D.TofollowItalianlaw.〖答案〗28.D29.B30.D31.B【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了意大利各地的城镇都在竞相推出旨在吸引新居民来振兴城镇的计划。【28题详析】细节理解题。第二段最后一句提到“Thecashmotivationisexpectedtobreathenewlifeintothedepopulatingtown,wherenewbornsarefewereachyear.”（现金的刺激有望为这个人口日益减少的小镇注入新的活力，这里的新生儿每年都在减少。）由此判断，很多意大利小镇面临的问题是人口数量的减少。故选D。【29题详析】词句猜测题。第二段第二句提到“Officialssaytheywillpaypeopleupto30,000eurostobuyanemptyhouseandtakeupresidency.Evenbetter,thehousesforsaleaspartofthedealarepricedaround25,000euros.”（官员们表示，他们将向购买空房子并居住的人支付高达3万欧元的费用。更妙的是，作为交易的一部分，待售房屋的价格在2.5万欧元左右。）能够以更低的价格购买房子并且购买房子后还可以得到一笔费用，这是一个非常诱人的条件！A.Conditional有条件的；B.Attractive有吸引力的；C.Formal正式的；D.Reasonable合理的。attractive(有吸引力的)符合文意，故选B。【30题详析】推理判断题。第三段第一、二、三句提到“PresiccetracesitshistorytotheMiddleAges,boomingduringtheRenaissanceasaprosperousplaceknownforitsfinewine,cheesesandcattletrade.Itgainsareputationasa“townofgreengold”forgreenolivetreesandoliveoil.Itslocationisincredible,surroundedbythenatureoftheSalentoareaandclosetobeautifulbeachesandclearwatersofSantaMariadiLeuca.”（雷西塞的历史可以追溯到中世纪，在文艺复兴时期蓬勃发展，以优质葡萄酒、奶酪和牲畜贸易而闻名。它因绿油油的橄榄树和橄榄油而享有“绿色黄金之城”的美誉。它的位置令人难以置信，被萨伦托地区的自然环境所包围，靠近美丽的海滩和圣玛丽亚迪卢卡的清澈海水。）这三句提到了Presicce优美的自然风光和令人闻名的特产，说明这是一个非常宜居的地方，但由于各种原因有着很多空置房间。后文提到““Therearemanyemptyhomesinthehistoricalcenterbuiltbefore1991whichwewouldliketoseealiveagainwithnewresidents,”sayslocalcouncilorAlfredoPalese.“Itisapitywitnessinghowourolddistrictsfullofhistory,wonderfularchitectureandartareslowlyemptying.””（当地议员AlfredoPalese说：“在1991年之前建造的历史中心有许多空置的房屋，我们希望看到新居民重新活跃起来。”“看到我们那些充满历史、美妙建筑和艺术的老城区正在慢慢清空，真是令人遗憾。”）当地议员希望这些美丽的地方不要被空置，因此通过展示当地的美好来吸引更多的人入住，使得这个小镇重新焕发生机。D项“TostresstheimportanceofrevivingPresicce.”（强调振兴Presicce的重要性）该项符合文意。故选D。【31题详析】推理判断题。第四段第一句提到“AccordingtoPalese,a2019merger(合并)withthenearbytownAcquaricatocreatethelargertownPresicce-Acquaricahasprovidedthemwithextramoneytoensuretheprojectcancontinueforyearstocome.”（根据Palese的说法，2019年与附近的小镇Acquarica合并，创建了更大的小镇Presicce-Acquarica，这为他们提供了额外的资金，以确保该项目可以在未来几年继续进行。）由此判断，两个小镇的合并是为了吸引更多的资金。故选B。DTreesnaturallyabsorbedCO₂throughphotosynthesis(光合作用),releasingoxygen,storingcarbonfordecades,orevencenturies.BiotechnologyfirmLivingCarbonsayslabtrialsofitsgenetically-changedpoplartreestakeupmorecarbonandgrow1.5timesfasterthanunchangedones.Theteamaddedgenesfrompumpkintothepoplars,whichmakestheirphotosynthesismoreefficient,turningmorecarbondioxideintosugarstocreatewoodbiomass(生物量).Thoughthefirm’slabresultsarepromising,biologistswarnthathighgrowthratesarenotguaranteedinthewildasthepoplarscompeteforsunlightwithotherplantsandtrees.Genetically-modified(GM)supertreesmayalsoneedmuchwateringandfertilizertokeeptheirrapidgrowth.TheresultsareimportantgiventherateofclimatechangeandclimbingCO₂levelsintheatmosphere.ButcriticssaythereareriskstoplantingGMtreesinthewildiftheyreproducewithothertrees,ornegativelyaffectotherplantandanimalspecies.LivingCarbonsaystreesareahybridthatcanonlyreproducefromcuttings,socannotcross-pollinate(授粉)withwildtrees.Ifthefieldtrialsaresuccessful,thenitwillstilltaketimetogetapprovalfromthegovernment.Onesixth,around135,treespeciesintheUSmayfaceextinctionduetoclimatechange,foreigninsectspecies,ordisease.AndeventhoughfieldtrialsofaGMchestnuttreehaveshownitsabilitytoresistsomeforeigndiseasethatwipedoutbillionsofAmericanchestnuts,itstillhasnotbeenapprovedforplanting.IfCO₂storageistheaim,thentherearespeciesthatalreadyfitthebill.California’sRedwoodtreesstoremorecarbonthananyotherspecies.Redwoodsarenotsuitableforeveryforestryplot,socreatingclimateadaptabletreesthroughreproducingprogramsthatfitintolocalecosystemsisthegoal.Butintherushtofixtheclimatecrisis,increaseCO₂uptake,andcarbonstorage,GMsupertreesmaybepartofthatsolution.32.Howwasthepoplars’carboncapacityimproved?A.Byabsorbingcarbondioxide.
