试题分析：随着对气候变化意识的提高，中国人越来越关心低碳的生活模式。减少二氧化氮的排放势不可挡。

1. 考查冠词用法。此处泛指在北京中心商业区的一家办公室工作，office的第一个读音是元音音素，故填an.

2.it 考查固定句型。It takes sb some time to do sth.“花费某人一段时间做某事”。故填it。

3. 考查词性变化。think of后应用动名词。故填switching。

4. 考查状语从句的连接词。根据句意，此处表达的是因果关系，从句说的是原因，故填because。

5. 考查动词短语。固定短语make contributions to“为…做贡献，导致，促成”。故填to。

6. 考查从句。shows后接宾语从句，而本从句中不缺成分，故填that。

7. 考查词性变化。句意：在许多流行的社交网站上，人们正倡导低碳生活方式。修饰名词应用形容词，故填social。

9. become 考查时态。They hope后应用将来时，故填will become。
