We tend to learn better from experience than from what we have simply been told. So for many in Europe, sleepless nights and airless buses or workplaces have helped to make real the threat posed by global heating. Now statistics are reinforcing the message. Last week the UK had the hottest day on record; 38. 7℃ in Cambridge. New records were set in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands in July, and June was the hottest month in US history.
Heatwaves naturally occur in summer, but they used not to be so hot, or so frequent. Experts say that the UK’s
sweltering
weather last summer was made 30 times more likely by global heating. In a new survey, 77% believed the recent heatwave was partially or wholly caused by the climate crisis. As temperatures reach unprecedented levels, so does public concern about the environment.
Some places will experience more severe temperature shifts or will find it harder to adapt than others, often through lack of resources. Poorer countries, which broadly speaking are the least to blame for the climate crisis—emitting less carbon dioxide per capita—will suffer most. A hurricane or wildfire is deadlier when there is little capacity to prepare for it or to speed recovery. Families that spend most of their income on food struggle to eat when crops suffer.
A recent study found that global heating has already increased global inequality; in most poor countries, higher temperatures are very likely to have resulted in lower economic output than they would otherwise have enjoyed, while richer nations were not harmed to the same degree, and some were potentially able to actually benefit. The research ties in with previous projections that by 2100 the average income in the poorest countries will be 75% lower than it would be without climate change, and that some wealthy countries might even see higher incomes.
Yet none of these problems will be fully contained within national borders. Drought and famine are already forcing families from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to attempt to migrate to the United States when they are unable to feed themselves. A 4℃ rise this century, which is now considered a realistic prospect, would produce at least 300 million refugees and drown cities in the US and China. It is the duty of richer nations to do all they can to hold back the soaring temperatures which they did most to produce, and to take what action they can to mitigate their impact—abroad as well as at home. It is also in their self-interest.
Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
选项
A、Climate crisis: an emergency for all, but especially the poor
B、The hottest day on record
C、Global heating: a source of global inequality
D、Unprecedented public concern about the environment
答案
A
解析
主旨题。选择最佳标题是主旨题的一种。正确的标题应该可以覆盖全文要点,而错误选项往往仅仅涉及原文中某一句、某一段或某几段的内容,往往具有以偏概全的特点。本文主题词为global heating或者climate crisis。A项和C项均直接与主题词相关,但C项仅与第四段第一句密切相关,属于以偏概全,故排除。A项可以概括全文,故为正确答案。B项仅与第一段相关。D项仅与第二段最后一句相关,均属于细节信息,故排除。故本题答案为A项。
