二、阅读理解
A
Climate change is a big problem humans are facing. How can we deal with it Reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) is important. But what if we could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and use it to do other things
Recently, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that his company is working on a new program. It’s going to take CO2 out of the air and turn it into rocket fuel.
“It will not only be good for Earth, but will also be important for Mars,” Musk tweeted. The air on Mars is made up of 95 percent CO2. If we could turn CO2 into fuel, we could travel the long journey from Mars back to Earth in the future.
The idea may sound strange but it’s not totally crazy. There are already some technologies that might help with this. According to Di-Jia Liu, a chemist at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US, the carbon atoms (原子) in CO2 and the hydrogen (氢) atoms in water can be combined to make methane (甲烷) or ethanol (乙醇). They could be used as fuel. If we do this on Mars, energy from the sun might be used as a catalyst (催化剂).
The idea will also make space travel more eco-friendly. “If the CO2-based fuel could be used in a rocket launch, we could prevent 715 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the air,” said Stafford Sheehan from Air Company, a US company that focuses on CO2 capture technologies.
11．SpaceX is working on ______.
A．Reducing CO2 emissions B．Building a new rocket
C．Turning CO2 into fuel D．Traveling long distances on Mars
12．What advantage will the program bring if it succeeds
A．It will take energy from the sun.
B．It will take 95 percent of CO2 out of the air.
C．It will make it easier to travel from Mars to Earth.
D．It will create free catalysts for chemical experiments.
13．The underlined word “combined” in the passage means ______ in English.
A．turn into B．join together C．divide into D．separate from
14．From what Stafford Sheehan said, we can learn that ______.
A．scientists use 715 tons of CO2 to launch a rocket
B．rocket launching is an environmentally-friendly activity
C．there will be no CO2 emissions anymore
D．SpaceX’s idea would be good for the environment
15．What can be the best title of the passage
A．Visit Space with CO2 B．Climate change we face
C．Space travel in the future D．A new program on Mars
【答案】11．C 12．C 13．B 14．D 15．A
【导语】本文主要介绍了SpaceX公司的新项目，将会把二氧化碳转化成燃料，这将使从火星到地球的旅行更容易，也有利于环保。
11．细节理解题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是第二句“It’s going to take CO2 out of the air and turn it into rocket fuel.”可知SpaceX的新项目是把空气中的二氧化碳转化为火箭燃料。故选C。
12．推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“If we could turn CO2 into fuel, we could travel the long journey from Mars back to Earth in the future.”可知若能将二氧化碳转化为燃料，我们未来就可以从火星回到地球，可推断出如果这个项目能成功的话，它将使从火星到地球的旅行变得更容易。故选C。
13．词义猜测题。根据第四段中“According to Di-Jia Liu, a chemist at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US, the carbon atoms (原子) in CO2 and the hydrogen (氢) atoms in water can be combined to make methane (甲烷) or ethanol (乙醇).”和常识可知二氧化碳中的碳原子和水中的氢原子可以合成甲烷或乙醇，因此这里“combined”可以理解为“结合”。故选B。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Stafford Sheehan的话“If the CO2-based fuel could be used in a rocket launch, we could prevent 715 tons of CO2 from being emitted into the air”可知如果以二氧化碳为基础的燃料可以用于火箭发射，我们可以防止715吨二氧化碳排放到空气中，可推断出Stafford Sheehan认为SpaceX的想法将对环境有益。故选D。
15．最佳标题题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了SpaceX公司的新项目，将会把二氧化碳转化成燃料，这将使从火星到地球的旅行既更容易又环保，根据选项可知“带着二氧化碳遨游太空”可以作为本文标题。故选A。

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy(能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.
Take making ice as an example. China didn’t use R507, a common material to make ice, because it isn’t friendly enough to the environment. Through 18 months’ hard work, China independently developed the CO direct cooling technology.
A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid(液态) CO goes through them to create heat(热) exchange. The CO evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the surface into ice. And the CO goes into another circle. This technology helps to make ice better and faster. And above all, it is much greener because there’s no new CO produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, much less pollution was caused.
Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. 70% of the waste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry. And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first to truly achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和), and it has set new standards in green technologies. Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.
16．How long did it take China to develop the CO direct cooling technology
A．18 months. B．100 weeks. C．15 days. D．7 years.
17．The writer writes Para. 3 to show ________.
A．why the CO goes into another circle
B．how the new ice-making technology helped
C．how sporting places used the new technology
D．why the liquid CO runs through the net of tubes
18．According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.
A．all the buildings will be built with glass walls in the near future
B．the CO direct cooling technology may be widely used in the world
C．the high-pressure liquid CO will totally take the place of R507 soon
D．no new standards in green technologies may be set after the Olympics
19．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A New Green Ice-making Technology
B．Green Technologies Used in Sports
C．A Shared Future of Green Development
D．The Green Beijing Winter Olympics
【答案】16．A 17．B 18．B 19．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍北京2022年冬奥会实现了绿色奥运的承诺，以及中国自主研发出了二氧化碳直接冷却技术。
16．细节理解题。根据“Through 18 months’ hard work, China independently developed the CO direct cooling technology.”可知，历史18个月，中国自主研发出了二氧化碳直接冷却技术。故选A。
17．段落大意题。分析第三段内容可知，本段主要是介绍二氧化碳直接冷却技术是如何运作来制冰的，故选B。
18．推理判断题。根据“As a result, much less pollution was caused.”和“Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.”可知，造成的污染减少了，且一些报纸称，中国在环境保护和绿色发展方面为世界树立了榜样。由此推知， 二氧化碳直接冷却技术在世界范围内具有广泛的应用前景，故选B。
19．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍北京2022年冬奥会实现了绿色奥运的承诺，以及中国自主研发出了二氧化碳直接冷却技术。选项D“绿色北京冬奥会”符合主题，故选D。

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was a great success. China has kept the promise to hold a green Olympics. Many green actions made it possible, like providing environmentally friendly smart beds, using new energy(能源) cars, supporting sporting places with 100% clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.
Take making ice as an example. China didn’t use R507, a common material to make ice, because it isn’t friendly enough to the environment. Through 18 months’ hard work, China independently developed the CO direct cooling technology.
A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid(液态) CO goes through them to create heat(热) exchange. The CO evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the surface into ice. And the CO goes into another circle. This technology helps to make ice better and faster. And above all, it is much greener because there’s no new CO produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO direct cooling technology to make ice. As a result, much less pollution was caused.
Beijing did so much more to save energy. Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials. As for the old ones, Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in. 70% of the waste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry. And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first to truly achieve carbon neutrality(碳中和), and it has set new standards in green technologies. Some newspapers say China has set an example for the world in environmental protection and green development.
16．How long did it take China to develop the CO direct cooling technology
A．18 months. B．100 weeks. C．15 days. D．7 years.
17．The writer writes Para. 3 to show ________.
A．why the CO goes into another circle
B．how the new ice-making technology helped
C．how sporting places used the new technology
D．why the liquid CO runs through the net of tubes
18．According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that ________.
A．all the buildings will be built with glass walls in the near future
B．the CO direct cooling technology may be widely used in the world
C．the high-pressure liquid CO will totally take the place of R507 soon
D．no new standards in green technologies may be set after the Olympics
19．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A New Green Ice-making Technology
B．Green Technologies Used in Sports
C．A Shared Future of Green Development
D．The Green Beijing Winter Olympics

Chart Ⅰ
China’s forest coverage（覆盖率）
Chart Ⅱ
China planted 3.6 million hectares of forest in 2021, according to the National Afforestation Committee（国际造林委员会）. That’s more than double the area of Beijing. The committee called on all adults to plant three to five trees a year. During the past 40 years, volunteers planted nearly 79 billion trees across China. China has become the country with the largest increase in forest resources（资源）and the largest area of planted forests.
People are also encouraged to take part in greening projects. Alipay’s Ant Forest is one way to help. Users get “green energy” points through daily actions, and the project will plant real trees for them. More than 600 million Chinese have used this app to live greener lifestyles and help protect the environment. Ant Forest has planted more than 360 million trees in China since 2016.
Besides big projects, China also focuses on（专注于）small actions in cities. The committee said China now has more than 20,000 “pocket parks”—mini parks in cities. It has also built more than 80,000 kilometers of green pathways（道路）across the country.
Chart Ⅲ
In the future, China will take more actions to help our environment so that we can reach the goal of achieving carbon neutrality（碳中和）before 2060 successfully.
