The negotiations are deadlocked (陷入僵局)over demands by poorer nations for financial help in coping with climate change.
United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on delegates at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to speed up their work on an agreement to address a warming planet.
“Let us be under no illusion(幻想), this is a crisis, a threat to us all, our economies, our security and the well-being of our children and those who will come after," he said. "No one is immune to climate change, rich or poor.”
Delegates from nearly 200 countries --- rich and poor --- are in Doha to extend the Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 global climate change agreement that expires (到期)at the end of this month, and to begin to forge a new agreement to replace it.
Two issues block the way forward. Developing countries are demanding that industrialized nations fulfill their pledges(保证)under Kyoto to reduce their climate-changing industrial emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and to put new, larger emission curbs on the table.
The developing nations, led by China, are also insisting that rich nations provide more aid to poorer countries to help them cope with the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and more violent storms.
In Doha Wednesday, Tim Gore, a climate change policy advisor for Oxfam International, a confederation of groups working on social justice issues, applauded efforts by England, Germany and Sweden to increase their climate aid and expects other nations to follow.
“Those announcements are truly welcome. And they shine a spotlight on those that have remained silent: the U.S., Canada, Japan, even Australia," Gore said. "But we need to be very clear as well that those types of announcements made in press conferences can be no substitute for clear commitments in the text that poor countries have come here to negotiate.”
小题1:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.China plays an important role in The United Nations climate talks in Doha, Qatar. |
B.The United Nations climate talks in Doha, Qatar, continued into their second week, Wednesday. |
C.Developing countries want rich nations to pay for climate change. |
D.Ban Ki-moon called on delegates at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to speed up their work on an agreement to address a warming planet. |

B.There is no hope to deal with the problem. |
C.Illusion(幻想)is a crisis, a threat to us all. |
D.Ban Ki-moon called on delegates to cope with a warming planet. |
A.put aside | B.deal with | C.call off | D.work out |

答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:D
小题4:B
解析
试题分析:本文主要讲述的是在哥本哈根气候大会上出现的不同声音,发展中国家要求发达国家在环境保护方面承担更大的责任,但是发达国家并没有完全尽自己的责任。由于这个原因而导致本次会议陷入僵局。
小题1:C 主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第三段The developing nations, led by China, are also insisting that rich nations provide more aid to poorer countries to help them cope with the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and more violent storms.可知发展中国家要求发达国家在保护环境方面提供更多的援助。而发达国家不同意而导致哥本哈根气候大会无法进行。故C正确。
小题2:A 推理题。根据第4段“Let us be under no illusion(幻想), this is a crisis, a threat to us all, our economies, our security and the well-being of our children and those who will come after," he said. "No one is immune to climate change, rich or poor.”可知潘基文请求大家放弃幻想,共同努力来对付环境问题,因为环境问题影响我们所有人。故A正确。
小题3:D 推理题。根据Delegates from nearly 200 countries --- rich and poor --- are in Doha to extend the Kyoto Protocol, the 1997 global climate change agreement that expires (到期)at the end of this month, and to begin to forge a new agreement to replace it可知1997年的京都环境大会上的协议已经到期了,所以要在哥本哈根会议上制定出一个新的协议来代替原来的协议。故该词是指work out。故D正确。
小题4:B 推理题。根据文章最后一段“Those announcements are truly welcome. And they shine a spotlight on those that have remained silent: the U.S., Canada, Japan, even Australia," Gore said.可知美国,加拿大,日本以及澳大利亚都没有履行自己的责任,也就是说不说所有的发达国家都尽了自己的责任。故B项说法是错误的。

Cai, a senior majoring in electrical engineering at Huan Railway Professional Technology College, originally planned to cycle from Sichuan to Tibet. During his journey, Cai’s idea for a different graduation gift to himself began to take shape. “I did not know beforehand what the journey would mean to me. I just want to gain a unique experience and have pleasure in appreciating the view there,” he said.
It turned out cycling on a plateau was extremely challenging. And it has kept changing his outlook on life. Cai’s fingers even became frostbitten while cycling up a 5008-meter-high mountain, where temperatures often dropped to 18 below zero. At night, the ice covered the road and he fell off his bike three times. The lack of oxygen made him feel dizzy and weak. “At the most serious moment, I felt that my life was on the line,” said Cai.
However, he also gained something unexpected. At Ya’an, a city in Sichuan, he met a group of tourists who are also university students. A girl called Wu Ling told him that she planned to work as a teacher in a primary school in Tibet after her journey. He was impressed by the idea as she looked slender and weak.
It was not until he reached a family-run hotel in Shigatse that Cai’s spirits began to rise. The hotel manager’s two daughters enjoyed talking with him. The kids asked about his experiences on his trip, and showed him the beautiful local lakes. “They told me that they always liked to talk to guests, as they wanted to improve their Mandarin,” he said, “Their parents and many locals can only speak Tibetan.”
Cai was touched by the girls’ story. Their situation is tough and the local people have little chance to learn Mandarin because the schools are short of teachers. “I want to do something to improve the situation for kids like them,” said Cai. His parents finally gave their agreement and his teachers also supported him.

D.encourage us to be a teacher in Tibet |
A.He met Wu Ling and was impressed by her plan. |
B.His parents and teachers persuaded him to go to Tibet. |
C.He was moved by the kid’s desire to improve their Mandarin. |
D.A lack of teachers makes the local people have little chance to learn. |
As more women flock to Hong Kong to give birth to their second child,Zhang Feng,family planning department director of Guangdong Province,stressed that this violated China"s policies.
“And those who are government employees will even be dismissed from their posts.”he said.
“It doesn’t matter if they give birth to their second child on the mainland or in other countries and regions , they have violated the country’s policies and the probince’s regulations”.
He said that some families had been punished in the past few months after having a second in Hong Kong , but gave no details .

The issue also has caused calls for an amendment(修正)to Hong Kong"s Basic Law so that babies born to mainland women are no longer granted permanent fight of abode.
“I support Hong Kong government"s decision to reduce or limit the number for mainland women giving birth in Hong Kong.”Zhang said.

Professor Rongjia Tao of Temple University, Philadelphia unveiled a proposal this week calling for the construction of three 1,000-foot barriers up to 100 miles long, which would act like hill ranges and soften winds before tornadoes could form, the BBC reports.
The $16.9 billion plan would call for the faux hill ranges in North Dakota, along the border between Kansas and Oklahoma, and in Texas and Louisiana, ostensibly saving billions of dollars in damage every year, Tao said. The walls would not shelter towns, he said, but instead would soften the streams of hot southern and cold northern air that form tornadoes when they clash in the first place.
But critics laughed at Tao’s proposals. Leading tornado experts pointed to areas that are already protected by hill ranges the size of the barriers Tao is proposing, yet still have plenty of tornados, like parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri. And even if the plan did work, it would create more problems than it would solve, scientists said, by creating catastrophic weather side effects.
“Everybody I know is of 100% agreement – this is a poorly conceived idea,” Professor Joshua Wurman of the Center for Severe Weather Research. “From what I can gather his concept of how tornadoes form is fundamentally flawed(有缺陷的). Meteorologists(气象学家) cringe(尴尬) when they hear about ‘clashing(交锋) hot and cold air’. It’s a lot more complicated than that.”
小题1:What does the underlined word “unveiled”mean in the fourth paragraph?
A.reminded | B.came up with | C.referred | D.applied |
A.The different opinions on the proposal that the walls will reduce the loss caused by tornadoes. |
B.How to solve the problems that are caused by tornadoes. |
C.The proposal mentioned in the paragragh is totally wrong. |
D.The proposal to reduce tornadoes is effective. |
A.the tornadoes form by clashing(交锋) hot and cold air. |
B.if the walls are built, they will work well. |
C.if the plan is carried out, we will have more problems than expected. |
D.The walls not only soften the winds but also shelter the towns. |
A.Leading tornado experts think that would soften the streams of hot southern and cold northern air that form tornadoes. |
B.Professor Joshua Wurman pointed out that the plan will be expensive. |
C.Professor Rongjia Tao is against the construction of walls to prevent the tornadoes. |
D.the plan will not be carried out because it will creating serious weather side effects. |
The 48-year-old policeman intervened to stop the butchering of unarmed civilians, saving many from death and injury, but he was injured in the process.
Lying in a hospital bed, his head and nose marked by serious hacking wounds - one more than 20 centimeters long - Xie recounted(详细叙述) his actions on the day he describes as a nightmare.
"I shot at them but fell to the ground during the fighting. After the shots, the terrorists turned their attention to the police and several of them surrounded me and stabbed me like crazy," he said. "There is no humanity in them."
Xie is from the Beijinglu Police Station, the closest to the attack, and four police officers from the station were the first to respond. He survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest, which was damaged by the attackers.
When the officers arrived, the attackers were running out of the ticket hall, attacking people with long knives.
Xie and his colleagues tried to stop the attack, which is when Xie was injured. In addition to the deep cuts, his skull was fractured, and at the time of writing he was awaiting further surgery.
"A wave of fierce anger rose up in my mind, and we all forgot to think about the possible danger to us," said Hu Zhe, 23, a police officer trainee at the Beijinglu Police Station.
Having no firearm, he fought the terrorists with a wooden baton, but it got broken in the fighting. He sustained a 6-centimeter wound to his left eyebrow.
Wan Weiqing, a neurosurgeon from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, learned of the attack at 2 am on Sunday and took the first flight to Kunming, where he has been helping the victims.
He said that 71 victims are being treated at the Kunming First People"s Hospital, most of them with severe multiple injuries.
"There is one victim whose rib, breastbone, lung and even heart were all injured in one chopping action. The attackers had obviously prepared and practiced for a long time," he said.
Zhou Hongmei, director of the Medical Reform Office at the Yunnan Health Department, said a team of medical experts including 29 doctors had arrived in Kunming by Monday night. They have been working at the five hospitals treating victims of the attack.
Chen Min, a Neurology Department nurse at Kunming First People"s Hospital, said the department usually had seven nurses in the daytime and three at night. "But all the other nurses who were not on duty returned to the hospital voluntarily on Saturday night," she said.
In the past three days, none of them had more than 10 hours of rest.
"The crucial factor in saving lives in such incidents is treatment without delay," said Chai Wenzhao, associate director of the Intensive Care Unit in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Chai has participated in many emergency rescue efforts.
He said that the victims will need psychological counseling once their physical injuries have been dealt with, because the emotional impact of such an incident can be severe.
Four psychologists from Anding Hospital in Beijing have begun treating some of the victims.
