The Paris agreement to curb climate change calls for a dramatic shift away from fossil fuels and the greenhouse gasses they emit, especially carbon dioxide.
Switching to renewable energy helps, but that won’t happen fast enough to keep temperatures from rising to dangerous levels. That’s why scientists and researchers all over the world also are working on new ways of keeping carbon out of the atmosphere.
At an industrial site in Alberta, a province in North America, Royal Dutch Shell, an oil company, recently hosted a grand opening for its Quest carbon capture and storage project.
It’s part of Shell’s oil sands business. Turning oil sands into crude oil emits a lot of carbon dioxide. So Shell tries to capture some of that greenhouse gas before it gets into the air.
The technology in the Quest project has been around for a while, but it’s still expensive: The cost of building and operating this one plant over the next decade is about $970 million. For all that money, it captures only a third of the C02 that’s produced here.
For many companies, such a plant isn’t an attractive investment because it’s not profitable.
5. What’s the purpose of Paris agreement?
6. What is the content of Shell’s Quest project?
7. Why doesn’t Quest’s plant attract to many companies?
选项
A、To help companies make more money.
B、To gain reputation around the world.
C、To keep temperatures at a low level.
D、To control the change of climate.
答案
D
解析
新闻开头提到,巴黎协定(Paris agreement)呼吁减少对化石燃料的使用及其排放的温室气体,尤其是二氧化碳,其目的是控制气候变化(to curb climate change)。D中的control the change of climate和新闻中的curb climate change含义相同,为本题答案。A是利用新闻末尾的profitable编造的信息,新闻中说该工厂不盈利所以没有投资吸引力,A与新闻内容相反。B“在全球范围内获得名声”未在新闻中提到。C中的temperature有在新闻中出现,但是新闻中说新能源并不能有效抑制气温升到危险水平,并未提及气温应控制在什么水平。
