However, it now turns out that planting trees could ad

32、d to global warming. Tree roots do a great job of keeping soil firmly on the ground and out of the winds power. The problem is that some of those dust clouds play an important part in soaking up carbon dioxide. Huge dust storms blow out over the oceans from dry parts of North Africa and central Asia

33、. Tons of dust are lifted and left as a thin film over the ocean surface. The dust fuels oceanic life. Dust from China is carried east and left in the Pacific Ocean. If a tree-planting programme there is successful and the dust supply reduced, the net result may be that less carbon dioxide gets lock

34、ed away in the ocean. Andy Ridgwell, an environmental scientist from the University of East Anglia, has spent the past few years studying dust and says his work “shows clearly the complexity of the system and the importance of not tinkering(粗劣地修补 ) with it without understanding the results. For this

35、 reason there is the need to focus(集中 ) on cutting carbon dioxide giving off rather than monkeying (瞎弄 ) about with the land surface.” An American scientist, Robert Jackson, has shown that when native grassland areas are invaded(侵入 ) by trees, carbon is lost from the soil. “We are studying why the s

36、oil carbon disappears, but one theory is that trees do a lot more of their growing above ground compared to grasses, so less carbon goes directly into the soil from trees, ” says Jackson. In wet areas of the world, the gain from trees absorbing carbon dioxide above ground seems to be outweighed(超过 )

37、 by the loss of carbon from the soil below ground. Countries that plan to combat global warming by planting trees may have to think again. Solutions(解决办法 ) to environmental problems are often more complex than they first appear, and understanding the Earths climate is a very great challenge. 【小题 1】

38、People usually hold the opinion that A huge dust storms can destroy carbon dioxide B huge dust storms can destroy the oceans on the earth C huge dust storms cant do anything beneficial for man D planting trees is the only way to control huge dust storms 【小题 2】 Andy Ridgwell, the environmental scient
