21、World leaders and climate negotiators will gather at the climate meeting in Glasgow, Scotland for two weeks starting on October 31. Their goal is to be carbon neutral (碳中和) by 2050, which means if a country is still emitting (排放) greenhouse gases, they are being absorbed by forests or other means to keep them from entering the atmosphere. But negotiations are expected to be tough. Here are the reasons why.
Developing countries argue that although they hold the top spot for highest emissions currently, but history matters. Once emitted, carbon dioxide can last in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, trapping heat that raises global temperatures. That means emissions from burning fossil (化石) fuels over the past 150 years are responsible for the current global warming. Over that period, developing countries contributed just a small percentage of the emissions. But they’re suffering more from extreme climate change events like rising seas, heavy rain, wildfires, hurricanes, plant and animal extinction.
Another dark reality is that developing nations will not be able to adapt to all the climate-caused disasters without help. For example, sea level rise already threatens to overtake some island nations entirely. Such loss and damage, developing countries say, is not their fault. So they need financial support to help them adjust.
To help them switch from fossil fuels to greener energies and adapt to the effects of climate change, the developed world has promised to provide $ 100 billion every year. The amount is identified as a floor, not a ceiling. So that financial aid will keep going up over time. But only a few rich countries, including France, Japan, Norway, Germany and Sweden, provided a fair share. The United States, Australia and Canada fell far short. A new solution proposed this week is for the payments to average $ 100 billion per year from 2021 to 2025, with the shortfall in earlier years made up for by higher payments later on.
Developing countries also insist that half of the money go to projects aimed at helping them adapt to climate change. At the moment, most of the funding goes toward reducing emissions.
【1】What does carbon neutral most probably mean?
A．Net zero greenhouse gas emission.
B．No greenhouse gases to be produced.
C．Greenhouse gases absorbed by forests.
D．Zero greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
【2】What can be learned about the financial aid?
A．All rich countries have paid their share on time.
B．$ 100 billion is payment for island nations’ losses.
C．It is promised that it will keep increasing over time.
D．Most of it will be used on climate-adapting projects.
【3】Why are the negotiations in Glasgow expected to be tough?
A．Developed countries ignore their historical responsibilities.
B．Developed countries refused to help developing countries.
C．Developed and developing countries have very different interests.
D．Developed and developing countries disagree on all the climate goals.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Different Climate Challenges Faced by Developed and Developing Nations
B．Global Cooperation Needed Between Developed and Developing Countries
C．Developed Nations’ Failure to Keep Their Promises on Emission Reduction
D．Tensions Between the Developed and Developing Worlds Over Climate Change
22、It is common for people to believe that by reading something over and over again they will learn it. However, repetition alone does not ensure learning. 【1】 According to some reports, this is the most popular way students attempt to learn. However, mere exposure does not necessarily lead to better memory. What matters most is the approach taken when trying to learn the material. Here are some tips for effective learning.
Develop focused attention. 【2】 Focused attention requires you to keep in mind what is important to your current goal. Attention is a skill; it can be learned. Research indicates various forms of mindfulness, meditation, and other strategies can lead to improved attention.
【3】 All learning and memory formation is heavily dependent on brain health. Various types of exercise are beneficial for brain health. The foundations of brain health include exercise, nutrition, and cultivating positive social interactions. 【4】 Nutrition recommendations include eating a balanced diet. Social interactions are good for brain health, but only when they are positive interactions.
Space your learning sessions. Memory is best when you spread your studying or training across multiple sessions. One of the key reasons that spaced learning increases memory is that each time you study, you may perceive the material from a different perspective. 【5】
A．Focus on brain health.
B．Practice challenging activities.
C．This may come as a surprise to many.
D．The exercise can vary from low to high intensity.
E．Memory reflects the ability to acquire information.
F．Learning is a process which is enhanced when it occurs over time.
G．Whatever you are learning, focused attention is a key requirement.
