45.G参考答案从全球范围来看，有谁会想到IT行业释放的温室气体与全球航空公司产生的一样多呢？它大约占总二氧化碳总排量的2%。许多日常工作对环境造成了令人震惊的破坏。根据每次你搜索并得到正确答案的尝试次数，谷歌会排放0.2至7克的二氧化碳。为了迅速将结果传递给用户，谷歌在全球设置了大量充斥着能量巨大的电脑的数据中心。这些电脑在排放大量二氧化碳的同时，也产生大量的能量。因此，这些数据中心需要良好的空调降温，这又会同时产生大量的能量。然而，谷歌和其他技术提供商严密检测他们的效果并不断进行改进。监控是减排的第一步，但这仍任重道远，且不仅只由大公司来承担。小作文参考答案Dearfriend,IamwritingtocongratulateyouonyourbeingsuccessfullyadmittedtoHarvardUniversity,whichenjoysaninternationalreputationforitsacademicexcellenceandgiveyousomesuggestionsastohowtomakepreparationforthecomingcollegelife.Inorderforyoutoadaptyourselftotheuniversitylife,youareadvisedtogetpreparedphysicallyandintellectually.Firstandforemost,youneedtobuildastrongbodyforthefutureacademicpursuit,soyoucantakesomeexercisesduringthebreaks.Secondly,sincethestudyinuniversityismoredemandingthaninyoursecondaryschool,youarehighlysuggestedtofindsomeintroductorybooksfromthelibrarysoastohaveagoodideaofthespecialtyyouaregoingtotakeinyourcollegelife.Givenyoursoundability,youaresuretohaveasuccessfulcollegelife.Congratulateyouagainandwishyouafruitfulcollegelife.Sincerelyyours,ZhangWeiDearMing,Congratulations!IamgladtohearthatyouhavebeenadmittedbyMIT.Youreffortsandcommitmenthavebeenpaidoff.Youarethehonorofourfamily.Herecomesom
