help deal with climate change,” the worlds leading authority on global warming has told the observer.dr rajendra pachauri, chair of the united nations intergovernmental panel on climate change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.pachauri, who was re-elected the panels chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “it was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport,” he said. the uns food and agriculture organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. these are produced during the production. for example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, give off a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than co2.pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by masterchef presenter and restaurateur john torode. “i have a little bit and enjoy it,” said torode. “too much for any person is bad. but theres a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. if we all bought british and stopped buying imported food, wed save a huge amount of carbon emissions.”professor robert watson, the chief scientific adviser for the department for environment food and rural affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. “eating less meat would help, theres no question about that,” watson said.however, chris lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group bpex, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “some ideas were contradictory,” he said. “for example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.”1. what is directly related to global warming?a. consumption of meat. b. growth of cattle. c. methane from ruminants. d. processing of meat.2. who holds a view opposite to the others in the passage? a. rajendra pachauri.b. john torode. c. robert watson. d. chris lamb. 3. it is implied in the passage that _. a. we should try to keep away from cattleb. ruminants should not be left outdoors c. the meat industry will soon close down d. we must do our duty to save the earth4. which of the following might be the best title for the passage?a. less meat, slower global warmingb. more animals, more greenhouse gas c. less imported food, better our environmentd. greater diet change, smaller climate change【参考答案】14、cdda阅读理解-b hotel icaria barcelonahotel locationhotel icaria barcelona

they own their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in american society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. more than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of american adults. the plain fact is that most americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings. income in the united states is not as highly concentrated as wealth. in 1917 the richest 10 percent of american families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from social security and other government payments. the most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of world war ii. although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. by any measure economic inequality is great in the united states. the reality behind these statistics is that a large number of americans are poor. in 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal governments poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. in other words, about one out of seven americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. the suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. by this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million americans are poor. 11what does the majority of the americans have in terms of wealth? atheir income and savings. btheir house, cars and small amounts of savings. ceverything they own in their homes. dactually, they have no wealth at all.12what is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most americans? aless than 25%. bmore than 25%. cmore than 75%. dless than 20%. 13why is economic inequality still great in the us in spite of the economic growth? abecause the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor. bbecause income in the us is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of american families.cbecause the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917. dbecause some americans made great fortunes during the second world war. 14what can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph? a. the poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981. b. the 1981 line didnt leave much to the poor. c. there were more americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line. d. there were more americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line. 15from the last two sentences we can see that 1981 governments poverty line _. awas of no good for the poor bwas officially approved cwas not helpful to the poor dwas not put into operation then 【参考答案】1115、bacddfaced with a tough job market, fresh graduates are dreaming of running their own
