The greening of planes，trains and automobiles

Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放).As the world races to decarbonize everything，it faces particular problems with transportation—which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.Here's the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.

The fuels for transport need to be not just green，cheap and powerful，but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around.Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs.Much is still to be settled，but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.

This energy transition (变革) is global，and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing”，says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.It's estimated that the global demand for electricity could more

than double by 2050.Fortunately，analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task.“We need to speed up the development of green energy，and it will all get used，” says Wipke.

[语篇解读]　这是一篇应用文。文章主要围绕全球交通领域的碳排放及绿色转型展开，说明不同交通方式有特定燃料需求，全球能源转型中可再生能源需求巨大。

1．What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?

A．11.6%. B．45.1%.

C．74.5%.    D．86.1%.

解析　数据分析题。根据文中第一张图中的相关数据“ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1%”和“ROAD (GOODS) 29.4%”可知，公路车辆在全球交通排放中的总占比为45.1%＋29.4%＝ 74.5%。故选C。

答案　C

2．Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?

A．Planes.    B．Trucks.

C．Trains.    D．Ships.

解析　细节理解题。根据文中第二张图中“TRAINS—Electricity”部分的描述可知，火车使用电能作为能源，一些火车已经实现了电气化，其他火车可以通过非常简单的方式实现电气化。相对图中描述的飞机、卡车和轮船的燃料转型，火车绿色转型更简单。故选C。

答案　C

3．What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?

A．Limiting fuel consumption.

B．Putting more effort into renewables.

C．Improving energy efficiency.

D．Making electricity more affordable.

解析　细节理解题。根据文中最后一段Wipke的话“We need to speed up...used”可知，Wipke认为需要加快绿色能源的发展，绿色能源将全部投入使用。B项“加大对可再生能源的投入”与文意相符。故选B。

答案　B

B

Many people around me make a difference to the world on a daily basis—being kind in unexpected ways and sharing the generosity of their lives with others.I，like many of them，volunteer some of my time in order to give back just a little of what I am so blessed to have.I volunteered to go to Guatemala with an eyeglass team from International Relief Teams—an organization I have supported in other ways for many years.

Our team went to a small town in Guatemala.We set up our tables and packages of pre-made

glasses in the dirty courtyard of a clinic，put up the Snellen chart (an eye chart) on a wall，and began our work.

Young and old people came from many of the surrounding towns.Most had never received an eye exam before.They waited for hours patiently in the sun，never complaining.If we could help them out，their thankfulness for a simple pair of glasses was overwhelming.Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses，and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely.All of them were very generous with blessings and smiles.We heard over and over from people who knew their eyes needed help but they had not gone to a doctor because it was too expensive，or had not got the glasses they needed for the same reason.

It's so easy to overlook how much difference the volunteers' small actions can make to the lives of people in Guatemala.The glasses in my country are so easily available，but to people in Guatemala，they are not.

As those who could give them a hand，we watched their lives change.What a gift sight is—and what a difference being able to see clearly makes! Here，we'd like you to join us and take action to help people in need.And every day，those actions change lives.No action is too small；no action is ever wasted.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。作者加入了国际救援小组的眼镜队，去危地马拉参加志愿活动，贡献出自己的一份力量，并号召人们在日常生活中也要做好事。

4．What do we know about the volunteers in the eyeglass team?

A．Their working environment is simple.

B．They are medical experts nationwide.

C．Their initial preparation is inadequate.

D．They have served people in Guatemala for years.

解析　细节理解题。由第二段中的“We set up our tables and packages of pre-made glasses in the dirty courtyard...and began our work.”可知，眼镜队志愿者的工作环境很简陋。故选A。其他三项文中没有提及。

答案　A

5．Which of the following words can be used to describe most people in Guatemala?

A．Kind and helpful.

B．Poor but grateful.

C．Considerate and patient.

D．Knowledgeable but unhealthy.

解析　推理判断题。由第三段中的“Some only left with eye drops or sunglasses，and even these people expressed their gratitude sincerely.”可推知，Guatemala的人是感恩的；由第三段
