考點第一段重點中英對照Why is carbon dioxide put underground? 為什麼二氧化碳會被埋在地下？(A) To light up greenhouses. 點亮溫室。(B) To cool down soda drinks. 冷卻汽水。(C) To limit global warming. 限制全球暖化。(D) To worsen climate change. 加劇氣候變化。 第一段：介紹CCUS        Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is good at holding in heat from the Sun, and even a small increase of the gas in the atmosphere can cause Earth to get even warmer. 二氧化碳 (CO2) 能很好地保存來自太陽的熱量，即使大氣中(CO2)氣體的少量增加也會使地球變得更加溫暖。Carbon capture, usage and storage ( CCUS ) is about different technologies that can keep CO2 produced by factories and power plants from causing global warming. 碳捕捉、利用和儲存 (CCUS) 是關於防止工廠和發電廠產生的二氧化碳導致全球暖化的不同技術。The idea is simple, and there are only a few main steps in the process. 這個概念很簡單，而且過程中只​​有幾個主要步驟。The first step is about trapping carbon emissions from factory chimneys. 第一步是從工廠煙囪中捕捉碳排放。For instance, a filter can be placed in the chimney, so that the carbon is trapped and it cannot go out into the atmosphere. 例如，可以在煙囪中放置一個過濾器，這樣碳就可以被截留，而不會排放到大氣中。Then, the gas is piped to places where it can be stored or used. 然後，氣體被輸送到可以儲存或使用的地方。(CD) If stored underground, it cannot contribute to the climate crisis. 如果儲存在地下，它不會導致氣候危機。(AB) If used, for instance, it can help grow greenhouse plants or make soda drinks. 如果利用它，舉例來說，它可以幫助種植溫室植物或製作汽水。 第二段：CCUS在全球的運作現況         While CCUS projects can clearly benefit the environment, these projects are not straightforward as there are many issues to be dealt with, such as maintaining the storage site, which have slowed start-ups of CCUS projects worldwide. 雖然 CCUS 項目顯然可以使環境受益，但這些項目並不簡單，因為需要處理許多問題，例如維護儲存場地，這減緩了全球 CCUS 項目的啟動。Thus, with only a few CCUS projects operating now, there still aren’t enough to seriously help with the world’s carbon emissions. 因此，目前只有少數幾個 CCUS 項目在運作，仍然不足以真正幫助減少世界的碳排放。Early forerunners in this technology are the US, Canada, and Norway. 這項技術的早期先驅是美國、加拿大和挪威。The good news is that CCUS has now gained momentum in other countries, where 30 new projects have begun in the past three years. 好消息是，CCUS 現在在其他國家獲得了發展動能，在過去三年中，這些國家已經啟動了 30 個新項目。The International Energy Agency says there must be many more to keep carbon emissions from heating the world too much. 國際能源署表示，必須採取更多措施來防止碳排放使世界過度升溫。 英文7000單字表https://hiworldwelcome.blogspot.com/2021/12/7000.html
