41、hich residents were asked to switch off lights and appliances for one hour, had raised awareness about the problem of global warming while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by conserving energy.” 可知，地球日就是人们关灯一小时，此活动已经提高了人们全球气候变暖问题的意识，通过节能的方式来减少温室气体排放，故C选项正确。 A选项 “节能”是方式，D选项 “引起人们对全球气候变暖的关注”，是地球日的影响而
42、不是目的。故答案为C。2.
