第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.
“We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize longterm change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
“As carbon dioxide dissolves(溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid，”Dore explains. “And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the PH down, and makes it more acidic.”
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
The effect was particularly striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.
“It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic.”
【语篇解读】 研究表明，空气中的二氧化碳也会影响海洋生命。

More than 134 countries across the world, including the UK, switched off their lights for an hour on Sunday to support action to create a sustainable(可持续的) future for the planet.
Environmental charity World Wildlife Fund has organised the Earth Hour event which saw iconic buildings such as Big Ben, the BT Tower, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Edinburgh Castle, Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, Stormont in Northern Ireland and Cardiff's Millennium Centre blacking_out for an hour.
The event, which took place at 8：30pm Sunday around the world, started in Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. The aim is to highlight(突出) the charity's call on governments, organisations and individuals to pledge(保证) their commitment to tackling climate change.
At the Royal Albert Hall in London, television presenter Kirsty Gallacher led a team of 60 cyclists from the UKWorld Wildlife Fund to create a huge humanpowered projection(投影) with images of endangered species including dolphins and tigers being shone on to the building.Colin Butfield, head of campaigns, WWFUK, said: “Our event at the Royal Albert Hall, alongside the hundreds of thousands of events across the world, shows global support for the need to tackle climate change
- 15 -
and protect the natural world. ”
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change.The following year, Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.
Four of the world's five tallest buildings turned off their lights with the tallest, the 828metre Burg Khalifa in Dubai, switching off about half a million lights.Also darkening for the occasion were floodlights(泛光灯) at natural wonders such as Niagara and Victoria Falls and Table Mountain in South Africa.

The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions(排放)．
The Morning Challenge campaign, unveiled by the Environment Ministry, is based on the premise that swapping late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation's carbon_footprint.
- 15 -
A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier, according to the campaign.
The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early was the equivalent of 20% of annual emissions from household lights，“Many Japanese people waste electric power at night time, for example by watching TV until very late，”a ministry spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.
“But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions. If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emissions.”The campaign also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sunlight by improving their lifestyles in general by running, doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.
It is the latest initiative(倡议) fighting climate change by the Japanese environment ministry, which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25% from 1990 levels within the next decade.
It was the same government department that launched the high profile Cool Biz campaign five years ago, which encourages workers to wear shortsleeved shirts and offices not to turn air conditioners lower than 28 degrees during the summer.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。 日本环境部最近发起一项运动，鼓励人们早睡早起，以减少家庭的二氧化碳排放量。该运动称，如果每人每天早睡早起一个小时，那么一个家庭一年可减少二氧化碳排放量85千克，这相当于一个家庭一年用电所产生的碳排放量的20%。
64．The Morning Challenge campaign is aimed at________.
A．saving electricity and cost in Japan
B．making full use of morning sunlight

jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.
The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental pact of their activities.He said，“Few accountants and business decisionmakers ask，”How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded, how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities? “These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked.”
He added，“At the moment these costs do not appear in anyone's books...Yet they are real, they are incurred now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy.”He said the world was“running up the_biggest_global_credit_card_debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid”．
Flanked by the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James' Palace, the prince said his new“accounting for sustainability” project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet.
Duchy Originals, the prince's food company, is taking steps to work out how much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas are emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products. The changes to the prince's travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences. Clarence House in London, Highgrove and Birkhall on the Balmorals estate, as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 105 fulltime staff. Measures include a review of electricity use, commuter and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. The review will report in June , when Clarence House will announce annual targets to reduce carbon emission.

Earth Hour
Earth Hour started in Australia with millions of homes and businesses turning their lights off for one hour.People are all joining together in a global effort to show that it's possible to take action on global warming.
Beijing took part in Earth Hour this year.The Great Wall at Badaling，Grand National Theatre usually illuminated by floodlights，went dark at 8：30 p．m.，while dozens of hotel office buildings，shopping malls and restaurants also switched their lights off.People joined in activities such as candlelit dinners and stargazing parties as a response to the call for“going dark”．
I support the action.In my opinion, Earth Hour is a message of hope and a message of action It will have a great influence on people's attitude towards global warming.We should take responsibility and get involved in working towards a bright future.Everyone can make a difference.
