33、LET. 57 The world needs legal guidelines for burying greenhouse gases to help the still tiny business become one of the main ways of fighting global warming by 2050, the International Energy Agency(IEA)said on Thursday. The IEA said pilot projects for capturing gases emitted mainly by burning fossil

34、 fuels in power plants, refineries, and factories now accounted for just 0.05 percent of the potential total by mid-century. “There is a need for a worldwide agreement on the legal challenges,“ Claude Mandil, executive director of the IEA, which advises 26 industrialized nations, told a news briefin

35、g in Oslo during a conference on carbon capture and storage. He said most IEA estimates showed that carbon capture would be the top contributor to curbing greenhouse gases by 2050, behind only energy efficiency savings and ahead of renewable energies and nuclear power. Until now, most work has focus

36、ed on ways of cutting the prohibitively high costs of capturing, piping away and entombing the gases under a broader UN goal of averting climate change such as more droughts, floods and rising sea levels. But a legal framework was also urgently needed, in tandem with development of cheaper technolog

37、ies, Mandil said. He noted that most projects so far were small, such the Sleipner gas field off Norway where Statoil has been filtering out and reinjecting about a million tons of carbon dioxide a year since 1996 to avoid a carbon emissions tax. “Carbon capture and storage potential is 6 billion to

38、ns a year by 2050,“ he told an audience of about 200 experts. “Pay attention to the scale. That means 6,000 Sleipner projects.“ Six billion tons of carbon dioxide is roughly equivalent to current emissions by top emitters the United States and China. Carbon capture would help coal-fired power plants

39、 keep operating, he noted. Mandil that there were unsolved legal questions about who would be liable in the event of leaks from carbon stores, for instance in 20, 50 or 100 years time, and about issues such as property rights, waste and technology transfers. The IEA issued a 140-page booklet about l

40、egal aspects of storing carbon dioxide outlining the problem but stopping short of giving clear recommendations, for instance about whether governments should assume liability for leaks in the long term. The booklet also said that uncertainty about the rules should not block approval of new pilot pr

41、ojects in coming years. “We need about 10 full-scale carbon capture and storage demonstration projects by 2015,“ Mandil said. “Thats challenging but possible.“ He praised Norway, the worlds number five oil exporter, for technological advances at Sleipner and for planning to fit future gas-fired powe

42、r plants with carbon capture and storage. “Carbon capture will undoubtedly be an important part of the answer to climate change,“ Norways Oil and Energy Minister Odd Roger Enoksen said. “But the cost of carbon capture and storage has to be brought down.“ 58 According to the passage, all of the follo

43、wing can be contributors to subduing greenhouse gases EXCEPT_. （ A） carbon capture （ B） energy efficiency savings （ C） nuclear weapon （ D） renewable energies 59 According to the passage, until now, most work has focused on_. （ A） controlling hazardous chemical pollutants （ B） means of cutting the hi

44、gh fees （ C） achieving a worldwide agreement on the legal challenges （ D） eliminating all the chemical and gaseous pollutants 60 The word “averting“(Para. 3)is closest in meaning to_. （ A） avoiding （ B） asserting （ C） ascertaining （ D） availing 61 Which of the following statements is NOT true, accor

45、ding to the passage? （ A） Six million tons of carbon dioxide is roughly equivalent to current emissions by top emitters. （ B） The IEA issued a 140-page booklet about legal aspects of storing carbon dioxide. （ C） About 10 full-scale carbon capture and storage demonstration projects are needed by 2015

46、. （ D） The cost of carbon capture and storage has to be reduced. 62 Mandils attitude toward Norway is_. （ A） impersonal （ B） positive （ C） biased （ D） ironical 62 An experimental treatment for Parkinsons disease seemed to improve symptomsdramatically so, for one 59-year-old man without causing side

47、effects in an early study of a dozen patients. The gene therapy treatment involved slipping billions of copies of a gene into the brain to calm overactive brain circuitry. More than half a million Americans have Parkinsons. They endure symptoms that include tremors, rigidity in their limbs, slowness

48、 of movement and impaired balance and coordination. Eventually they can become severely disabled. The small study focused on testing the safety of the procedure rather than its effectiveness, and experts cautioned its too soon to draw conclusions about how well it works. But they called the results

49、promising and said the approach merits further studies. “We still have quite a bit more testing to do,“ said Dr. Michael Kaplitt of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, an author of the study. Still, “the initial results are extremely encouraging“. Nathan Klein, a 59-year-old freelance television producer in Port Washington, N.Y., said the disease left him “pretty messed up“. It weakened his voice, impaired his walking and made his h
