Good morning, I’m Pete Musto. Our topic today is on climate change and public health. Recent research findings reveal that the effects of climate change could threaten the past 50 years of gains in public health. Researchers say that the changes in Earth’s climate have led to weather extremes. The extremes can create public health risks that are dangerous and unacceptable. Researchers find that the changes have led to less rainfall, and this has been linked to a drop in agricultural productivity. The reduced productivity has led, in turn, to an increase in malnutrition, especially among children. Studies have also linked climate change to an increased possibility of flooding in some areas. Researchers find that floods are linked to a rise in the rates of infectious diseases and problems that result from a breakdown of waste treatment systems. Researchers also note that the world is getting hotter. In 2003, 70,000 people in Europe died because of higher than normal temperatures.
The World Health Organization has warned that serious action is required to reduce global warming emissions. If the reduction does not happen, the WHO says, there will be serious results. By 2030, almost 250,000 people will die every year from the effects of global warming. Studies have described growing evidence of the effects of actions to slow climate change. Such actions are good for global health. Out-door air pollution is linked to almost three million deaths worldwide. About 1.2 million of those deaths are in China alone. Researchers say a move from coal-fueled power plants to renewable energy, such as sunlight and wind power, can greatly reduce that danger. Researchers also say that moving to renewable energy will lead to fewer people being treated in hospitals and a drop in health care costs. Suggesting that people use active forms of transportation like bicycles may help reduce diabetes and obesity.
Several ways are suggested to deal with climate change. They include closing coal power plants, increasing the use of renewable energy, investing in health systems and agreeing to support a global climate treaty which is expected to be signed when world leaders are to meet in Paris.
23. What do we learn about the effects of climate change on public health?
24. What caused the death of 1.2 million people in China?
25. What is the suggested action to deal with climate change?
选项
A、Drought may increase the risk of infectious diseases.
B、Flood may increase the risk of poor nutrition among children.
C、High temperature weather may cause mental health problems.
D、Extreme weather may cause the death of people.
答案
D
解析
录音提到,地球气候变化导致极端天气,而这些极端天气会危及公共健康。在2003年,欧洲七万人死于高温天气。D项“极端天气可能致人死亡”是正确答案。录音提到。气候变化增加某些地区洪水泛滥的可能性,洪水与传染病发病率上升有一定的联系,但没有提到A项“干旱可能增加传染病的风险”;录音说到气候变化会引起干旱。导致农作物减产,使得儿童营养不良风险率增加。故B项“洪水可能增加了儿童营养不良的风险”错误;录音并未提及到精神健康问题,故C项“高温天气可能导致精神健康问题”也可以排除。
