▲ 閱讀下文，回答第 38 － 42 題 Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is good at holding in heat from the Sun, and even a small increase
of the gas in the atmosphere can cause Earth to get even warmer. Carbon capture, usage and
storage ( CCUS ) is about different technologies that can keep CO2 produced by factories and
power plants from causing global warming. The idea is simple, and there are only a few main
steps in the process. The first step is about trapping carbon emissions from factory chimneys. For
instance, a filter can be placed in the chimney, so that the carbon is trapped and it cannot go out
into the atmosphere. Then, the gas is piped to places where it can be stored or used. If stored
underground, it cannot contribute to the climate crisis. If used, for instance, it can help grow
greenhouse plants or make soda drinks.
While CCUS projects can clearly benefit the environment, these projects are not
straightforward as there are many issues to be dealt with, such as maintaining the storage site,
which have slowed start-ups of CCUS projects worldwide. Thus, with only a few CCUS projects
operating now, there still aren’t enough to seriously help with the world’s carbon emissions.
Early forerunners in this technology are the US, Canada, and Norway. The good news is that
CCUS has now gained momentum in other countries, where 30 new projects have begun in the
past three years. The International Energy Agency says there must be many more to keep carbon
emissions from heating the world too much. 【題組】38. What is the purpose of this article?
(A) It informs us about CCUS.
(B) It advises us against CCUS.
(C) It introduces new CCUS projects.
(D) It shows CCUS impact on technology.
【題組】39. What is the process of CCUS?
(A) To trap the CO2 , and then either keep it or use it.
(B) To use the CO2 , and then store it in greenhouse plants.
(C) To pipe the CO2 , and then trap it to cause the climate crisis.
(D) To store the CO2 underground, and then pipe it to the chimneys.
【題組】40. Why is carbon dioxide put underground?
(A) To light up greenhouses. (B) To cool down soda drinks.
(C) To limit global warming. (D) To worsen climate change.
【題組】42. What can be concluded from paragraph 2?
(A) CCUS will be stopped from now on to save money.
(B) The number of countries using CCUS may increase.
