解析：

(1)	从第一段第三句话In Australia floods have covered an area the…可以得出此题的正确选项．
(2)	the size of…是倍数的表达方式．
(3)	固定搭配pump into意思是“排出”．
(4)	固定搭配heat up意思是“使……变暖”．
(5)	由于大气变暖，所以引起了两极冰川融化．
(6)	冰川融化引起了海平面上升．
(7)	二氧化碳是物质名词，不可数，所以用the amount of．
(8)	十年以前是一个表示过去某一具体时间状语．
(9)	此句中lie是“位于”的意思．
(10)	poverty stricken意思是“极度贫困的”．
(11)	后半句的“have an extra source of income”说明这个村子现在不那么贫困了，所以需要一个表示转折的词．
(12)	从上下文可以看出村民们植树造林不是义务的而是有偿劳动．
(13)	从上下文可以看出村民们不仅植树还要护理树林．
(14)	固定搭配in charge of意思是“负责……”．
(15)	provide sb．with sth．意思是“提供……给……”．
(16)	wipe out意思是“勾销”，从文中可以看出一级方程式赛车给本地区带来了严重的污染，所以通过给村民提供一些植树造林的报酬也算是抵消了他们所欠的一切．
(17)	the same as 意思是“与此相同的”．
(18)	从上下文可以看出此项项目的出发点是购买向自然界排放二氧化碳的权力．
(19)	此处right意思是“权力”．
(20)	此处green projects意指“树林”．
