14、uy new ecofriendly products or used traditionally produced goods”再根据第二段一整段的内容，作者通过研究得出答案，有时候是新型环保产品好，有时候是另一种更好。文章接下来的段落分析了作者这个答案是怎样找到的。由此可知，文章的内容主要是关于怎样选择更环保的生活方式的。故选D。2What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?AIt is related to our consumption of fuels.BIt is made when we are buying the
15、products.CIt is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.DIt is counted as ours though not directly made by us.D推理判断题。根据第三段中“The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we usethose related to their production and breakdown.”可知，第二种碳足迹虽

28、句。根据对本段的整体理解可知，本段主要陈述的是健康的行为习惯的具体方面，与选项B内容呼应，所以选B项。5C空后一句中的“where to find it”与C选项中的“keep it somewhere safe and visible”相呼应，故空处应是建议把必要信息单独放在安全且家人都能看到的地方，所以选C项。.语法填空How do you know I am really a human writing this article and not a robot?Forbes uses 1._AI robot called Bertie to assist in providing rep

33、ses时态保持一致，所以填has。4were published考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子成分可知，空处为句子的谓语，又与句子主语850 articles构成被动关系，故用被动语态，即bedone，且根据and可知，此处应与earned的时态保持一致，即一般过去时，所以填were published。5easier考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的and可知，此处与faster并列，故用形容词的比较级形式作宾语补足语，所以填easier。6producing考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，空处作介词by的宾语，所以填producing。7to concentrat
