36、56-58 小题大案涂在答题纸上，59-75 小题答案写在答题纸上) A Global warming is no longer just a threat-it is a reality. Most global warming has been caused by the production of greenhouse gases, in particular, carbon dioxide (CO2). Whenever we turn on the TV, drive a ear or take a flight, we add more CO2 to the atmosphere.

37、 Today we talk to environmental campaigner Gina Freeman about carbon emissions(排放物) Reporter: Is it too late to do something about carbon emissions ？Gina: No, it isnt. And as soon as carbon emissions decrease, air pollution will decrease.But unless we take action now, we wont reduce the effect of gl

38、obal warming.Reporter: Youre particularly concerned about the increase in air travel. Why?Gina: Air travel is a major source of carbon emissions. Its estimated that by 2020 it will be the single biggest cause of global warming. I believe that we wont prevent global warming until we stop flying.Repor

39、ter: So what can we do?Gina: Take holidays closer to home. If we dont travel so far, well reduce carbon emissions.

41、nd carbon offset projects.Reporter: What kind of projects?Gina: For example, planting trees, which absorb CO from the atmosphere.Reporter: So it will be OK for me to fly if I plant enough trees.Gina: Its better not to fly at all. But if you cant avoid producing carbon, the next best thing is to offs

42、et it.Reporter: Will carbon offset projects solve the problem of global warming?Gina: No, they wont. But the situation wont improve unless we all work together. And the future will look brighter when all governments agree to reduce carbon emissions. Questions 56-58: Choose the best answer from A, B,
