.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 it 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.26．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
What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A．We will lose much more than we can gain．B．Humans have begun destroying rainforests．C．People have a strong desire for resources．D．Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests．
The ___________ of gases such as carbon dioxide should be stabilized at their present level. A、emissionB、emitC、radiationD、evaporation
The effect that exhaust gas recirculation can reduce NOX formation is partly due to a reduction of the()concentration in the combustion zone and partly due to the content of water and carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas.A.OxygenB.NitrogenC.SulphurD.Freon
Theoretical perfect combustion in a diesel engine yields by-products of_____.A.aldehydes and carbon dioxideB.water vapor and carbon monoxideC.nitrogen and carbon monoxideD.water vapor and carbon dioxide
What could result in an incorrect oxygen concentration reading on the oxygen indicator ________．A.Exposure to carbon dioxide for no more than 1 minuteB.Exposure to carbon dioxide for more than 10 minutesC.Exposure to a very low concentration of sulfur dioxide for no more than 2 minutesD.None of the above
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
共用题干Natural Gas1 Natural gas is produced from reservoirs deep beneath the earth's surface. It is a fossil fuel（矿物燃 料）,meaning that it is derived from organic material buried in the earth millions of years ago.The main corn- ponent of natural gas is methane（甲烷）.2 The popularity and use of clean natural gas have increased dramatically over the past 50 years as pipeline infrastructure（基础设施）has been installed to deliver it conveniently and economically to millions of residential,commercial and industrial customers worldwide.Today,natural gas service is available in all 50 states in the U.S.,and is the leading energy choice for fueling American homes and industries.More than 65 million American homes use natural gas.In fact,natural gas is the most economical source for home energyneeds,costing one-third as much as electricity. In addition to heating homes,much of the gas used in the United States is used as a raw material to manufacture a wide variety of products,from paint,to fibers for clothing,to plastics for healthcare,computing and furnishings.Natural gas is also used in a significant number of newelectricity-generating power plants.3 Natural gas is one of the safest and cleanest fuels available. It emits（发出）less pollution than other fossil fuels sources. When natural gas is burned,it produces mostly carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and water va- por一the same substances emitted when humans breathe.Compared with some other fossil fuels,natural gas emits the least amount of carbon dioxide into the air when combusted（燃烧）一making natural gas the clea-- nest burning fossil fuel of all.4 The United States consumes about one-third of the world's natural gas output,making it the largest gas-consuming region in the world.The U.S.Department of Energy Information Administration forecasts thatnatural gas demand will grow by more than 50 percent by 2025.5 There are huge reserves of natural gas beneath the earth's surface.The largest reserves of natural gas can be found in Russia , West and North Africa and the Middle East. LNG（液化天然气）has been pro- duced domestically and imported in the United States for more than four decades.Today,the leading import-ers of LNG are Japan,Korea,France and Spain.Paragraph 4 ______________A:Popularity and Use of Natural GasB:Natural Gas Reserves and SupplyC:Natural Gas PricesD:Clean Fuel of ChoiceE:Disadvantages of Natural Gas F:Natural Gas Consumption

共用题干第一篇Carbon FootprintHow often do you travel by plane?How much electricity do you use?These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint.In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO2 are we responsible for?A new book might be able to help.The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy,and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created:the ingredients, the electricity used in the brewery，the equipment,the travel and commuting of the beer,and the packaging. It's amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation.And it's frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink.From Berners-Lee's calculations,it's clear that a pint(568ml)of locally-brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away,and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300g of CO2,but the imported beer produces 900g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager from the supermarket.Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work.Nothing is more environmentally-friendly than riding a bike,surely?Well,it depends on what you've had to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food.So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half,our footprint is 65g of CO2.However,if we eat bacon before the bike ride,it's 200g. In fact,bananas are good in general because they don't need packaging,they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.So,does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment?Absolutely not,for a start,if you cycle,you don't use your car,and the fewer cars on the road,the fewer traffic jams.And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars traveling at speed.Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!So maybe it's time for us all to start making some changes.Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer,please.To make our carbon footprints smaller,we should often________.A:cycle to workB:drink more local beerC:calculate the amount of CO2D:buy cheap things from the supermarkets
