emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. here i will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation. when it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. we are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. this is why, in part at least, the us national climate assessment says that: “there is no one-size fits all adaptation. ”nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. floods have become more damaging in bangladesh in recent decades. mohammed rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. his not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and highways. but he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season. elsewhere in asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. chewang norphel lives in a mountainous region in india, where he is known as the ice man. the loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. he directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. his fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. having created nine such ice reserves, norphel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. climate change is a continuing process, so norphels ice reserves will not last forever. warming will overtake them. but he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting. increasing earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. in southern spain the sudden increase of greenhouses(which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. while spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. this example should act as an inspiration for all cities. by painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process. in peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. the outcome is still far from clear. but the world bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”. more ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. a friend of mine owns an area of land in western victoria. over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. but during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. this is common sense. but some suggestions for adapting are not. when the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual. human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. but the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. after all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others. 1. the underlined part in paragraph 2 implies . a. adaptation is an ever-changing processb. the cost of adaptation varies with timec. global warming affects adaptation formsd. adaptation to climate change is challenging2. what is special with regard to rezwans project?a. the project receives government support. b. different organizations work with each other. c. his organization makes the best of a bad situation. d. the project connects flooded roads and highways. 3. what did the ice man do to reduce the effect of global warming?a. storing ice for future use. b. protecting the glaciers from melting. c. changing the irrigation time. d. postponing the melting of the glaciers. 4. what do we learn from the peru example?a. white paint is usually safe for buildings. b. the global warming trend cannot be stopped. c. this country is heating up too quickly. d. sunlight reflection may relieve global warming. 5. according to the author, polluting industries should . a. adapt to carbon pollutionb. plant highly profitable cropsc. leave carbon emission aloned. fight against carbon pollution6. whats the authors preferred solution to global warming?a. setting up a new standard. b. reducing carbon emission. c. adapting to climate change. d. monitoring polluting industries. 答案1. a2. c3. a4. d5. d6. bbfreedom and responsibilityfreedoms challenge in the digital age is a serious topic. we are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. some 2, 500 years ago greece discovered freedom. before that there was no freedom. there were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. egypt and babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses. in greece, in athens(雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. and athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. they must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert. the athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. a man was free if he was self-controlled. to make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. they were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. each one felt responsible for the welfare of athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. the essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state. but discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. it cannot be discovered once for all. if people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. constant watch is its price. athens changed. it was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. it had been the athenians pride and joy to give to their city. that they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. there had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. what the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them;and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share. athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. there could be only one result. if men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. it is to be had on no other terms. athens, the athens of ancient greece, refused responsibility;she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again. but, “the excellent becomes the permanent, ”aristotle said. athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. a great american, james madison, referred to:“the capacity(能力)of mankind for self-government. ”no doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking greek. athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. the digital age cannot destroy it. somehow in this or that mans thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. one can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime. 7. what does the underlined word“tyrannies”in paragraph 2 refer to?a. countries where their people need help. b. powerful states with higher civilization. c. splendid empires where peop
