    Now too much CO2 makes the Earth warmer and warmer, and brings bad effect to people. To save our Earth, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.

    To live a low-carbon life, we'd better save as much energy as we can. For example, turn off the lights and TV when you don't use them, use cold water to wash clothes or dishes; take a short shower and try to take a cold one when the weather gets warm; don't do the cooking with electricity.

    To live a low-carbon life, we should eat less meat. Being a vegetarian can help reduce(减少) one and a half ton of carbon dioxide a year, but keeping animals for food produces even more carbon dioxide than all the cars do in the world.

    To live a low-carbon life, we should plant more trees. Trees are very important for us. They can not only produce oxygen for us to breathe and keep the air clean, but also take in the harmful gases from the air. To protect trees we should stop people from cuting down trees and plant as many trees as we can.

    If we can keep them a habit in our daily life, the earth will become a safer planet for us to live on.

    1. (1) Why does low-carbon life become popular?
      A . Because it can protect animals. B . Because it can save the earth. C . Because it can protect trees. D . Because it can clean water.
    2. (2) How many kinds of way of living a low-carbon life are talked about in the passage?
      A . Three. B . Four. C . Five. D . Six.
    3. (3) What can we do to make carbon dioxide become less?
      A . We can use cold water in our life. B . We can try to use less water. C . We can eat too much meat. D . We can take a bath.
    4. (4) What does the underlined word "them" refer to?
      A . The ways to protect trees. B . The ways to keep animals for food. C . The ways to live a comfortable life. D . The ways to live a low-carbon life.

    At present, too much carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) makes the earth warmer and warmer and causes terrible effect to human beings. To save our planet, to save ourselves, a new lifestyle called low-carbon life(低碳生活) becomes popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a low-carbon life.

Maybe it is a little difficult, but it's really necessary.

    To live a low-carbon life, we are supposed to do less shopping. When we go shopping, we may drive a car or take other transportation. On the one hand, these machines pollute the air and waste energy. On the other hand, most of us always buy some useless things because of some advertisements. It is not only a waste of money but also causes trouble to the earth, because as you know, making everything will produce carbon dioxide more or less.

    ①Walk or drive to work? Which way is lower in carbon(碳)? To be friendly to the environment, you may choose to walk. Have you ever tried to live a low-carbon life through your diet(日常饮食)?

    ②A new study from the University of Oxford has looked into the health and environmental influences of 15 foods common in western diets. Among these, plant-based(基于植物的) foods included fruits, vegetables, nuts and potatoes. It also studied animal-based foods, including red meat, chicken, milk products, eggs and fish.

    ③According to the study's lead researcher, Michael Clark, "Choosing better and greener diets is one of the main ways people can improve their health and protect the environment. "That is to say, plant-based diets are much healthier for us and kinder to the environment.

    ④To get this result, researchers compared the influence of eating another portion(一份)of each food with the increased risk of a few illnesses. They also find out the environmental harm for each animal-based food and each plant-based food.

    ⑤By using this method, the study found that red meats were the most unfriendly foods to the environment. Keeping farm animals produces a large number of methane(甲烷) that keeps 30 times more heat than CO2. As well as making the earth warmer, eating too much red meat is known to increase the risk of a few illnesses, such as heart trouble.

    ⑥Plant-based diets can give us the same health benefits in a much greener way. According to the study, without eating or using meat and milk products, global farmland use could be cut down by more than 75% and still feed the world.

    ⑦Speaking to the Guardian, Tim Benton of Chatham House said, " If we can give people reasonable official advice of what a healthy and green diet is, the world and its people would be in a much better place. "

    1. (1) Which one is animal-based food?
      A . Milk products. B . Fruits. C . Vegetables.
    2. (2) What's the result of this study?
      A . Many people choose to walk to work. B . The more we eat, the better the environment is. C . Plant-based diets are healthier and greener.
    3. (3) What is the main idea of paragraph⑤?
      A . The harm of CO2. B . The risk of heart trouble. C . Two disadvantages of red meats.
    4. (4) What does "benefits" in paragraph⑥ mean in Chinese?
      A . 问题 B . 方式 C . 益处
    5. (5) What will this study probably be used for?
      A . Giving official advice on health and environment. B . Teaching farmers to plant vegetables correctly. C . Guiding people to lose weight by doing exercise.
  • 5. (2022·衢江模拟) 阅读理解

    It's commonly known that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) causes global warming. The whole world has made great efforts to improve the situation. Especially, the trees planted in China are playing an important role.

    A report published in Nature shows that CO2 absorption (吸收) in two new forest areas in China is more than we thought. The two areas are located in China's southwestern and northeastern provinces. They make up over 35 percent of China's carbon sinks. Carbon sinks are natural systems that absorb and store CO2 from the air. The main natural carbon sinks are trees and other plants.

    According to Paul Palmer, these provinces have been working on rapid forestation (造林) in large areas. Over the past 10 to 15 years, the forest areas have kept increasing by 400-4,400 square kilometers per year.

    China is one of the world's biggest countries of human-produced CO2  ▲   . In 1978,

    China began a national-level forestation project. Many trees have planted in the areas of northern China to act as windbreaks. For example, about one third of the Kubuqi Desert in Inner Mongolia is now covered with trees. In 2019, Alipay's Ant Forest program planted 122 million trees and won the UN Champions of the Earth award for helping 500 million people live low-carbon lives.

    China's goal is to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. Carbon neutrality refers to removing as much CO2 as one puts into the air. If China's goal is achieved, it will lower global warming by around 0.2 to 0.3 C alone, according to Climate Action Tracker (CAT).

    1. (1) China's two new forest areas         .
      A . play an important role in tree-planting B . are in the southwest and northeast of China C . cover more than half of China's carbon sinks D . mainly absorb and store trees and other plants
    2. (2) In Paragraph 3, Paul Palmer shows China's achievement in forestation by         .
      A . using numbers B . asking questions C . giving examples D . comparing facts
    3. (3) Which of the following can be put in the          in Paragraph 4?
      A . and it has caused serious environmental problems B . so the government will take steps to stop air pollution C . though most of Chinese people are living low-carbon lives D . but our country has been working on reducing its climate influence
    4. (4) The passage mainly talks about         .
      A . what causes global warming B . what China does to lower global warming C . how China produces so much CO2 D . how trees absorb and store CO2 from the air
