第二節(jié)  讀寫任務（共1小題，滿分25分）

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

The U.N. Climate Change conference opened in Copenhagen, Denmark on Dec.7th with some 15,000 delegates and observers from nearly 200 countries attending what is called the last best chance for an agreement to combat global warming.

Most scientists believe the warming trend is mainly caused by human activity, especially the use of fossil fuels (化石燃料) and the cutting down of forests. In Copenhagen, experts and officials alike are putting the emphasis on what people and governments can do to cut the emission (排放) of greenhouse gasses. Scientists say a 25 to 40 percent cut in carbon-dioxide emissions is needed to control global warming.

A youthful online group that calls itself the "Low-Carbon Tribe" is leading the way to an eco-friendly lifestyle. Tribe members, who range in age from 20 to 40, say they are trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in a relaxed and fashionable way. Helping save the planet is part of their daily routine, they claim, citing the way they dress, what they eat and how they travel.

Answer 1

Lead a Low-Carbon Lifestyle

In Copenhagen, the severe consequence brought by carbon-dioxide emissions arouses great concern of experts and officials. Some volunteer groups online propose a low-carbon lifestyle to the reduction of carbon-dioxide emissions. (30 words)

A low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspects of modern life, such as transportation, home heating, and holiday travel, which can be conducted in a way that gives the maximum reduction of personal carbon emissions. In reality, anyone can get involved. Drink less bottled water because plastic harms the environment. Take a subway or a bus to work instead of private cars, which can avoid the carbon-dioxide emissions. Raise your air conditioner’s temperature to save energy. There is other carbon-saving advice such as washing clothes by hand, eating less meat and climbing stairs instead of using elevators. Moreover, planting trees is an effective way to balance their carbon dioxide emissions.

In a word, leading a low-carbon lifestyle helps cut the carbon-dioxide emissions, save energy and give us a healthy life. (127 words)
