题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Health and climate scientists have mapped how climate change affects different parts of the world in different ways. The scientists point to the fact that changes in the past thirty years may, have been affecting human health. Possible effects include more deaths from extreme(极度的) heat or cold, more storms and more crop failures in dry periods.

The health and climate scientists recently estimated(估计) that climate changes caused by human activity lead to more than one hundred and fifty thousand deaths each year. Cases of sickness are estimated at five million. And the W.H.O. says the numbers could rise quickly by the year of 2003.

Jonathan Patz of an environmental institute led the study. Professor Patz points out that climate scientists connected global warming with the heat that killed thousands in Europe in August, 2003. But he says poor countries least responsible(对……负责) for the warming are most in danger from the health effects of higher temperatures.

Professor Patz says areas in greatest danger include southern and eastern Africa and coastlines along the Pacific and Indian oceans. Also, large cities experience what scientists call a "heat island"effect that can make conditions worse.

Representatives(代表) from about two hundred countries hold a meeting in Canada, to discuss climate change. The ten-day meeting ends on December 9th. It is the first such United Nations meeting since the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书) took effect earlier this year. The agreement aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) and other heat-trapping(吸热的) gases sent off into the air.

1.Who is Jonathan Patz?

A.A scientist responsible for the climate change.

B.A scientist in charge of the study of the climate change.

C.A professor interested in the climate change.

A.Climate changes affect different parts of the world in the same way.

B.The ten-day meeting is the first United Nations meeting on climate change.

C.The Kyoto Protocol aims to make smaller the amount of heat-trapping gases into the air.

D.Poor countries are responsible for the global warming.

3.Possible effects from the climate changes include the following EXCEPT ______.

A.crop failures

B.storms

C.more deaths from overheat

D.air pollution

4.According to the health and climate scientists, climate changes have been caused by ______.
