riceoncarbon”相呼应，故选G。【20题详析】上文“Third,techfirmsshouldholdthemselvestotheirownenvironmentalpromises.(第三，科技公司应坚守自己的环保承诺)”提出科技公司的环保责任。空处和前文为举例关系，说明科技公司践行环保承诺的例子。所以D项“例如，微软计划到2030年实现“碳负排放”。”符合语境。D选项中的“Microsoft”是上文中“techfirms”的具体例子。故选D。第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。BonnieBlumbergknewhermother,JaniceGoldstein,wascreative.Knitting(编织)stuffforthefamilymemberswasamongherhobbies.Butin2017,astrokeleftGoldstein’srightside____21____damagedandshewaswheelchair-bound.OnedayBlumbergfoundthreeknitsweatersinvariousstagesof____22____inthecornerofthecloset.Awarethatthosewere____23____forherandherdaughter,sheknewshehadtodosomething.Inalocalknittingstore,sheheardaboutLooseends.Itisanorganizationthat____24____peoplewhohavebecomeincapable,whohave____25____workfromlovedones,withcrafterswhocanfinishquilting,knittingandotherprojects,allatno____26____.AnnaMinmierwasthefinisherwho____27____Goldstein’swork.Shespentmonths____28____thesweaters.“AllIcoulddowhenImetAnnawasgiveherabighug,”Blumbergsays,tearingup.“It’sunbelievablehow____29____thisprojectis.Iwouldhavespentafortunetogetthisdone.”“Honestly,itfeelsalittle____30____,”Minmiersays.“Igettodomyhobby,andIdon’thavetopayforanyofthesupplies.”She’shappytohaveapartinwhatsheseesasabeautifulstorythat____31____generationstogetherandknowsBlumberg’sfeeling—Blumbergcanholdthe____32____thathermom,whopassedawayinSeptemberoflastyear,knittedsweatersinto____33____.“Thatisthebeautyandthevalueintheorganization,”saysLooseendsco-founderJenniferSimanic.“It’snotjustbeing____34____.It’smakingsurepeoplehavethesetangibleobjectsthatyoucan____35____whenyou’remissingaperson.That’sabigdeal.”21.A.mentally
