States would respond to the forums proposal to plant one trillion(万亿)trees to fight climate change.The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded thatplanting so many trees was“the most effective climate change solution to date”.If only it were true.But it isnt.Planting trees would slow down the planets warming,but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars,lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels,to net zero by 2050.Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离).Worse still,it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster.For example,in the Netherlands,you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank,to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving.Thats clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed.The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political,economic,technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.There is no way that planting trees,even across a global area the size of theUnited States,can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies.Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow.But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place,usually long ago.Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past,but even a trillion trees cant store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.In a sharp counter argument to last summers Paper in Science,Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the studys findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle.He warned that“the claimthat global tree restoration(复原)is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.4.What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A.It was published in a journal.B.It was proposed last summer.C.It was put forward by Trump.D.It drew lots of public attention.5.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.A drawback of the tree planting strategy.B.An example of balancing carbon release.C.An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.D.A responsibility for politicians and economists.6.What was Justin Gilliss attitude towards global tree restoration?A.Indifferent.B.Opposed.C.Hesitant.D.Supportive.7.What is the best title for the text?A.Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.B.A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.C.Planting Trees Wont Save the World.D.The Best Solution to Climate Change.C Globally,people use roofs to dry out food,do their laundry and sleep.In Belfast,where were based,theres a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high,because its in a valley.But because we were a conflict area for a long time,many people didnt want to live,work or hang out in the city,and our roofs cape has been neglected.Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want.They can be used as social or cultural spaces,for green or blue public facilities.But its not just about commercial opportunities;it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch.Its not just about doing it on a rooftop because its“cool”.Its about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities.That can make a huge difference.For instance,were helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees,due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today-be those environmental,social,technological,or cultural.At the moment,were being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19.With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas,we should be acknowledging rooftops alternatives.For example,Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops.Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama,while residents sat and watched,listening to the action through headphones.Are there any challenges?Rain is one.Also is health and safety.But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face.In fact,the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting-because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems.It is always a matter of trial and error.8.What can we learn about rooftops in the first two paragraphs?A.People enjoy getting together on rooftops.B.People can use rooftops to their own advantage.C.Rooftops are made good use of by locals in Belfast.D.Rooftops projects were launched for commercial reasons.9.How can rooftops benefit people in their life?A.Rooftops can be adapted to car parks.B.Rooftops help solve environmental problems.C.Rooftops can provide space for work and play.D.People can exchange their thoughts on rooftops.10.What will be possibly mentioned after the last paragraph?A.The new challenges of the future.B.Reasons for building rooftop projects.C.Exciting development of rooftop projects.D.Solutions to the challenges we are facing now.11.What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To introduce rooftop projects in Belfast.B.To encourage people to start rooftop projects.C.To analyze the current situation of rooftop projects.D.To offer suggestions on long-term city development.D A man in Indonesia is walking backwards for 435 miles.Hes making the trip to encourage the government and others to value and protect Indonesias rainforests.Medi Bastoni is 43 years old.He is an Indonesian.Indonesia is a large country in the world formed by a group of islands.There are over 16,000 islands there，and most of them are covered with rainforests.But on Java,where Mr.Bastoni lives,far more forests have been cleared.Mr.Bastoni believes its important to protect forests from being cut down,and to restore(恢复)them when they
