Soot-also known as black carbon- heats up the atmosphere because it absorb sunlight. But for years the institutions that focus on climate policy have played down the role of pollutants such as black carbon that stay in the atmosphere for a short time and concentrated on carbon dioxide, which once created. tends to remain there. That may soon a change.

A new study concluded that the soot was the second-most-damaging greenhouse agent after co₂ and about twice as bad for the climate as had been thought until now. The consequences are intense. It found that the black carbon around at the moment has a warming effect of about 1.1 w/㎡. This is greater than that of methane(甲烷) and second only to the 1.7w/㎡ of carbon dioxide.

Black carbon is especially damaging to frozen regions, because when soot falls on snow and ice it increases the amount of light and heat they absorb. The new assessment may therefore help explain why the Arctic has been melting faster than anyone had expected. The study argues that warming is likely to be especially marked in the high positions of the northern part of the globe-northern Canada. Alaska, northern Europe and Siberia. It also gives a warning that black carbon, by changing regional precipitation(区域性降水) patterns, may affect Asian monsoons(季风).

The biggest impact of soot, though. is not on the climate but on health-through lung and other diseases. A study estimated that controlling releases of black carbon could save 2.4 million lives a year, regardless of any effects on the climate.

It might seem that the new study is one more item of bad environmental news. Not so. It should be easier to deal with black carbon than with CO₂. Whereas CO₂ is long-lasting and an unavoidable by-product of burning fossil fuels. soot drops out of the atmosphere within weeks. Stop putting it there and it will rapidly go away-a potentially easy win. Dealing with them is also cheaper than cutting CO₂ releases and does not need global agreement, because the local benefits would be the main point, so no one could free-ride on the emission-cutting efforts of others. Instead, the good of the climate would be free-riding on local self-interest.

(B) 32. Why have the institutions paid less attention to soot?

A. It is too small in amount to be noticed.

B. It just stays in the atmosphere for a short time.

C. It belongs to carbon dioxide.

D. It is beyond their study.

【解析】第一段第二句可推断出因为煤烟停留时间短,所以未多关注,选B。

(A) 33. Why has the Arctic been melting faster than expected?

A. Soot has much stronger damaging power.

B. People play down the role of soot.

C. The amount of rain increases.

D. The globe is becoming warmer.

【解析】第三段前两句指出黑炭对冻土地区破坏性尤其大,因为黑炭落到雪和冰上后,会增加他们吸收的光和热的量,这解释了为什么北极地区比人们预料的要融化的快,所以选A。

(D) 34. What is the fundamental reason for people to deal with soot?

A. Soot can change regional precipitation patterns.

B. Soot can fasten the melting pace of frozen regions.

C. Soot can cause acid rain.

D. Soot can cause diseases.
