1、2023年中考英语阅读理解热点话题练习（中考真题+名校最新模拟真题）专题0 1 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 projectwith the aim of helping schools become carbon neutral（碳平衡的）by 2030.Carbon neutral means cutting downcarbon emissions（碳排放）to zero or balancing them out in other ways.

2、Carbon emissions are gases such as carbondioxide（CO2）that come out into the atmosphere,where they make climate change worse.This has also causedthe temperature rise.Emissions are caused by all sorts of human activities,such as burning fossil fuels（coal,oil and gas）to makeenergy,cutting down forests

3、and some types of farming.Becoming carbon neutral includes cutting the amount ofcarbon 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 carefullyab

4、out energy use,cutting waste,growing food closer to where its eaten and walking or cycling to school if it ispossible.Ways of balancing out the carbon emissions that a school still makes include planting trees and plants thattake in CO2 as they grow.Ysgol Bro Dinefwr Secondary School in Wales has pr

5、omised 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 studentsare looking after their own bees.So when flowers and crops produce food,that helps.Other schools have projectsto cut food waste by weighing it

6、after each meal to know how much is not being eaten.Some put the waste into asystem 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 waysyour school

10、sD.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 promiseto 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 10

11、0%clean energy and reusing rain and snow water.Take making ice as an example.China didnt use R507,a common material to make ice,because it isnt friendlyenough to the environment.Through 18 months hard work,China independently developed the CO2 direct coolingtechnology.A net of tubes runs under the i

12、ce.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 thesurface into ice.And the CO2 goes into another circle.This technology helps to make ice better and faster.Andabove all,it is much

13、 greener because theres no new CO2 produced.Among all the 15 ice sporting places in theWinter Olympics,7 used the CO2 direct cooling technology to make ice.As a result,much less pollution wascaused.Beijing did so much more to save energy.Beijing built the new sporting places with green materials.As

14、for theold ones,Beijing used new glass walls to take the place of traditional walls to let more natural light in.70%of thewaste heat was also reused to keep warm and dry.And a large number of new energy cars were used at the Beijing2022 Winter Olympics.The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the first t

20、nt for Mars,“Musk said.The air on Mars is madeup of 95 percent CO2.If we could turn CO2 into fuel,we could travel the long journey from Mars back to Earth inthe future.The idea may sound strange but its not totally crazy.There are already some technologies that might help withthis.According to Di-Ji

21、a Liu,a chemist at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US,the carbon atoms（原子）inCO2 and the hydrogen（氢）atoms in water can be combined to make methane（甲烷）or ethanol（乙醇）.They couldbe used as fuel.If we do this on Mars,energy from the sun might be used as a calalyst（催化剂）.The idea will also make spac
