《2025年5年中考3年模拟英语北京专版》

The summer of 2023 saw record - breaking heatwaves across many parts of the world. As temperatures continue to rise, the effect of carbon emissions(碳排放) on the environment has become a big problem. Studies show the travel industry is responsible for about 10% of these emissions, with air travel alone causing about 2.8% of them.
To address this problem, Intrepid—a travel company, has suggested a “carbon passport” in its recent report. The idea behind it is that each traveler would have a yearly carbon limit, and nobody can go over that limit. Using carbon passports means travelers will have to take fewer flights to lower their “carbon footprint”—the CO₂ emissions from their actions. At present, the carbon footprint of each person is about four tons yearly on average (平均). To limit temperature rise to acceptable levels by 2050, our goal should be below two tons.
In line with this goal, some European countries are taking steps to reduce air travel. In France, local flights are canceled if the same trips can be made by train in 2.5 hours or less. In Belgium, additional charges(收费) are added to short - distance flights to encourage other forms of travel.
Intrepid considers the idea of a “carbon passport” effective with more people involved in it. Travelers will receive information about their carbon footprints and change their travel habits. And businesses will be pushed to use more green practices. Alex Hawkins, one of the writers of the report, says, “These passports will make us think more about how our trips influence the environment.”
When it comes to monitoring everyone’s carbon emissions, Anna Abelson, a professor of New York University thinks it would be a challenge in terms of statistics(统计数字). Even if we work that out, there are still some worries. For example, people might not be able to take jobs far away or visit family in other cities as often. Some even worry about privacy and personal freedom if we start monitoring and limiting people’s air travel.
“Getting everyone on board with carbon passports won’t be easy,” Hawkins added. “It would need support from lots of different people and groups all over the world.” However, even with the challenges, the idea of carbon passports shows the need for us to take action together to fight climate change and make travel more eco - friendly.
