The conclusion of the Paris Agreement in 2015，in which almost every nation committed to reduce their carbon emissions(排放)，was supposed to be a turning point in the fight against climate change.But many countries have already fallen behind their goals.Meanwhile emissions worldwide continue to rise.

The only way to catch up is to aggressively pursue an approach that takes advantage of every possible strategy to reduce emissions.Wind and solar energy are usually part of this effort，but it must also include investing heavily in carbon capture(碳捕捉)，utilization(应用)and storage(CCUS)—a range of technologies that pull carbon dioxide from the air，and transform it into useful materials or store it underground.Although CCUS has been opposed as too expensive and unproved，recent gains have made it far more effective.Improvements such as chemical compounds could drive the cost down from $1 00 per ton of captured carbon in 20 16 to $ 20 per ton by 2025，according to a 2016 article in Science.

Three primary CCUS paths lead to the reduction of carbon emissions:retrofitting(改装)existing power plants；reducing emissions in industries that cannot run on renewable energy；and directly removing carbon from the air.Cutting emissions from existing electric power stations with CCUS could be made more appealing in a future with a circular carbon economy，in which captured carbon could be resold and recycled for other uses——for instance，serving as a raw material for making concrete or plastics.

The basic idea of carbon capture has faced a lot of opposition.Skepticism has come from climate change deniers，who see it as a waste of money，and from passionate supporters of climate action, who fear that it would be used to justify continued reliance on fossil fuels.Both groups are ignoring the recent advances and the opportunity they present.By limiting investment in decarbonization，the world will miss a major avenue for reducing emissions in a variety of industries.CCUS can also create jobs and profits from what was previously only a waste material by creating a larger economy around carbon.

The transition to clean energy has become necessary.But that transition’s ability to achieve deep decarbonization will become less effective without this wide range of solutions，which must include CCUS.

1.What can CCUS technologies do in reducing emissions?

A.Closing down existing power plants.

B.Limiting investment in heavy industry.

C.Processing raw materials underground.

D.Turning carbon dioxide into useful materials.

2.Why is it attractive to retrofit existing power plants with CCUS?

A.It can remove carbon directly from the air.

B.It can benefit the industry economically.

C.It is the most affordable way to capture carbon.

D.It helps power plants produce concrete or plastics.

3.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?

A.Fossil fuels will be no longer used in future.

B.Investing in decarbonization is a worthwhile project.

C.Climate change deniers believe in the necessity of decarbonization.

D.Little progress has been made in the fight against carbon emissions.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Capture That Carbon B.Let Carbon Go

C.Stand Firm with Energy Protection D.Say Goodbye to Energy Crisis

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Your chair is your enemy. That is the conclusion of several recent studies. Among people who sit in front of the television for more than three hours each day, those who exercise are as fat as those who don’t.

So what’s wrong with sitting? The answer seems to have two parts. The first is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do. Compared to sitting, standing in one place is hard work. To stand, you have to tense your leg muscles, and engage the muscles of your back and shoulders; while standing, you often shift from leg to leg. All of this burns energy.

You may think you have no choice about how much you sit. But this isn’t true. Suppose you sleep for eight hours each day, and exercise for one. That still leaves 15 hours of activities. Even if you exercise, most of the energy you burn will be burnt during these 15 hours, so weight gain is often the cumulative(累积的) effect of a series of small decisions: Do you take the stairs or the elevator? Do you walk to the corner store, or drive?

But it looks as though there’s a more sinister aspect to sitting. Some evidence suggests that when you spend long periods sitting, your body actually does things that are bad for you.

Lipoprotein lipase(蛋白脂酶) is a molecule that plays a central role in how the body processes fats. Low levels of lipoprotein lipase are associated with a variety of health problems. Studies in rats show that leg muscles only produce this molecule when they are actively being moved. The result is that when you sit, an important part of your metabolism(新陈代谢) slows down. You may also have a higher risk of suffering from diabetes(糖尿病).

Some people have advanced radical solutions to the sitting syndrome(综合症): replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk, or watch television in a rocking chair. But whatever you choose, know this. The data is clear; look out for your chair.

1.What would be the best title of this passage?

A．Become an Athlete to Be Healthy.

B．Choose a Better Chair for You.

C．How to Speed Up Your Metabolism.

D．Stand Up While You Read This.

2.Paragraphs 2 and 3 tell us that.

A．taking too much exercise harms people’s health

B．sitting a lot reduces the benefits of taking exercise

C．people needn’t depend on exercise to keep healthy

D．healthy people are those who sit less and stand more

3.Which of the following is the best advice on how to control our weight?

A．Exercising at least an hour a day.

B．Standing as long as possible.

C．Using our energy actively in daily life.

D．watching TV in a rocking chair.

4.The author mentions lipoprotein lipase mainly to.

A．show that it plays a big part in keeping us healthy

B．tell us that it isn’t produced while we are sitting

C．suggest that we should take less exercise to be healthy

D．prove sitting for long is bad for our body
