For almost two centuries now, scientists have noticed a place’s suicide rate bears troubling links to the changing of the seasons and the friendliness of its climate.
In 1881, the Italian physician Enrico Morselli noted that
suicide rates peak in the summer
, deeming the effect "too great for it to be attributed to chance of the human will". Two decades later, the French sociologist Emile Durkheim noticed the same effect—though he also found the suicide rate was higher in Scandinavian countries.
Even today, CDC data confirms that suicides peak in the United States in the early summer. Now, scientists have identified one more way that climate shapes suicide—and, worryingly, they have projected that it will only become more pronounced as suicide rates rise in a rapidly warming world.
Unusually hot days cause the suicide rate to rise, according to a study published Monday in Nature Climate Change. If a month is 1 degree Celsius warmer than normal, then its suicide rate will increase by 0. 7 percent in the United States and 2. 1 percent in Mexico.
" It’s sort of a brutal finding," says Marshall Burke, a professor of earth science at Stanford University and one of the authors of the paper. The finding has anxious implications for a world whose climate is rapidly changing. The authors project that roughly 14,000 people—and as many as 26,000—could die by suicide in the United States by 2050 if humanity does not reduce its emissions of greenhouse-gas pollution.
It also concludes that humans can do little about this suicide-climate link beyond developing better medical care to address suicide specifically. The normal ways that people adapt to high temperatures generally—by installing air conditioners, for instance—do not seem to affect the suicide rate.
Suicide is the second most-common cause of death among Americans between 10 and 34 years of age. In other words, more people are dying by suicide than used to.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、Humans can do little about this suicide-climate link.
B、Humans can do a lot about this suicide-climate link.
C、Developing better medical care can address suicide.
D、Installing air conditioners cannot affect the suicide rate.
答案
B
解析
细节题。分析选项定位到第六段。第六段第一句提到:“除了发展更好的医疗服务以专门解决自杀问题之外,人类对这种自杀和气候之间的联系几乎毫无办法”。beyond表示“除了……以外”的意思,因此[A]“人类对这种自杀和气候之间的联系几乎毫无办法”意思正确;[B]“人类对这种自杀和气候之间的联系可以做很多”意思恰恰相反,错误;[C]“开展更好的医疗服务可以应对自杀现象”也正确;[D]“安装空调不能影响自杀率”也是本段后半部分的意思改写,也正确。因此错误的是[B],故选[B]。
