Topic Eleven The World and The Environment 世界与环境 话说中考 本话题是谈论世界与环境问题。世界与环境相互依存，但是近年来人们为了自身的发展，破坏了环境，环境问题日益突出。中考阅读理解对本话题考查是通过阅读小短文理解大意，从短文中归纳、分析出环境与世界的关系，以及了解环境对世界的重要性和作用。目的是培养学生的环境意识，提高学生对环境问题的认识。这就要求学生在日常生活中重视环境问题，养成热爱环境、保护环境的好习惯。 走进中考(福州·2010) Cut the Carbon Footprint Everything you do leaves a carbon footprint(碳足迹)．For example，when you travel in a taxi，the car gives off(排放) CO2 into the air．CO2 is a greenhouse gas．Greenhouse gases make the earth become warm．To protect our environment，we need to leave less of a carbon footprint．How big is your carbon footprint? To get an idea，take a look at the following numbers． Living areas ★ TV sets and DVD players produce 723kg of CO2 a year． ★ If you turn them off when youre not using them，you can cut that number by 108kg． Laundry room(洗衣房) Drying clothes in a dryer produces a lot of CO2． ★ If you use your dryer five times per week，you produce 185kg of CO2 per year． ★ Dry your clothes in the sun instead． Bathroom ★ If you take an eight-minute shower every day，you produce 616kg of CO2 a year． ★ If you only use six minutes to take a shower，you can cut that number by 154kg a year． 根据短文内容，判断正误。正确用“T”表示，错误用“F”表示。 ( ) 1．CO2 is a greenhouse gas that can make the earth warm． ( ) 2．Watching TV and traveling in a taxi can produce little CO2． ( ) 3．If we use a dryer five times per week，we produce 154kg of CO2 per year． ( ) 4．If we spend less time taking a shower，we can cut the number of CO2． ( ) 5．The less of a carbon footprint we leave，the better our environment will become． 解析 1．T 根据第一段第三句和第四句话可知 CO2 是一种能使地球变暖的温室气体。 2．F 根据“TV sets and DVD players produce 723kg of CO2 a year．”和文章标题，可知看电视和开车能产生很多 CO2，不是几乎不产生。所以此句的表述是错误的。 3．F 根据“If you use your dryer five times per week，you produce 185kg of CO2 per year．”可以判断此句是错误的。 4．T 根据每天洗澡 8 分钟和每天洗澡 6 分钟产生的二氧化氮的对比说明，时间越短，产生的二氧化碳就相对越少，所以此句的表述是正确的。 5．T 根据“To protect our environment，we
