These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish and other animals are killed immediately. Sometimes th
7、e pollutants enter the food chain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish and other animals.Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms a rainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from entering the water.Fourth, warm water. In
8、dustry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimes discharging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A higher temperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets the balance of life in the water.1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.D Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is n
9、ot an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise to cut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in the next 10 years.Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, The government puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between citi
10、es and the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priority to the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric, nuclear, wind, and solar power.Government authorities have closed small, coal-fired plants with a total capacity of 60.06 million kilowatts
11、 in the past four years. This years target of closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August.We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of our power will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020, Director Zhang said. At present, non-fossil energy accounts
12、 for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its total energy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion in clean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6 billion. Thus, China has become the world leader
13、 in generating clean energy. Five years earlier, Chinas investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, Chinas carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily. The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. For instance, more than 400,000 people were laid
14、 off as a result of the shutdown of small coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicate that the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay Chinas development, affect peoples income, and lead to unemployment.1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.C(1)getting along during this unusually hot weather.(2)the hot, humid weather is killing her.(3)does bring global warming and rain.(4)Everybody should know what causes global warming.
