We all know that cars and factories produce a lot of greenhouse gases. Not many of us know that the animals on the farm such as cows and goats also create emission(排放). These farm animals make lots of methane(甲烷) in the world every day. This is the most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide.
Bill Gates decided to do something about the methane these animals create. He invested(投资) in a technology company that aims to reduce the amount of methane coming from farm animals. The company is called Rumin8.It is located in Australia. It has now created a seaweed-based product for animals. The company says its product stops the creation of methane in animals’ stomachs.
Bill Gates is the co-founder of Microsoft. He spent a lot of his money on projects that help the environment. He believes the animal farmed for meat should be reduced because of the impact it has on climate change. He said one third of all greenhouse gas emission may come from farms. A spokesperson for Mr Gates’s energy investment company spoke about the benefits of the new product. He said, “Rumin8 offers a low-cost tool that has already proven to be effective.” He added, “Our team will support Rumin8 in working closely with farmers to spread this solution globally.”

答案全解全析
Ⅰ. A
[语篇解读]　我们很多人都不知道,农场里的动物,比如牛和山羊,也会排放废气,这些农场动物每天都在制造大量的甲烷,这是继二氧化碳之后最常见的温室气体。
1.B　推理判断题。本段第一句为铺垫,后几句讲的都是农场动物排放废气这件事。故本段主要告诉我们的是农场里的动物可以产生大量的甲烷。
2.D　细节理解题。由第二段的第二句可知,比尔·盖茨投资该科技公司的目的是减少农场动物产生的甲烷。故选D。
3.A　词义猜测题。由上文可知,肉用动物养殖对环境产生了破坏,由此推出,比尔·盖茨认为,应该减少肉用动物养殖,因为它对气候变化有影响。influence意为“影响”,由此推出impact与influence意思相近。
4.C　推理判断题。由第三段的最后几句可知,比尔·盖茨投资的公司的新型产品能够有效减少农场动物的甲烷排放,并且这一解决方案将普及到全球。由此推出,比尔·盖茨致力于减少农场动物的甲烷排放。
5.B　主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是比尔·盖茨希望减少农场动物产生的甲烷,并付出了很多,故选B。

20.D　根据“to grow thicker and higher”及常识可知,大树需要水才能长得更高,故选D。

Good morning, everyone!Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious these days. I think each of us should do something to protect the environment. As we all know, the environment is becoming worse and worse. However, every one of us can make a difference by doing something.
For one thing,we can use energy-saving electric lamps instead of the traditional lights. For another, use the public transport or ride your bicycle instead of driving private cars when we travel somewhere. We should also take good care of flowers and trees. In addition, we must do waste sorting.
It is believed that the global climate change is due to the human activities. Only if we know what we should do in our daily life and live a green life, can we make a difference.
