Ⅲ 六篇英語閱讀理解
Unit 8 生態環境類
Passage 1
Green peace has identified global climate change as one of the greatest threats to the planet. Governments and scientists alike have agreed that the problem is real and serious.
Last year at the climate summit in Kyoto, instrialized countries agreed, at least on paper, to rece the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases they pump into the atmosphere. But crucial details, upon which the success or failure of the agreement rests, are still under negotiation, and in the meantime little real action is being taken to address the problem.
Greenpeace is therefore campaigning for governments to face up to their responsibilities and urgently address this problem. The longer action is delayed, the more drastic it will need to be in order to avoid dangerous interference with the planet』s climate from the so-called greenhouse gases.
Governments should be leading the way to a fundamentally new energy direction based on clean renewable energy, like wind or solar power. But at present many governments instead use taxpayers』 money to support the agenda of the companies, which continue to spend billions of dollars on development of coal, oil or gas—the climate-damaging fossil fuels.
Scientists estimate that we can only afford to release a limited amount of carbon into the atmosphere, otherwise, we pass the 「safe」 limits of climate change. It is at this point that climate change happens so last that ecosystems are unable to adapt. Greenpeace believes that a temperature increase of 1℃ is the absolute maximum that should be at-lowed. The amount of carbon that we can release to keep within these limits can be calculated and is in the range of 112.5 to 337.5 billion tons of carbon over the next 100 years.
But instry already has around four times this amount of carbon—over one thousand billion tons—in existing reserves of oil, coal and gas. This means that three quarters of the oil, coal and gas already found cannot be burned if we want to avoid dangerous climate change. If we continue burning fossil fuels at present levels, the 「safe」 limit of 1℃will be reached in just 40 years. That is why we have to start recing carbon dioxide emissions immediately and prepare for an orderly phase out of fossil fuels. Greenpeace calls this the 「carbon logic」.
The oil companies alone have already found enough oil to cause dangerous climate Change. Yet they continue to look for more. And of course once they have invested in finding the oil, they will not be prepared to give up their right to pump it out and sell it. The effects on the climate could be catastrophic.
1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Both governments and scientists have realized that global climate change is one of the
greatest threats to the planet.
B. At the climate summit in Kyoto, many countries planned to protect the atmosphere.
C. The atmosphere protection is still in the air.
D. Instrialized countries have reced the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouses they pump into the atmosphere.
2. According to the author, governments should_______.
A. support the companies to continue their development of coal, oil or gas
B. advocate the use of clean renewable energy like wind of solar power
C.not waste taxpayers』 money to develop new energy
D.prohibit the further exploration of the fossil fuels, only allowing the companies to burn the existing reserves already found
3. A suitable title for the passage is________.
A. Green peace』s International Campaign to Save the Climate
B. The Carbon Logic
C. Climate Change
D. Fossil Fuels
4. The author has a(n)________attitude towards our climate.
A. worried B. critical C. negative D. objective
5. What does the word 「catastrophic」 in Line 4 of the last paragraph mean?
A. far-reaching B. irresponsible
C. disastrous D. irrespective
【答案與解析】
1.D 本文第一段講到,綠色和平組織認為全球氣候變化是對地球的最大威脅之一,政府和科學家都已認識到這一問題非常嚴重。去年在京都的最高級會議上,發達國家至少在書面上都同意減少二氧化碳和其他引起溫室效應的氣體在大氣中的排放量,可是涉及這一協議成敗的關鍵細節仍在談判中,同時未見解決這一問題的具體行動。由此可見,A、B、C正確,D不正確。
2.B 第三段第一句話說,政府應該帶頭使用全新的能源,如風能、太陽能這些清潔、可再利用的能源。故本題選B。
3.A 全文主要講了綠色和平組織對全球氣候變化的擔憂,以及呼籲政府承擔起自己的責任,立即解決這一問題。因此文章標題應為A。
Ⅳ 英語閱讀.!急用.!
請記住全球變暖?早在12月,氣候變化的威脅是雷鳴般的和富有的國家同意削減其二氧化碳和其他溫室有關的排放量。自那時以來,興趣明顯降溫,和許多歐洲國家已經在運行遠離作出的承諾,使他們大聲幾個月前。但是,有很多說話,和一些行動,以鼓勵可再生能源,例如風能,水能,太陽能和所有活的生物體。沒有這些排放溫室氣體,但往往成本將超過煤炭,石油或天然氣。
更好,更簡單的想法是要記住,最簡單的方法,以減少東西是要稅,在這種情況下,由征稅的碳含量權力。在骯臟的權力,更多的稅款,該公司將支付。因此,骯臟的煤炭將更加昂貴比清潔煤,這將看到它的價格上升有關的石油,這將是更昂貴的天然氣相比,它就會失去它的一些價格優勢,可再生能源。
除非碳稅是如此巨大,以在經濟癱瘓,它不會刪除的價格差距所有可再生能源和化石燃料。但是,如果縮小這一差距,制訂不同的環境成本納入價格-一個有用的原則本身。它還將提供可再生能源生產者強烈的動機,以降低成本,和化石燃料供應商的動機清潔他們的產品。
先例強烈建議,碳稅將是有效的。但是,不利碳稅是政治問題。經過近十年的努力,歐洲聯盟放棄了企圖在歐洲碳稅去年。德國執政聯盟是反對擬議的能源稅。在美國,政治家認為,即使提的概念是某些死亡。但是,許多政治上的反對可由如果碳稅作了後續的損失在其他地方,比如通過降低工資或銷售稅。總是有懷疑時,政府想出聰明的新途徑,稅,這樣做是正確的。在針對這一懷疑應該贏得的論點,而不是放棄它。
Ⅳ 求一篇5分鍾的英語演講稿,題目關於《Climate change》
Our world is rapidly changing. Technology and economic
development are perhaps the two most visible factors causing
this . In Chongqing we drive across the new bridges linking
formerly distant locations. We use electronic gadgets that
allow us to perform tasks quicker and more efficiently than
ever before. Who would have imagined communicating via
a blog just a few years ago? However, the impact of technology
and development on our lives is increasingly being overshadowed
by something that is in some ways harder to pin down but
whose enormous impact is undeniable – climate change.
當今世界日新月異,這一切恐怕要歸功於兩大因素:科技進步和經濟發展。在兩江環抱的重慶,一座座大橋飛架南北,那些曾經為滔滔巨浪相隔的飛地,如今近在咫尺。而電子設備又更如虎添翼,使我們達到了前所未有的速度和效率。僅僅數年以前,誰能想像區區博客就可以實現溝通交流?但是,科技進步和經濟發展對生活的作用,正因某些雖無法准確結論但其巨大影響卻不容置疑的現象而不再那麼理直氣壯,這便是氣候變化。
Climate change is truly a global issue that impacts on all
indivials regardless of nationality, gender or wealth. It is
shaping our world in ways we sometimes struggle to understand.
In terms of our daily lives, it can seem hard to identify what
changes result from climate change and as a result it is
sometimes ignored. However, in terms of our planet』s 「life
cycle」 it is happening extremely quickly. Arctic ice and
glaciers are melting, desertification is speeding up and
major floods are increasingly impacting on people in low-lying
areas.
氣候變化是一個真正的全球性問題,對每個人,不論他來自哪個國家,是男還是女,是貧還是富,都有著巨大的影響。氣候變化正以某些我們很難理解的方式改變著世界。人們在日常生活中很難發現氣候變化的足跡,因而人們又會忽略變化的痕跡。但是,對於我們星球的「生命」來說,變化卻似白駒過隙。北極冰和冰川正在融化,沙漠化越來越快,巨大洪災正日益影響著低窪地區的人們。
Climate change is already impacting on our planet and
will increasingly affect our behaviour. Around the world
people are beginning to look to make 「greener」 choices
in their everyday lives. They are attempting to rece
their 「carbon footprint」 by travelling in more sustainable
ways [given China』s size, increasing middle class and
rising wealth, is this the right argument?], recing the
amount of food waste they proce and purchasing more
energy-efficient goods and services. Even our languages
are being shaped by climate change! Who had even
heard of a 「carbon footprint」 until relatively recently?
氣候變化已經在影響著我們的星球,並且將會逐漸影響我們的行為。全球人民都開始追求更加「綠色」的生活。他們嘗試以更加可持續的方式出行,以減少「碳足跡」[考慮到中國的巨大規模和越來越多的中產階層人群和財富,這是不是也一樣呢?];減少食物浪費,購買更加節能的商品和服務。氣候變化甚至在形成我們的語言!誰不是在最近才聽說到「碳足跡」這幾個字呢?
Given the importance of climate change, I am delighted
to be launching this blog. It reflects the importance that
Chongqing attaches to this issue. It also reflects the
importance attached to climate change by the UK
Government and the British Consulate General. Our two
Governments are engaged in wide-ranging activities
in Chongqing and SW China to address the challenges
posed by climate change – too many to list on this
blog! Major activities have included seminars on
changing policies to rece carbon emissions; examining
「green」 building techniques; and visits to the UK
by officials from SW China to examine solar power
technology. Chongqing』s 「Car Free Day」 at the same
time as over 100 other Chinese cities was an
excellent example of an activity that promoted a
low carbon lifestyle.
氣候變化情系萬家,我臨危受命開博客。這反映了重慶對這一問題的高度重視,也反映了英國政府和英國駐重慶總領事館對氣候變化的高度重視。中英兩國政府在重慶和中國西南地區開展了一系列活動,以解決氣候變化帶來的挑戰:包括為了降低碳排放的政策變化研討會,考察「綠色」建築技術,以及中國西南地區官員訪問英國考察太陽能技術等等——活動太多請恕我無法一一羅列!重慶與中國其他100多個城市共同推行的「無車日」活動就是倡導低碳生活的最好例子。
The UK is keen to continue this work and develop
even closer links with Chongqing. There is much we can
learn from each other. The lessons we both learn in
dealing with our local problems undoubtedly contribute
to body of knowledge on how to tackle this global
challenge. I very much hope this blog will play its part
in raising awareness and generating debate. I hope it
will spark creative ideas and will act as a catalyst for
change. To bring about this change we need to make
personal choices, and in writing this blog today I have
made a new choice. I have decided to ensure that I
will increasingly walk to my appointments in the Jiefang
Bei district in order to rece my carbon footprint. On
my own my efforts will make only a small difference,
but by acting together we really can make a change.
What can you do differently?
英國非常願意繼續這方面的工作並與重慶建立更加緊密的聯系。雙方之間都有很多可以相互學習借鑒的地方。在如何處理這個全球挑戰上,英國自己的一些經驗教訓無疑為我們年積累了寶貴的知識。我很希望這個博客能夠幫助啟發人們對這一問題的關注和討論。希望它點燃創意的種子,成為變革的催化劑。變革需要從我做起,今天我寫這篇博客時,就已經作了一個新的選擇。我已經決定,為了減少我的碳足跡,我將盡量步行去解放碑上班。一個人的努力只是滄海一粟,但是大家的貢獻將使滄海變桑田。您說呢?
Ⅵ 2019年高考英語北京卷 - 閱讀理解D
By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.
根據一項新的研究,到本世紀末,如果沒有更早的話,由於氣候變暖,世界海洋將變得更藍更綠。
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas,while recing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.
這種現象的核心是被稱為浮游植物的海洋微生物。由於光從生物體反射的方式,這些浮游植物在海洋表面形成了五顏六色的圖案。海洋的顏色從綠色到藍色不等,這取決於浮游植物的種類和濃度。氣候變化將在某些地區助長浮游植物的生長,而在其他地區則會相反,這導致了海洋外觀的變化。
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.
浮游植物生活在海洋表面,在那裡它們將二氧化碳吸入海洋,同時釋放氧氣。當這些生物死亡時,碳就會埋在深海中,這是一個有助於調節全球氣候的重要過程。但浮游植物很容易受到海洋變暖趨勢的影響。變暖改變了海洋的主要特徵,並可能影響浮游植物的生長,因為它們的生長不僅需要陽光和二氧化碳,還需要營養物質。
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener. 「Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. 」she said,「but the type of phytoplankton is changing. 」
麻省理工學院全球變化科學中心的科學家斯蒂芬妮·杜特凱維奇建立了一個氣候模型,預測整個世紀海洋的變化。在一個溫度升高3℃的世界裡,會發現海洋的顏色發生多重變化。該模型預測,目前幾乎沒有浮游植物的藍色區域可能會變得更藍。但在一些水域,如北極水域,變暖將使浮游植物生長條件更加成熟,這些地區將變得更加綠色。」不只是海洋中浮游植物的數量在變化,」她說,「浮游植物的種類也正在改變。」
Ⅶ 請再幫我翻譯一段短文(手抄報急需)
在中國有很多不同類型的氣候,在南方,夏天和冬天的氣候變化不大。但是在中部及北部氣候卻截然不同,在這些農村人們夏天穿著很少的衣物,但是到了冬天卻需要穿皮毛做的衣服
在西南地區,冬天又宜人的氣候,但在夏天,卻熱的令人受不了。
在東部夏天的氣溫與冬天的氣溫非常迥異,通常夏天非常炎熱,冬天非常寒冷,春天溫暖宜人,並且秋季涼爽愜意。
多年前,寒冷地區的人民在冬天得不到新鮮的蔬菜水果。然而現在,卡車和火車可以把蔬菜水果快捷地運送到中國的各個角落。像這樣,中國人把他們的氣候帶給其他國家的人民。
