Climate change is a global challenge. One way to fight it is by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. New research shows that trees planted in China have helped in this fight.
A recent study in the journal Nature shows that the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed (吸收) by new forests in two parts of China is more than we thought. These areas are in the northeastern Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces and the southwestern Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. They make up about 35 percent of China’s landbased (基于陆地的) carbon sinks (碳汇). A carbon sink is a natural area like a forest or ocean that absorbs morecarbon dioxide than it emits (排放). Carbon sinks help to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
China’s goal is to peak (达到峰值) its CO2 emissions (排放) before 2030 and reach carbon neutrality (中和) by 2060, Xinhua reported. Carbon neutrality refers to removing as much CO2 as one puts into the air.
According to stud y coauthor Yi Liu at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, “the afforestation (植树造林) activities described in our Nature paper will play a role in reaching that goal.”

Did you see snow in your home town last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before? “There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986,” said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the g lobal (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 ºC, the temperature in North China has gone up by 1.4 ºC in only 50 years.
China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放), because it’s the main reason for global warming. We plan to cut energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th FiveYear Plan.
Can you slow global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.
Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother’s, sister’s or dad’s old Tshirts means you save the energy.
Ride on the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.
Open the window. Don’t use the air conditioner (空调), and let some fresh air in. When you have to use it, set the temperature higher in summer and lower in winter to save energy.

Recently, the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been used frequently at some important meetings in many countries. Many countries have put forward the goal of striving (奋斗目标) to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.
Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we’d better do more walking, cycling and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.
Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the pollution of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.
Save water. Lack (缺乏) of water resources will affect the ecological environment (生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.
Sort (分类) the rubbish. Doing garbage classification (垃圾分类) in a right way can turn waste into wealth.
Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint (碳足迹) and spreading of greenhouse gases (气体).
Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.
Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted.
Let’s join our hands and take actions immediately.

Now too much CO2 makes the Earth warmer and warmer, and brings bad effect to people. To save our Earth, a new lifestyle called lowcarbon life bees popular. Low carbon means low energy and no waste. It is necessary for everybody to learn to live a lowcarbon life.
To live a lowcarbon 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 c ooking with electricity.
To live a lowcarbon 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 lowcarbon 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 bee a safer planet for us to live on.
24. Why does lowcarbon life bee 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.
25. How many kinds of way of living a lowcarbon life are talked about in the passage?
A. Three.
B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six.
26. What can we do to make carbon dioxide bee 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.
27. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?
A. The ways to protect trees.
B. The ways to keep animals for food.

D. The ways to live a lowcarbon life.
二、阅读还原（7选5）
In 2019, Europe faced a recordbreaking heat in summer. It was so hot there that you could have even fried an egg on the pavement. Such extreme temperatures are also killing people. ___28___ For example, the melting glaciers(冰川融化). As a result of it, coastal cities from America to Asia are drowning. You may also know another result of global warming: the thawing permafrost(冻土融化). Permafrost usually exists in polar regions. It’s underground so il that’s always frozen. The thawing permafrost further warms up the earth.
___29___ Scientists believe that greenhouse gas emission(温室气体排放) is an important cause leading to the sudden increase in temperatures globally. The greenhouse gases are known for keeping heat. And these gas emissions mostly e from plants, automobiles and factories that use fossil fuels like coal and petrol etc. ___30___ ___31___ There are a lot of ways. For example, using public transport, planting trees and recycling your waste like plastics, are all useful ways to reduce your carbon footprint. Turning off electronic equipments when you are not using them can also be amazingly good for this.
___32___ Turning it down 2 degrees in winter and up 2 degrees in summer could save nearly a kilogram of carbon dioxide every year.
Everyone should play their part in to slow down global warming because we are not saving the Earth, we are saving ourselves.
