专题 01 碳中和/碳达峰与环境保护

（2022·内蒙古包头·中考真题）More than 1,000 schools across the UK have signed up （报名）to a

project with the aim of helping schools become carbon neutral （碳平衡的） by 2030. Carbon neutral means

cutting down carbon emissions （碳排放）to zero or balancing them out in other ways. Carbon emissions are

gases such as carbon dioxide（CO2）that come out into the atmosphere, where they make climate change worse.

This has also caused the temperature rise.

Emissions are caused by all sorts of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels （coal, oil and gas ）to

make energy, cutting down forests and some types of farming. Becoming carbon neutral includes cutting the

amount of carbon emissions a school produces and balancing those that are left by taking some carbon out of the

atmosphere.

The project also shows how small changes can make a big difference. These might include thinking carefully

about energy use, cutting waste, growing food closer to where it's eaten and walking or cycling to school if it is

possible. Ways of balancing out the carbon emissions that a school still makes include planting trees and plants

that take in CO2 as they grow.

Ysgol Bro Dinefwr Secondary School in Wales has promised to run entirely on renewable （可再生

的） energy （such as wind and solar power ）within the next three years. At Down High School in Northern

Ireland, the students are looking after their own bees. So when flowers and crops produce food, that helps. Other

schools have projects to cut food waste by weighing it after each meal to know how much is not being eaten.

Some put the waste into a system that can turn this waste into useful things. They will be put on the garden to help

plants grow.

Climate change is seen as a major global challenge. We can see it all around us. So join together, find out

ways your school can put efforts to, and talk to a teacher about signing up.

1．Which statement would the author most probably agree with?

A．Human activities influence the environment.

B．The fight against climate change will not succeed.

C．More UK schools should be introduced to the world.

D．We could deal with the climate change without changing our behavior.

2．How could the schools reduce carbon emissions?

A．By moving to the countryside. B．By cutting waste and planting trees.

C．By providing more spaces for students. D．By burning coal instead of gas to make energy.

3．Why does the author give examples of the schools in paragraph 4?

A．To praise these schools. B．To show the difficulties in the project.

C．To call for more schools to take action. D．To explain the efforts made by the government.

4．What is the best title for the text?

A．How to Help Plants Grow B．Schools Sign Up to Help the Planet

C．Carbon Emissions in the UK Schools D．Our Planet, a Wonderful Living Place

（2022· 重庆 ·中考真题）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 CO₂

direct cooling technology.

A net of tubes runs under the ice. High-pressure liquid( 液态 ) CO₂ goes through them to create heat( 热)

exchange. The CO₂ evaporates(蒸发) under the ice surface. The evaporation takes in heat and turns water on the

surface into ice. And the CO₂ 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 CO₂ produced. Among all the 15 ice sporting places in the

Winter Olympics, 7 used the CO₂ 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.

5．How long did it take China to develop the CO₂ direct cooling technology?

A．18 months. B．100 weeks. C．15 days. D．7 years.

6．The writer writes Para. 3 to show ________.

A．why the CO₂ goes into another circle

B．how the new ice-making technology helped

C．how sporting places used the new technology

D．why the liquid CO₂ runs through the net of tubes

7．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 CO₂ direct cooling technology may be widely used in the world

C．the high-pressure liquid CO₂ will totally take the place of R507 soon

D．no new standards in green technologies may be set after the Olympics

8．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

（2022·山东·临沂市河东区教育科学研究与发展中心一模）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 said. 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 put into the air,” said Stafford Sheehan from Air Company,

a US company that focuses on CO2 collecting technologies.

根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

9．What is SpaceX working on?

A．Reducing CO2 emissions. B．Building a new rocket. C．Turning CO2 into fuel.

10．What advantage will the program bring if it succeeds?

A．It will take energy from the sun.

B．It will make it easier to travel from Mars to Earth.

C．It will take 95 percent of CO2 out of the air.
