The company will spend the money over the next three years on projects to store carbon, including large forests in the Netherlands and Spain, and will start offering motorists the option of purchasing carbon offsets when they buy petrol at the pump. The executives of the company explained that these carbon offset projects were a new business opportunity for Shell, as well as a way to meet its climate targets. We believe that over time we will be building a business, because these carbon credits will become more valuable as carbon becomes more limited, they said. Shell recently decided to cut its net carbon footprint(碳排放) by 2-3 percent in five years, which includes emissions(排放) from the products it sells. The company plans to produce carbon credits from the forestry projects, then sell these credits on to customers buying its oil and gas products, or apply the credits to its own operations to lower its carbon footprint. Plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and restoring forests and other natural areas is considered one of the simplest ways to store carbon. However, the voluntary market for carbon credits based on forestry projects has its critics, as projects in developing countries can be hard to monitor. Shells move has also been criticized by some environmentalists. They worried that there was a risk of greenwash when companies invested in forestry projects. There is an entire debate about whether forestry projects truly reduce emissions or not, they said, pointing out that planting in one area could cause deforestation (滥伐森林)to another. Shell said it would rely on the third party to ensure its forest program to meet the Voluntary Carbon Standard and strict biodiversity requirements. Mark Lewis, head of climate change investment research at BNP Paribas, said, Planting trees to offset emissions, as far as it goes, is a step in the right direction.8.What is popular among oil companies these days?A.Studying climate changes.B.Launching forestry programs.C.Working out carbon offset plans.D.Attracting motorists to buy their petrol.9.How will Shell Company make profits from its carbon offset projects?A.By quitting the emissions of its products.B.By reducing its carbon footprint by a quarter.C.By limiting the oil used by its own operations.D.By putting carbon credits it produces on the market.10.What concerns some environmentalists about forestry project?A.The projects cant really stop carbon emissions.B.The projects are hard to monitor in poor countries.C.The projects may lead to deforestation in other forests.D.The projects havent met strict biodiversity requirements.11.What does the underlined word greenwash in Paragraph 3mean?A.Discount.B.Cheat.C.Decline.D.Change.D Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage(绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial(细菌的) infection its protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive(DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics(抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant(DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out. In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance. Its easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesnt have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. Whats more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on whats happening with the infection, if theres an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT. Weve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in sciencelike the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then theres the novelbandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection. The more work that a bandage can do while its protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now weve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly whats going on too.12.What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A.Avoid the use of antibiotics.B.Clear out harmful bacteria.C.Detect bacterial infections.D.Increase treatment options.13.What is the advantage of the smart bandage?A.It saves much time and cost.B.It removes the risk of infection.C.It prevents the bacterial resistance.D.It improves doctor-patient relationship.14.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.Traditional bandages are out of use now.B.More smart bandages will be developed.C.Progress in science calls for more research.D.People are urged to study medical science.15.What does the text focus on?A.A successful test on mice.B.A colour-changing bandage.C.Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D.Preventing abuse of antibiotics.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When big news breaks, its easy to get caught up in following the story online.
