B
Almost 200 countries met for two weeks in Copenhagen, Denmark at a United Nations conference on climate change. It was due to conclude a deal designed to set a carbon cutting framework to cover 2012-2050. In the end, only five of them reached an agreement: the United States, China, India, Brazil and South Africa.
President Obama praised the agreement last Friday. He said, “Many people are disappointed in the agreement, but the compromise is better than nothing.”
The voluntary agreement, known as the Copenhagen Accord, urges major polluters to make deeper cuts in the emission(排放) of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide, are partly created by burning oil and coal for transportation and electricity.
The agreement sets targets to prevent the Earth’s average temperature from rising more than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. And the plan calls for 100 billion dollars a year in aid to poor nations to deal with climate change. This would start in 2020.
But the agreement is not legally binding(约束). It fails to set detailed targets for cuts in carbon emissions. And it failed to earn the support of all the nations at the talks.
India’s environment minister praised the united position taken by India, China, Brazil and South Africa. He said it permitted them to avoid the legally binding targets and international supervision proposed by developed countries.
India has promised to cut emissions by at least twenty percent but they say rich nations created the problem, so they should take most of the responsibility for reducing greenhouse gases.
China rejected accusations that it was responsible for the results at Copenhagen. A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said developed countries didn’t perform well at the talks. She said China has taken its own measures to fight climate change and supports pressing ahead with international cooperation.
China and other large developing countries have accused rich nations of failing to offer big enough cuts in their own emissions. They also say wealthy nations did not offer enough money and technology to help poor countries deal with climate change.
In Europe, politicians and environmentalists expressed deep disappointment that world leaders failed to reach a stronger agreement. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says the Copenhagen Accord is only a beginning, and that he will work with world leaders to reach a legally binding treaty(条约) in the coming months.
46. What’s the main purpose of the Copenhagen conference?
A. To sign the Copenhagen Accord.
B. To reach a legally binding agreement on cutting carbon emissions.
C. To discuss measures of controlling the world climate change.
D. To prevent the Earth’s average temperature from rising.
47. Which is true about the agreement, the Copenhagen Accord?
A. It will collect $ 100 billion to help poor countries to deal with climate change.
B. It has earned the support of all the nations at the conference.
C. It has set detailed targets for big enough cuts in carbon emissions.
D. It is far from a satisfactory agreement, which should be legally binding.
48. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. the Copenhagen conference has achieved most of its designed goals
B. a stronger agreement with legal effect will soon be reached
C. big differences still remain between developing and developed countries.
D. developed countries won’t make cuts in the emission of greenhouse gases
49. Which of the following is NOT China’s attitude towards the issue of climate change?
A. China should be responsible for the result of the world climate change.
B. Rich countries should offer more money to help poor ones deal with climate change.

D. Major polluters should make deeper cuts in the emission of greenhouse gases.

A. there is still a long way to go
B. there is little hope to realize the goal
C. too little is achieved at this conference
D. he is disappointed with the world leaders

For the tenth and last time as Secretary General, I offer friends and colleagues around
the world my best wishes on United Nations Day. I have spent almost all my whole
professional life working for the United Nations-sothisday , andthevaluesthatstand for ,
willal-ways be special for me.
Over the past ten years, we have made some big steps forward in our common struggle
for development, security and human rights. Aid and debt relief have increased , making
the world economy somewhat fairer. At last, the world is increasing its response to
HIV/AIDS. There are fewer wars between States than there used to be , and manycivil
warshaveended. Moregovernments are elected by, and accountable to the people
whom they govern. And all States have acknowledged, at least in words, their
responsibility to protect people from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and
crimes against humanity.
But there is so much that still needs doing.
The gap between rich and poor continues to grow.
Thenuclearnon-proliferationregime (核不扩散机制) requires urgent attention.
Terrorism and the reaction to it are spreading fear and suspicion. It seems we don't
even agree which threats are most important. Those who live in small islands may
see global warming as the biggest danger. Those who live in a city that has suffered
terrorist attacks-likeNewYork , orMumbai, orIstanbul-may feel that confronting
terrorism is more urgent. Othersagainmaycitepoverty , disease , orgenocide. The
truth is , there are all global threats. All of us should be concerned about all of them.
Otherwise ,we may not succeed in dealing with any of them.
At this time of all times. We cannot afford to be divided. I know that you, the people
of the world, understand this. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have
given me, throughout these ten difficult but exciting years.
Please urge your leaders to work with my successor, and make the United Nations
ever stronger and more affective.
Long live our planet, and its peoples!Long live the United Nations!
