  • 第2题:

    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 life

    B.reduce the amount of rubbish dumped

    C.create a new way of green living

    D.decrease the amount of carbon produced


    正确答案:B
    解析:见第二段,他们想减少运往填埋场的垃圾,因为已经没有地方可以倾倒垃圾了。所以收集可再用垃圾的主要目的是为了减少垃圾倾倒。

  • 第3题:

    The most effective way of applying carbon dioxide from a portable extinguisher to a fire is by ______.

    A.Forming a cloud cover over the flames

    B.Directing the gas at the base of the flames in a slow sweeping motion

    C.Discharging the carbon dioxide into the heart of the flames

    D.Bouncing the discharge off an adjacent bulkhead just above the burning surface


    正确答案:B

  • 第4题:

    Passage 2
    If 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. water
    B. carbon dioxide
    C. carbon monoxide
    D. oxygen

    答案:B
    解析:
    由第--f&的最后一句话中的“there is only a tiny amount ofwater there(Venus)”得知,A选项错误。第三段结尾说明,藻类通过火箭运往金星,然后“In a fairly short time,the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon”.说明金星上有大量的二氧化碳。C和D选项错误。故选B。

    10._________
    A: amount
    B: deal
    C: number
    D: count

    答案:A
    解析:
    固定搭配put the blame for…,表示“把……归咎于……”,所以B项put为正确答案。
    文中the world's temperatures前需要补充一个介词,意为:在全球范围内气温的上升,因此应该在A和B两项之间选择。而at后面只可以跟某个小地点,根据文意,只有in才是正确答案。
    联系上下文语境,根据句意可知作者要表达的是“以往任何时候”,因此选用 ever。其他三项均不符合句意。
    固定搭配at risk,意为“濒临危险,处境危险”。
    习惯用法according to sb.意为“据某人所说”,故选D。
    根据句意,作者要举例子,习惯用法为such as...,因此选A.
    根据句意,作者举例子是按照递进的顺序,从飓风、干旱到排在后面的是更加严重的问题。strict“严格的”, strong“强烈的”, heavy“沉重的,巨大的”,只有severe意为 “严峻的,严重的”,因此B是正确答案。
    此处意为:导致世界各地的海平面上升,所以在A和C之间选择。raise意为“举起,抬起,唤起”,有主动意味,rise表示客观的上升,因此是正确答案。
    联系上下文可知此句意为:环保组织在向政府施加压力,催促政府采取措施减少二氧化碳的排放量,显然pressure(施加压力)最为恰当。
    根据句意,减少二氧化碳的排放量,二氧化碳是不可数名词,因此amount 是正确答案。
    固定搭配give off意为“排放(气体、液体、光)等”,文中表达的是排放二氧化碳气体,故选A。而give away意为“泄露,分发”,give up意为“放弃”, give over意为“停止,交出”。
    固定搭配in favour of…,意为“支持……,赞成……”,所以选C。
    根据句意可知作者表达的是“发电站”,为固定词组power station.
    联系上下文语境可知上文叙述了很多科学家的想法,下文转而言及另外还有一些科学家的想法,此处有转折之意,且空格在两句未完的话之间,因此选择however。
    根据句意,还需要等几百年,several表示“几个”,符合句意。其他三个选项均不合适。

  • 第7题:

    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.

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    科学家们说世界上的海洋正在慢慢变“酸”。
    来自加利福尼亚的研究人员称这种变化是由于大气中二氧化碳含量过高造成的。
    他们警告说,目前海水pH值下降还不是非常严重,但是如果继续下降的话会对现存的海洋生物造成严重的威胁。
    来自美国罗兰士利弗摩亚国家实验室的肯·卡尔代罗和迈克尔·维克特在《自然》杂志上提出了他们对此事的关注。
    越来越多的石油消耗意味着更多的二氧化碳被排放到空气中,而且大部分最终将被海水吸收。二氧化碳一旦进入水中,就会发生反应形成碳酸。
    科学家们认为海洋的酸性已经比上个世纪稍微大了一点。
    这些研究者们结合所知的海洋历史以及气候变化的电脑模型,试图预测将来的变化。
    “如果我们继续向大气中排放二氧化碳的话,将来的酸性浓度会远远超标。”卡尔代罗博士说。
    “而且我们估计将来酸的总量会比过去几亿年中人类所见到的任何东西都大,更不用说可能发生类似小行星撞击地球等罕见的大灾难之后了。”
    研究者们警告说,如果不减少二氧化碳的排放量,海洋的pH值可能会降低0.77个单位。
    尽管这对海洋生命来说意味着什么还不是很清楚。
    大多数生物生活在海洋表面,而海洋表面正是pH值预期变化最大的地方,但是深海生物可能对pH值的变化更加敏感。
    研究组推测,珊瑚礁和其它骨架或外壳中含有碳酸钙的生物受到的影响可能会格外明显,在pH值较低的水域中它们很难形成这些结构。
    最近的几年中,有人蓄意建议将发电站释放的二氧化碳储藏到深海中,以此来抑制全球变暖。
    但是卡尔代罗博士说现在应该重新考虑这种策略。
    “以前,大多数专家都将海洋吸收二氧化碳看作一件好事——因为将二氧化碳释放到大气中会使大气变暖,然而当二氧化碳被海洋吸收后,温室效应就会降低。”
