Frm slar panels t electric cars, clean energy has becme a bigger part f ur lives in recent years. A new reprt frm the Internatinal Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that it will nly develp a strnger fthld in the decades t cme, with mre slar panels, electric cars, and renewable energy by 2030.

It's nt a questin f‘if’, but a matter f‘hw sn’——and the sner, the better fr all f us,’’says the IEA Executive Directr FatihBirl.

Gvernments must triple renewable capacity,reduce methane emissins frm fssil fuel peratins by 75%, and triple clean energy in develping ecnmies.
“Every cuntry needs t find its wn pathway, but internatinal cperatin is crucial fr accelerating clean energy transitins,”Birl asserts.“In particular, the speed at which emissins decline will be largely determined by ur ability t fi nance sustainable slutins t meet rising energy demand frm the wrld's fast-grwing ecnmies. This all pints t the imprtance f redubling cperatin, nt retreating(逃避) frm them.”
28. What des the new reprt frm the IEA shw?
A. The demand fr fssil fuels is still currently strng.
B. The wrldwide shift t clean energy is unstppable.
C. The threat f glbal warming is being underestimated.

Plants are bring. They just sit there phtsynthesizing (光合作用) while animals have all the fun. Right? Nt s much. A new study has fund that there is a lng histry f interactins between ants and plants. The an t and plant c-evlutin(协同进化) started with ants feeding n plants and plants evlving ant-friendly features.
Plants make a number f different structures that are specific fr an t use. Sme plants have evlved features that persuade ants int defending them frm attack frm ther insects and even mammals. These include hllw thrns(根茎) that ants will live inside, r extra nectar(琼浆) n leaves r stems fr the ants t eat. Sme ants will just cheat and take the nectar and run, but sme will'stick arund and attack anything that tries t hurt the plant. Other plants get ants t help them mve their seeds arund, by prviding them with rich fd packets attached t the seeds. The ant will pick up the seed and carry it away, eat the fd packet, and leave the seed-ften in a nutrient-rich area where it'll grw better, and since it's farther away frm its parent,they wn't have t cmpete fr resurces.
But scientists weren't sure hw the evlutinary relatinship between ants and plants gt started. If evlutin is an arms race between species develping ways t make use f their neighbrs, then scientists wanted t knw whether plants r ants fired the first sht. It was a chicken-and-egg questin, whether things started with ants develping behavirs t take advantage f plants, r plants evlving structures t take advantage f ants.
The histry f ants and plants evlving tgether ges back t the time f the dinsaurs, and it's nt easy t tell frm fssils wh fired the first sht. Hwever, it is a questin f little significance Scientists say their study matters because it prvides a lk at hw these widespread and cmplex interactins evlved.

A. t reward the ants. B. t make a fl f ants.
C. t get the seeds mved arund. D. t prvide nutritin fr the seeds.
高二英语试卷 第7页 (共12页)33. What des Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

C. Hw plants and ants survive attacks. D. Why plants and ants need c-evlutin.
34. Which is true abut the evlutinary relatinship between ants and plants?
A. Ants depended mre upn plants. B. Hw it gt started was uncertain.
C. It caused a race fr better evlutin. D. It was f little value fr future studies.
35. What's the authr's purpse f writing the passage?
