kg C Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth s atmosphere from warming is by planting more trees The idea is that more trees will take in or absorb some of the carbon dioxide 8 16 in the atmosphere Carbon dioxide is a gas released by cars factories and other human activities The gas traps heat in the Earth s atmosphere which warms the planet However two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as thought The first study was done at Duke University in Durham North Carolina Researchers pumped extra carbon dioxide into a test area where pine trees were growing The trees grew thirty four percent faster during the first three years However in time the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients such as nitrogen In the second study researchers from Duke and Bowdoin College in Brunswick Maine examined the soil around trees They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil all the carbon was not trapped in the soil Much of it was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide The findings of the two studies were published last month in Nature magazine They suggest there is limited value in planting trees to reduce the carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere Forest planting has been a part of negotiations on a world agreement to reduce greenhouse gases that scientists believe cause global warming The United States Canada Japan and some other industrial countries have supported the idea But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists had thought Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth He says that earlier estimates on the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide were overly hopeful Some scientists not involved in the studies say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react to carbon dioxide Other scientists say the research disputes a belief among some coal and power companies The companies say that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not create harmful global warming Instead they say it will increase forests and other plants 73 What is the purpose of this passage A Introduce some new ideas about the relationship between trees and carbon dioxide B Introduce recent condition of global industrial pollution C Call on people to plant more trees to reduce greenhouse gases D Point out that power companies should be responsible for the rising levels of carbon dioxide 74 Why did the researchers put trees in extra carbon dioxide in the first study A To learn whether trees can still absorb carbon dioxide under extreme conditions B To get more oxygen from these trees C To evaluate the maximum carbon dioxide that trees can absorb D To see the effect of carbon dioxide on the growth rate of these trees 75 What happened to the leaves falling from the trees in the second study A They broke down and the main parts turned into oxygen B They broke down and the carbon content had mainly turned into carbon dioxide C They broke down and the carbon content was mainly absorbed in the soil D They absorbed more carbon dioxide 76 Scientist Ram Oren thinks that common beliefs of the tree s ability to absorb carbon dioxide are 9 16 A appropriate B pessimistic C over optimistic D convincing 77 The word dispute Line 2 Para 6 probably refers to A question B support C maintain D accept Section C 8 分 Directions Read the passage carefully Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words
