China needs to set absolute restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions(释放) if it is to fulfill its aim to set up a carbon market over the next five years, a cabinet office think tank said in a paper.
“It is only under an absolute emissions cap that carbon emission permits will bee a scarce resource and possess the qualities of a modity,” the State Council?s Development and Research Center said in a paper in Seeking Truth, a magazine published by the ruling party.
China has traditionally baulked(犹豫) at the idea of emissions caps either on a regional basis or for industrial sectors, invoking a key Kyoto protocol principle that puts most of the burden of cutting green-house gases on developed countries.
China, the world ‘s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has also been under external pressure to make stronger mitments in the battle against global warming .The country has been the biggest beneficiary(受益人) of the Clean Development Mechanism, a UN-backed scheme that allows industrialized countries to meet their CO2 reduction targets by purchasing certified emission reductions or CERs from low-carbon projects launched in developing nations.
However, the European Union, the biggest buyer of CERs, has said it will not accept CERs generated by Chinese projects once the first phase of its Emissions Trading Scheme ends in 2012, though projects already registered will remain valid.
【小题1】 What does China hope to do in the next five years?A.to cut its emissions by 45%B.to set up a carbon marketC.to have lower emissions than other countriesD.to increase both emissions and production【小题2】 China agreeing to limit emissions now because    A.they care about the environmentB.emissions harm people’s healthC.of pressure from other countriesD.they want more profit for their factories【小题3】How does the CER scheme work?A.Countries can buy the right to produce as much carbon emissions as they like.B.All countries are required to set a carbon emissions cap and can then get certificates on how developed their environmental programme is.C.Developed countries are allowed to produce more emissions than industrial countries.D.Developed countries can buy the right to produce more carbon emissions from developing countries that produce less.【小题4】 What is the main idea of this passage?A.Air pollution is still increasing the problem of climate change all over the world.B.China is still resisting cutting emissions as it is necessary for the manufacturing industry.C.China believes that it is free from meeting international standards on emissions.D.China will need to cut its emissions in the near future in order to keep up with the international munityB

解析:文章主要介绍了中国作为一个发展中国家以及全球最大的二氧化碳排放国,在全球变暖的背景下面临的严峻问题。
【小题1】细节题。根据if it is to fulfill its aim to set up a carbon market over the next five years,可知中国期待五年内建立碳市场,所以选B
【小题2】细节题。根据第四段China, the world ‘s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, has also been under external pressure to make stronger mitments in the battle against global warming,可知中国决定采取措施降低碳排放是由于外界压力,所以选C
【小题3】细节题。根据第四段的allows industrialized countries to meet their CO2 reduction targets by purchasing certified emission reductions or CERs from low-carbon projects,可知CER指的是碳排放的购买,所以选D
【小题4】主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容,中国在不久的将来就要严格制定减轻碳排放的计划,以适应国际需求。所以选D
