Ⅰ.閱讀理解
Indoor air pollution from cooking and cleaning is a growing concern. Back in 1989, a NASA study found that plants put in sealed rooms could reduce the levels of pollutants, some of which can cause cancer. That finding led to the widespread notion worldwide that adding houseplants to rooms will lower levels of indoor air pollution, but later studies suggest that the effect is too small to make a difference in people's homes.
So, Stuart Strand at the University of Washington in Seattle decided to enhance the pollution-reducing power of golden pothos(綠蘿) by adding a rabbit gene for a liver enzyme(酶) that breaks down a wide range of pollutants. This approach boosted the effect several times. But even so, to make a meaningful difference, Strand concluded that a fan would be needed to move air over the plants.
Now, a start-up enterprise called Neoplants has created another GM pothos. It has two added genes from bacteria as well as extra copies of some of the plant's own genes. This enables it to break down certain harmful air pollutants, the company says.
Comprehensive tests done in cooperation with the University of Lille in France suggest that the plants are 30 times better at removing these air pollutants than the best plants tested by NASA, says Patrick Torbey of Neoplants. The firm released a paper last week describing its work, but hasn't submitted it to a scientific journal.
“This new paper looks pretty good,” says Strand. It isn't possible to directly compare the effectiveness of his GM pothos with that of Neoplants's one as different tests were done, he says.
It remains unclear whether Neoplants's pothos will make any difference in an actual home. But Torbey says the company is setting up a research facility near Paris that will include two “bedrooms” to test this.

2.How does Stuart Strand improve the golden pothos

What to do about climate change
With scientists warning that 2024 could be the warmest ever, and destructive wildfires tearing through communities, the climate crisis is no longer a distant threat.　1　
Use energy wisely.
Using energy with wisdom is one way to cut your carbon footprint. It's not just about how much energy you use, but when you use it. 　2　 When demand is low, or during the brightest part of the day, to use solar energy can help.
　3　
Aviation(航空) brings a significant challenge of achieving net-zero(凈零) emissions. Despite accounting for just three percent of global emissions, it is a rapidly growing source and difficult to reduce carbon emissions. Reducing air travel is recommended until battery-powered and hydrogen-powered planes become practical. 　4　 There is also a recovery of Europe's night trains for low-carbon travel.
Grow your own.
Whether you have a windowsill(窗臺) or a smallholding, growing your own herbs, flowers or vegetables can be beneficial not just to pollinators(傳花粉者), which can feed off the plants, but to your mental health. Sure, cultivating a garden isn't going to absorb much carbon. 　5　 And the research suggests it is good for our mental health—particularly amid alarming news about the climate.
A.Avoid the skies.
B.Heat water less.
C.Cultivate a garden to absorb carbon.
D.But it will help you reconnect with nature.
E.Set timers for appliances to run through the night.
F.No-fly travel companies are making overland travel more attractive.
G.Listed below are three things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and save yourself from climate despair.

Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章圍繞“科學家認為室內植物具有降低污染物水平的能力”這一主題展開,由此對室內植物——綠蘿,不斷地進行改良,增強其清除空氣污染物的能力。
1.C　細節理解題。根據第一段中的“Back in 1989, a NASA study found that plants put in sealed rooms could reduce the levels of pollutants, some of which can cause cancer.”可知,植物可以降低污染物的水平。故選C。
2.C　細節理解題。根據第二段中的“Stuart Strand...decided to enhance the pollution-reducing power of golden pothos by adding a rabbit gene for a liver enzyme”可知,Stuart Strand通過增加一種兔子的肝酶基因來改良綠蘿,即通過調整植物的基因來改良綠蘿。故選C。
3.A　推理判斷題。第四段中提到了轉基因綠蘿清除空氣污染物的能力比美國國家航空航天局測試的最好的植物強30倍。由此可推斷,轉基因綠蘿清除空氣污染物的效果讓人滿意。故選A。
4.B　主旨大意題。本文第一段主要提出了“室內植物有降低污染物水平的能力”這樣一個觀點,下文主要介紹了Stuart Strand和Neoplants公司通過調整植物的基因來提升其降低污染物水平的能力,所以B項“被改良以清潔污染物的室內植物”最適合作為文章標題。故選B。
【高頻詞匯】　1.concern n.擔心;憂慮　2.make a difference有影響;起作用　3.break down使分解
4.approach n.方法;臨近　5.boost v.使增長　6.conclude v.得出結論;推斷出　7.in cooperation with...和……合作　8.modify v.調整;稍作修改
【差距詞匯】　notion n.觀念
長難句
原句　Back in 1989, a NASA study found that plants put in sealed rooms could reduce the levels of pollutants, some of which can cause cancer.
分析　本句為主從復合句。that引導賓語從句,作found的賓語;some of which can cause cancer為“代詞+介詞+關系代詞”引導的非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞pollutants。
譯文　早在1989年,美國國家航空航天局的一項研究發現,把植物放在密閉的房間里可以降低污染物的水平,其中一些污染物能夠致癌。
Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了如何應對氣候變化。
1.G　過渡句。設空處與上下文構成的語意結構為:科學家警告說,2024年可能是有史以來最溫暖的一年,毀滅性的野火肆虐社區,氣候危機不再是遙遠的威脅。→　1　→具體介紹應對氣候危機需要做的事。G項“下面列出了3件你可以做的事情來減少你的碳足跡,把自己從氣候絕望中拯救出來。”承上啟下,引出文章主題。故選G。
2.E　細節句。設空處與上下文構成的語意結構為:這不僅僅是你用了多少能源的問題,而是你什么時候用的。→　2　→當需求低時,或者在一天中最亮的時候,使用太陽能可以有所幫助。E項“設置定時器,讓電器在夜間運行。”符合語境。故選E。
3.A　主旨句。根據文章結構可知,設空處應是段落小標題。下文提到,航空業在實現凈零排放方面面臨重大挑戰,所以建議減少航空旅行。A項“避開天空。”能概括本段主旨。故選A。
4.F　細節句。上文提到,建議減少航空旅行,直到電池動力飛機和氫動力飛機成為現實。F項“不提供飛機服務的旅行公司使陸路旅行更有吸引力。”承接上文,繼續說明減少航空旅行。故選F。
5.D　細節句。上文提到,當然,開墾花園不會吸收太多的碳。D項“但它會幫助你與自然重新建立聯系。”與上文構成轉折關系,是對上文的補充說明。故選D。
【高頻詞匯】　1.destructive adj.破壞性的　2.tear v.撕扯
3.distant adj.遙遠的　4.threat n.威脅　5.significant adj.顯著的;重要的　6.account for占　7.recommend v.建議　8.recovery n.恢復　9.beneficial adj.有益的
