选词填空

Carbon labelling isn't new, but it is gaining a lot more traction of late – especially when it comes to travel. Carbon labels should be an easy way of (11) products or services to see which are most sustainable at a glance, by providing a comprehensive, numbered footprint.

Increasing numbers of businesses across a variety of sectors are getting onboard with the idea. For example, in the last month alone, exercise tracking app Strava announced a new tool to (12) carbon savings from going for runs, walks, cycles and e - bike rides.

But perhaps one of the industries in which the concept could be most complicated is travel. It is one of the most carbon - intensive recreational activities any of us will ever take, and one for which the majority of us have (13) ideas of the impact. If you break it all down, which is really worse: an all-inclusive cruise round the Bahamas? Or a trip to an eco-lodge in Costa Rica that involves a 24-hour round-trip on a plane? As an ordinary individual, it feels like an impossible task to figure out if one holiday is “better” than another.

Many a pioneering (14) started doing the hard work of measuring the impact of trips, down to the smallest element, and posting the results on their packages several years ago. Much Better Adventures led the (15) , mailing the idea at the beginning of 2021 – the first international travel company to do so. “Do I think it will be everywhere? I do,” Sam Bruce, the business's co-founder, told me at the time. “It should go beyond travel and they should be on all products that we buy; carbon labels should be the new (16) .”

In Much Better Adventures’ case, the label includes carbon emissions from all local transport, accommodation, activities, guides, staff and office operations.

Pura Aventura, (17) in holidays to Latin America, Spain and Portugal, wasn't far behind, though with a different slant. “The complexity we have is that all our trips are (18) – so we can't say we've got 50 trips and let's measure the carbon of each one,” said co-founder and CEO Thomas Power. “Every trip is different. You need a (19) tool – so we built it into our database.”

The company doesn't just measure the trip itself, but includes the travel to get there, door-to-door: “We want to know where you live, where the airport is, which flight you're taking,” says Thomas. “We can (20) into the database your postcode, Gatwick airport, your short-haul flight – and then the carbon factor calculates the journey and the amount of carbon produced.

【参考答案】

11-15 BFGED

16-20 CJKHI

【答案详解】

11.

【答案】B. comparing

【解析】

语法分析：空格前是“way of”，介词 “of”后需接动名词形式，构成介宾结构，在给出的选项中，可能是动名词形式的有“comparing”和“specializing”，specializing后面如果要接宾语，需要通过介词in来连接，故只能选用comparing。

语义分析：后半句提到 “to see which are most sustainable at a glance”（以便一眼看出哪些是最可持续的），要达成这个目的，自然是需要对产品或服务进行“比较”，所以“comparing”符合语境，意为对比不同的产品或服务来判断其可持续性。

12.

【答案】F. calculate

【解析】

语法分析：“to”在这里表目的，后面要接动词原形，构成不定式短语。

语义分析：前文提到“a new tool”（一个新工具），结合语境，运动追踪应用程序Strava的新工具是用来“计算”跑步、骑行等活动的碳减排量的，“calculate”意思是“计算”，符合文意。

13.

【答案】G. insufficient

【解析】

语法分析：空格处修饰名词“ideas”，需要一个形容词。

语义分析：从后面“As an ordinary individual, it feels like an impossible task to figure out...”可知，普通人很难弄清楚不同假期的碳排放影响，说明大家对此的概念是“不足的、模糊的”，“insufficient”有数量或程度不够的意思，契合语境。

14.

【答案】E. operator

【解析】

语法分析：“Many a+可数名词单数”是固定结构，表示“许多”，所以这里要填可数名词单数形式。

语义分析：从“started doing the hard work of measuring the impact of trips”可知，这里指的是许多率先开展测量旅行影响工作的人，“operator”有“经营者；运营者”的含义，能表示这类从事相关业务的人员。

15.

【答案】D. charge

【解析】

语法分析：“lead the...”是常见搭配，需填入一个合适的名词。

语义分析：“lead the charge”是固定短语，意为“带头；冲锋在前”，文中指Much Better Adventures在碳标签应用这件事上起到带头作用，符合语义。

16.

【答案】A. anchor
