The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2020，a year which had more rhinos killing in South Africa than ever before.The World Wildlife Fund, or WWF, says about 20,000 rhinos live in South Africa, That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa 9 South Africa s Environment Minister，says, “During 2020, we are sad to say this, 1,215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1,004 in 2020 and indeed very worrying.”The animals are hunted for their horns(角）. Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power, which drives poacher, at all costs, road for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin. That is the same thing as human hair, fingernails and toenails.Ms. Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africas legal system is ineffective. Ms. Molewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2020 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year,”Molewa said.Jo Shaw, the rhino program manager at the WWF, said, “Were talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month, or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally.” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade.1. What do we know about rhinos?A. Half of rhinos live in South Africa. B.

What can we infer from the text?A. Rhino protection has a long way to go.B. No one would like to buy horns in the future.C. The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.D. Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countriesBAccording to the UN Intergovernmental Panel (专家咨询组）on Climate Change, global temperatures have risen by approximately 0. 6C in the past century, caused mainly by emissions of greenhouse gases produced by human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Temperatures are to increase between 1. 6C and 5. 8C in the next century，accompanied by sea level rise and an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events.The best available evidence suggests that climate changes since the 1970s may already be causing over 150，000 deaths annually, and that greenhouse gas emissions would increase disease burdens in the coming decades. The risks are concentrated in the poorest population, who have contributed least to the problem.The Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书）is signed by 128 nations，and commits the participating industrialized countries to cutting emissions of greenhouse gases by over 5% below 1990 level by the period of 2020.“Over 600 thousand people died in weather-related disasters in the 1990s. Temperature and rainfall influence the rates of diseases and infections including malaria, and malnutrition, which together cause over 3. 5 million deaths a year. The Kyoto Protocol is the first step towards protecting the climate system, which exerts such a strong influence on our health”，said Dr Kerstin Leitner, Assistant Dinector- General for Sustainable Development and Healthy Environments.While acting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions，it is also essential to protect vulnerable (脆弱的）communities from the effects of climate changes. WHO works to promote measures such as protection from malaria and other climate sensitive diseases，and reliable access to clean water and sanitation, for people in the most vulnerable developing countries. Increasing disease control efforts will also help to protect current and future generations from the impacts of greenhouse gas emissions.1.
