英语试题 07-07
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
My mom is an environmentalist. We've always composted (制堆肥） and she's always had some sort of garden. She also never threw anything away because she could see the second 41 in it.
I grew into a 42 lifestyle. And I started 43 my carbon footprint and consumption.
I decided to 44 my car for one month in May of 2017. If I needed a car, I was going to borrow someone's to prove that I had the community to 45 this decision. I only ended up 46 a car once, and I realized it didn't make sense to own a car, 47 it and pay for gas. So in September, I fully 48 and sold my car.
I also fly a lot for work, and on my 49 from the travel agency, it will include how many tons of 50 you're emitting (排放） from just your single 51, which is like a punch in the gut.
As a result, it has become a 52 for me to offset (抵消） my carbon emissions. I 53 my carbon emissions, and go onto carbonfootprint. com and purchase an offset in the 54 of a donation. If we're going to 55 the environment this much, we have to be doing something that's going to offset the carbon 56 until there's a carbon tax, which I truly hope is 57 we will go next.
It s also really important to talk about what we could see the 58 as, because it gets so dark so fast when people talk about 59 change.
I don't know what the 60 is of me not having a car, but I hope it's something positive that I can't necessarily see.
