I first met Richard Sandor around 10 years ago when discussions about creating a global carbon
market began. He's been extremely important to the development of the emissions-trading (排污权交易
)industry since its beginnings. As chief economist for the Chicago Board of Trade in the 1970s, he had
helped develop the financial futures (期货) market, and in the late 1980s and early 1990s he all but
invented cap-and-trade programs for sulfur dioxide (SO?) emissions, the pollutant that causes acid rain.
The methodology was simple: the government puts a cap, or an upper limit on SO? emissions and then
the market takes over, with companies that can economically reduce SO? on their own allowed to sell
emissions fights to those that can't. Doing the same thing with greenhouse emissions was the logical next
step, and from the 1992 Earth Summit on, Sandor was at the forefront of those efforts, launching the
Chicago and the European Climate Exchanges, where companies could meet to trade carbon.
Sandor is a creator and a great promoter of new markets, and he has the vision, to create something
out of nothing. He doesn't just work at the level of theory, but encourages others to get involved. And
he's always been good at making money. He realized that if we built enthusiasm in a market for actually
valuing the reduction of carbon emissions-and the global carbon market is already worth more than
$30 billion-we'd remember for decades to come as a true pioneer-a man who used the power of
financial incentives (激励)as a force for change.
1. The first paragraph is developed________.

2. According to Para. 1, who will buy emission rights?

C. Companies that can reduce SO? emission.
D. Companies that can't reduce SO? emission.
3. We can learn from the passage that Richard Sandor _______.
A. is trying to make the reduction of carbon emissions profitable
B. always works in a way that is not practical
C. is a man of imagination rather than action
D. is strongly against developing industry

健康环保类文章阅读技巧：

       健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考，理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文，从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：
       第一部分一般是文章的首段，主要用来提出文章的主题，即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容；
       第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明；
       第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时，而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性，也常使用被动语态。
       从近几年的考试题来看，科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节，很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事，需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少，因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难，只要多加训练，就能较好地答题。
【阅读策略】
1、概要(Summarizing)：
      阅完材料后，将所阅材料浓缩，摘要，做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。
2、组织(Organization)：
      阅读后根据阅读内容，识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如：时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
