Testo di Lettura
Burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) for energy purposes releases a gas called carbon dioxide (C02)into the atmosphere. The ever-increasing levels of Co2 in the atmosphere contribute to global warming and thus harm the environment. In order to combat global warming, scientists have proposed capturing CO2 from industrial facilities that use fossil fuels and storing it underground. The captured Co2 would be transported to storage sites and injected into deep underground rocks. However, there are several significant challenges that make it difficult to store CO2 underground. Storage First, there is the question of whether locations proposed for storing Co2 have enough space. The burning of fossil fuels around the world releases billions of tons of Co2 into the atmosphere annually. In order to make a considerable difference in combating global warming, most of the released Co2 would need to be captured and stored underground. It is not clear whether underground sites suitable for CO2 storage have enough space. Health Risks Second, if C02 escapes from underground storage sites, it can pose risks to human health. CO2 leaks may occur if, for example, unforeseen natural processes or forces create cracks in the ground above the storage site. Although the normal atmospheric levels of Co2 are harmless, high concentrations of Co2 may be unsafe, causing headaches, tiredness. and possibly even death. High Costs Finally, a wide range of costs are associated with the process of storing CO2 underground. First, new technologies for capturing and storing C02 that currently do not exist will have to be created. In addition, new infrastructure, such as pipelines transporting Co2 from industrial facilities to storage sites. will have to be built. All of these requirements will likely result in very high costs for constructing and operating CO2 storage systems.

The reading claims that storing CO2 into the deep underground rocks is difficult because of some challenges. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that researchers find some ways to solve these problems. To begin with, the reading asserts that there is no enough room for CO2 storage. However, the professor contradicts this point by saying that CO2 take large space when it is in gas condition. However, when CO2 get high pressure, it can become a kind of super critical fluid. This characteristic of CO2 makes it possible to be compressed and take less space. In addition, if CO2 leaks, there is a really good chance that high concentrations of CO2 cause to human's health problems. However, the professor rebuts this point by saying that scientists can minimize the possibilities of CO2 leak. When CO2 is close to the ground, it can harm people during people's sleep. Scientists can make a kind of monitor devise to monitor the concentration of CO2. Therefore, when CO2 leaks, this device will be able to warn people to run away. Finally, the reading states that the process of storing CO2 will cost a lot of money. However, the professor contradicts this point by saying that people can use another gas called methane to offset the huge cost. This is because the deep underground rocks are rich in methane. When people inject CO2 into these places, they can also get methane. As a result, people sell methane at a high price because the gas can be used as energy.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
The reading passage argues that storing CO2 underground is challenging due to limited storage space, health risks, and high costs. However, the lecture counters these points by presenting solutions to overcome these challenges.
Firstly, the reading suggests that there may not be enough space for CO2 storage underground. The lecture refutes this by explaining that when CO2 is subjected to high pressure and temperature, it transforms into a supercritical fluid. This transformation allows CO2 to occupy less space, thus reducing the need for extensive storage areas.
Secondly, the reading raises concerns about potential health risks if CO2 leaks from underground storage sites. The lecture counters this by stating that research has shown CO2 leaks usually remain close to the ground, posing a risk only if people breathe air near the ground level. To mitigate this risk, monitoring devices can be installed in areas where CO2 is stored. These devices would sound an alarm when detecting elevated CO2 levels, alerting people to evacuate and avoid breathing air close to the ground.
Lastly, the reading highlights the high costs associated with capturing and storing CO2 underground. In contrast, the lecture explains that some of these costs can be offset by financial benefits derived from methane extraction. Suitable sites for CO2 storage often contain deep underground rock layers rich in methane gas. When injecting CO2 into these rocks, they release methane which can be collected and sold as fuel. Profits from selling methane can partially compensate for the expenses incurred in carbon dioxide storage projects. (255 words)

In the reading passage, the author provides three arguements to support his viewpoint that thr real Richard III killed his nephews. However, the lecture presents a contrasting perspective, asserting that Richard III had nothing to do with the death of his nephews. First, the author contends that, in order to become king, Richard had a strong motive to kill his nephews. Neverthelss, the lecture introduces a counterargument that Richard III could not be a king himself. Since his parents were not married, his appearance and succession was not allowed by law. Hence, losing the right to become a king, he had no reason to kill his nephews. Second, the lecturer rasises skeptism regarding another argument presented by the author, demonstrating many writers, including Shakespeare, maintained that Richard was guilty for the death of his nephews. Then, the lecturer makes his skepticism evident by stating that many writers are not independent observators, but those who are supported by tuitors. These tuitors came from royal families who was thirsty for the fortune of the kingdom. Theredore, due to interests, theses writers made up the story that Richard was guilty. So, it is not granted to agree with these writers' view. Finally, the third supporting reason, that physical evidence that are two skeletons found in where Richard had the nephews housed, faces opposition from the lecturer. The lecturer accentuates inconsistencies and challenges this point by emphasizing that skeletons found at the Tower of London maybe not Richard III's nephews'. So small these skeletons are, they cannot eatablish the age of them and even tell whether they are boys or girls. Apart from that, living in London at that time, there were many children died

In the reading passage, the author provides three arguments to support the viewpoint that the real Richard III killed his nephews. However, the lecture presents a contrasting perspective, asserting that Richard III had nothing to do with the death of his nephews. Firstly, the author contends that Richard had a strong motive to kill his nephews in order to become king. Nevertheless, the lecture introduces a counterargument that Richard III did not need to kill them since he used a different strategy to remove them as competitors. He persuaded authorities to declare their parents' marriage illegitimate, thus disqualifying them from succession and eliminating any reason for him to harm them.
Secondly, the lecturer raises skepticism regarding another argument presented by the author, which states that many writers of that time, including Shakespeare and Sir Thomas More, maintained that Richard was guilty of his nephews' deaths. The lecturer argues that these writers were not independent observers but were associated with Richard's enemies, the Tudor family. The Tudors had their own motives for accusing Richard of murder as it justified their takeover of the kingdom. Consequently, it is not prudent to take these writers' views at face value.
Lastly, the third supporting reason provided by the author is physical evidence in the form of two skeletons found in the Tower of London where Richard had housed his nephews. The lecturer challenges this point by emphasizing inconsistencies and doubts surrounding this evidence. It is impossible to accurately determine these skeletons' age or even their gender from their remains alone. Furthermore, numerous families with children lived in and around the Tower of London for centuries before these skeletons were discovered; hence they could belong to any one of those children who died there.
In light of these counterarguments presented by the lecturer, it becomes evident that there are significant doubts regarding whether Richard III was indeed responsible for his nephews' deaths as suggested by various historical accounts and the reading passage. (330 words)

Hence, losing the right to become king, he had no reason to kill his nephews.
Secondly, the lecturer raises skepticism regarding another argument presented by the author, demonstrating that many writers, including Shakespeare, maintained that Richard was guilty of causing his nephews' deaths. The lecturer makes their skepticism evident by stating that many writers were not independent observers but those who were supported by tutors from royal families thirsty for power and fortune. Therefore, due to vested interests, these writers fabricated stories accusing Richard of guilt. As such, it is not guaranteed that their views are reliable.
Lastly, the third supporting reason – physical evidence in the form of two skeletons found where Richard had housed his nephews – faces opposition from the lecturer. The lecturer accentuates inconsistencies and challenges this point by emphasizing that these skeletons found at the Tower of London may not belong to Richard III's nephews. Given their small size and lack of definitive features, it is impossible to establish their age or even determine whether they are male or female. Furthermore, considering many children died in London during that time period; these remains could belong to any number of unrelated individuals. (290 words)
