24、Planting trees can cut down CO2 in the air, but just doing this isn’t enough to deal with climate change. Now one way discussed widely is carbon capture (碳捕获). It refers to the technology that can protect the earth against climate change by cutting down CO2 in the air.

Carbon capture technology is used to collect CO2 that is given off by factories. For example, it can be fitted to coal-burning power stations and factories to capture the CO2 before it is given off by factories. The captured CO2 can then be liquefied (液化) and stored underground. Besides, the technology can also be used to collect the CO2 that has already gone into the air.

Then how can we deal with the CO2 we capture? Proper utilization is truly important. It can not only help create markets for this new technology, but also make it cheaper for companies to use. Nowadays, CO2 is used in greenhouses to grow vegetables. CO2 can even be used to make useful products, such as plastics, building materials, and paints.

Carbon capture is considered to be quite helpful. However, there are many problems on the way. There’s 50 billion tons of carbon going out to the air from cars and factories every year. But even a great number of carbon capture machines now can capture only a few dozens of tons of it. The thickness of CO2, in the open air is about 300 times less than that in the power stations or factories, making it much less efficient to capture CO2. Because of this, carbon capture machines are very expensive today. So, it’s hard to make a real difference in fighting climate change now. But it will be improved quickly and will become cheaper and more efficient. It is like the mobile phones which were expensive and difficult to use 20 years ago. But now mobile phones have been greatly improved.

【1】What can carbon capture technology be used for?

A．Helping protect trees.

B．Cutting down CO2 in the air.

C．Studying the condition of the air.

D．Checking signs of climate change.

【2】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A．The ways in which the technology works.

B．The advantage of the technology.

C．Tho secrets behind the technology.

D．The development of the technology

【3】What does the underlined word “utilization” refer to?

A．Storing CO2.

B．Collecting CO2.

C．Using CO2.

D．Producing CO2.

【4】What can we know from the passage?

A．The market for CO2 products is growing fast.

B．Carbon capture technology hasn’t been widely used.

C．The cost of fixing the carbon capture machines is high.

D．There is more CO2 in the open air than that in factories.

【5】Why does the writer mention the example of mobile phones?

A．To express the personal interest in mobile phones.

B．To show carbon capture technology will be improved.

C．To raise a new topic of how technology influences our life.

D．To advise readers to take an interest in the development of technology.

25、   There have been many great inventions that changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today—the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things.

Then in the early 1800’s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much anymore. They began to work to make life better.

In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions：the helicopter in1907, movies with sound in 1923. the computer in 1927, and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made.  Nylon（尼龙）came in 1937. It changed the kind of clothes people wear. 

By this time most people had a very good life, and man has a desire to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their steps into space. 

New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.

【1】Before the early 1800’s, people could carry heavy things easier because of the invention of the .

C.America, Russia, Japan and China began to explore the stars before 1969

D.in the early 1800’s people began to explore the unknown land to make life better

【3】Nylon came out nearly at the same time as   .

A.radio B.camera C.jet planes D.movies

【4】The underlined word“desire”means“   ”.

A.good way B.new invention

C.strong wish D.wonderful idea

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Why Cars Were Very Important.

B.When the Light Was Invented.
