学习啦在线学习网 The United Nations yesterday urged a global phase-out of old-style light bulbs and a switch to low-energy lighting that would save billions of dollars and combat (对抗) climate change. About 40 countries already have plans to switch from incandescent light bulbs (白炽灯泡), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said in a report.
学习啦在线学习网 Generation of electricity for lighting, often from burning fossil fuels, accounts for 8% of world greenhouse gas emissions (排放), it said. A shift to more efficient bulbs would cut electricity demand for lighting by 2%.
学习啦在线学习网 Indonesia, for instance, could save $1bn a year and cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 8m tonnes a year, the equivalent of taking 2m cars off the road. Brazil could save $2bn a year, Mexico $900m, Ukraine $210m and South Africa $280m. All would also deliver big cuts in emissions. “The actual economic benefits could be even higher,” said Achim Steiner, head of UNEP, who added that a switch to efficient lighting in Indonesia would avoid the need to build several coal-fired power stations costing $2.5bn. And similar findings come from other country assessments.
He also said the cost calculations did not include health benefits from switching from the use of fossil fuels, including use of kerosene lamps (煤油灯). About 1.8m deaths a year are linked with indoor air pollution.
UNEP cautioned(警告) there were drawbacks because the most common low-energy light bulbs contain toxic (有毒的) material. It said countries need to ensure safe collection and disposal(处理) of the light bulbs. It is a central challenge, especially in developing countries. Countries including EU members, the US, Canada, Australia, Cuba and the Philippines were working on phase-outs of old-style bulbs.
64. The underlined part “phase-out” in the first paragraph means “_____”.
学习啦在线学习网 A. new recognition B. further discussion
C. gradual disuse D. steady improvement
学习啦在线学习网 65. By using low-energy bulbs, the greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by _____.
A. 0.16% B. 2% C. 6% D. 8%
66. Which of the following countries will save the most money by using low-energy bulbs?
学习啦在线学习网 A. Indonesia. B. Brazil. C. Mexico. D. South Africa.
学习啦在线学习网 67. What’s the challenge of popularizing low-energy bulbs?
A. Inconvenience in using. B. Lack of financial support.
C. Safety of dealing with used bulbs. D. Misunderstanding from the public.
bn a year, Mexico 0m, Ukraine 0m and South Africa 0m.
