(2012·烟台二模)Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the effects of climate change? A British-made computer game on trial release on Monday creates different ways of doing just that.

Through different scenes, players can explore options such as geoengineering(地球工程) and alternative energy sources to save the planet from rising temperatures, decreasing natural resources and a growing population over the next 200 years.

An improved version of the game will be followed by a three-month feedback period from players, with final release due in February next year.

Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption, the game is different from other mainstream action games mainly by using data from real climate models and advice from scientists and economists.

“Science data is often inaccessible and we are trying to put players in a position of power and connected with the issues，” Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption's founder and chairman said.

This year, a series of apparent errors in climate science and the failure of UN talks to reach an international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions appeared to weaken the public's interest in climate change.

However, games centered on sustainability(持续性) and human rights have been growing in popularity and are welcomed by green groups as a way of raising awareness.

Using climate change as inspiration for entertainment shows the issue has affected global culture, which can only be a good thing. Friends of the Earth's head of climate Mike Childs said. “We need creative industries to work with these big issues as the results can be extremely powerful and can help us to understand what a sustainable future looks and feels like，” he added.

1．Fate of the World in the passage refers to ________. A．a book on computer games

3．It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A．games on sustainability and human rights are very popular among young players B．the game increases players' awareness of environmental protection C．only computer experts can play the new climate computer game

D．after a three-month feedback period from players, the new game is on sale now 4．Which of the following can the players not experience while playing the new game?

A．Challenging the climate change in an unreal world. B．Understanding what a sustainable future looks and feels like. C．Enjoying the power to decide the earth's fate. D．Predicting what will happen in 200 years.
