Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良) and heat-related health problems.

But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.

Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.

Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost (极度的) attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”

However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.

In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability(弱点) to climate hazards(危害)while still curbing (限制) the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.

1.What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

2.  What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?

3. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?

4.  What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?

5.  What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

As many as 60,000 people worldwide die each year from too much sun, but simple safety steps could prevent many deaths, according to a World Health Organization report.

The report, released on Wednesday, was treated as the first overall look at the global health burden from UV radiation, which is linked to up to 90 percent of melanoma（恶性黑色素瘤） and other skin cancers. UV radiation can also cause sunburn, more rapid skin aging, eye diseases, and reactivation of the herpes（疱疹） virus that causes cold sores, and pterygium, a fleshy growth on the surface of the eye.

“We all need some sun, but too much sun can be dangerous—and even deadly,” said Dr Maria Neira, the director of WHO’s agency of public health and the environment, who released the report.

To prevent cancer and other diseases linked to UV radiation, the agency recommends that people:

— Limit time in the midday sun.

— Use shade wisely and seek shade when UV rays are most intense.

— Wear protective clothing, hats and sunglasses.

— Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor 15+.

— Avoid sunlamps and tanning parlours.

People under age 18 should not use them at all.

“The application of sunscreens should not be used to prolong sun exposure but rather to protect the skin when exposure is unavoidable,” the report warned.

The report also noted that the ground’s surface can make a difference:

— Fresh snow reflects as much as 80 percent of ultraviolet light.

— Sea foam reflects about 25 percent.

— Dry beach sand reflects about 15 percent.

Small amounts of exposure to the sun help the skin to produce vitamin D.

48. The report was highly spoken of mainly because ____.

A. it had listed up to 60,000 deaths from UV radiation

B. it related the deaths to UV radiation

C. it showed the advantages and disadvantages of UV

D. it found out the approaches to preventing deaths from UV radiation

49. According to Dr Maria Neira, which of the following is TRUE?

A. In fact we need only a small amount of sunlight.

B. Receiving large amounts of sunlight will cause deaths.

C. Midday sunlight has stronger UV radiation.

D. Melanoma will disappear if we follow the report’s advice.

50. As a construction worker, it is strongly recommended that ____.

A. he should stay inside the building                 B. he spread sunscreen on the face

C. he should wear good sunglasses                           D. he be equipped with sun protection

51. Which of the following can be the headline of the passage?

A. UV—A Deadly Killer From The Sun               B. Melanoma Can Be Prevented Today

C. UV—A Great Need For Vitamin D                   D. Teenagers Mustn’t Stay Outside

For humans, climbing Mount Qomolangma is seen as a great impressive achievement. People make movies, write books, and have essentially developed a whole industry surrounding the challenge that is this mountain. While we consider climbing the mountain as an athletic achievement, there is one animal, the bar-headed goose, does not think so.

As the species migrates (迁徙) from Central Asia to Southeast Asia every autumn, it must cross over the Himalayan range. These mountains force the bar-headed goose to fly at around 30,000 feet above sea level, which is the highest altitude for migratory birds.

These geese have special adaptions that allow them to survive at the altitude. For example, a special protein (蛋白质) in blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body allows their blood cells to combine with oxygen. Their circulatory system provides a constant supply of fresh, oxygenated blood to their wing muscles (肌肉). They have much larger lungs than other birds, which give them the ability to take in more air.

Scientists initially believe that the geese flow at an extremely high altitude for the full length of their migration. But later the data suggests that the birds use a much more effective way of travel. Instead of remaining at an extremely high altitude to fly over the mountain range, the geese hug the mountains, flying up and down depending on the obstacles (障碍物) in their way. This works better for them because they don’t have to use all their energy flying in an area with low oxygen; they can spend time flying at lower altitudes.

The geese also make use of nature to make this work easier. To fly down, they simply allow gravity to pull them. To fly back up, they make use of orographic (地形的) lift, which happens when flowing air meets an obstacle, such as a mountain. The mountain forces the air up, creating an upward draft. The birds take advantage of this draft, expending less of their own energy to fly up the mountain.

The way these birds have adapted to flying across the Asian continent during their annual migration is certainly an amazing way to see nature at work.

1.What does the underlined part "this work” in Paragraph 5 most probably refer to?

A. To fly down.　　 B. To fly back up.

C. To fly over the mountain.　　 D. To fly at lower altitudes.

2.How do the geese behave while crossing over the Himalayan range?

A. By flowing at an extremely high altitude all the way.

B. By taking advantage of the orographic lift.

C. By smoothing the obstacles in their way.

D. By forcing the air up, creating an upward draft.

3.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. The geese’s amazing migration.

B. The highest flying record of geese.

C. The flying mystery of geese.

D. Mount Qomolangma and its geese.
