Burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas and oil) for energy purposes releases a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2)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 primarily talks about three challenges we face when it comes to storing CO2 underground. However, the listening puts forward solutions to overcome each obstacle. Firstly, the reading claims that it's not clear whether underground sites for storing CO2 have enough space. Conversely, the speaker refutes this point by stating that under high pressure and temperature can gas turn into supercriticial liquid, a more compressed state. In this way, CO2, normally gas, can be converted into supercriticial liquid, which takes up less space. Hence, this approach can decrease the space we need to store CO2. Secondly, the reading asserts that it poses risks on human health since high concentration of CO2 is significantly unsafe if CO2 is leaked. In contrast, the speaker finds a method to address this concern. Based on reasearch, only CO2 close to the underground has the possibilty of leaking. Only people breathe air close to the ground will be affected, like sleeping on the ground when hiking. Even if people sleep on the ground, we can utilize a monitoring device to alert people when CO2 is leaked. Finally, the reading posits that creating technology and inventing infrastructure for capturing, transporting and storing CO2 is at high costs. Nevertheless, the speaker believes that costs can be offset by financial benefits. To state it more clearly, storage sites are deep underground layers of rock, which contains methane, a kind of valuable fuel. When CO2 is injected into these rocks, methane will be released. As a reslut, we can collect and sold methane, and the money we gain can partly make up for the high cost. In summary, each challenge for storing CO2 undergound made in the the reading passage is effectively addressed by the listening.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
The reading primarily discusses three challenges associated with storing CO2 underground. However, the listening offers solutions to overcome each obstacle.
Firstly, the reading claims that it is unclear whether underground sites for storing CO2 have sufficient space. In contrast, the speaker refutes this point by stating that under high pressure and temperature, CO2 can be transformed into a supercritical fluid, which is more compressed than its gaseous state. By converting CO2 into a supercritical fluid, less storage space is required.
Secondly, the reading asserts that leaked CO2 poses risks to human health due to its high concentration. The speaker counters this concern by referencing research that shows leaked CO2 usually stays close to the ground, only affecting those who breathe air near the ground (e.g., while sleeping during camping). To mitigate this risk, monitoring devices can be installed near storage sites to alert people when leaks occur.
Finally, the reading posits that developing technology and infrastructure for capturing, transporting, and storing CO2 comes at a high cost. Nevertheless, the speaker believes these costs can be offset by financial benefits. Specifically, storage sites are often located in deep underground layers of rock containing methane—a valuable fuel source. When CO2 is injected into these rocks, methane is released and can be collected and sold. Profits from selling methane can partially compensate for the high costs of carbon dioxide storage.
In summary, each challenge regarding underground CO2 storage presented in the reading passage is effectively addressed by solutions proposed in the listening segment. (253 words)
