可知，第二种碳足迹虽然不是我们直接产生的，但是也是我们使用的产品释放出来的，也是要归结到我们身上的。故选D项。26.A。结论判断题。根据第四段中Thingslikedishes,clothesandfurniturefallintothe“secondaryfootprint”group,solessismoreandwecanfocusonfindingusedgoodstoavoidtheaddedproduction可知，像盘子，衣服和家具这样的物品是属于“第二种碳足迹”，所以这样的物品越少越好，我们应该注重用过的物品来避免额外的生产。二手书也是属于和衣服等可以二次使用的物品，符合题意。故选A项。27.A。词句指代题。根据第四段中Themainconcernhereistheamountofenergythatgoesintothemakingofnewproductsandwhetherornotthatextracarbonisworththefootprinttheproductwillmakeonceitgetstoyou.(这里主要关注的是制造新产品所消耗的能源以及一旦这种产品到达你的手中所产生的额外的碳足迹是否值得)可知，划线词组thefootprint指代

“产品使用过程中产生的二氧化碳”。故选A项。lifecycle
