女：亨德森教授能否給我們一個(gè)簡要的概述，談?wù)勀谧鍪裁矗谀睦锕ぷ饕约澳闹饕芯款I(lǐng)域？

男：在氣候研究中心，我就是研究有關(guān)氣候變化的科學(xué)問題以及相關(guān)的經(jīng)濟(jì)和政策等問題。我們的

一些研究是關(guān)于氣候變化和所有相關(guān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)所可能帶來的影響。

女：氣候變化的證據(jù)有多有力，這是我們需要擔(dān)心的事情。

男：氣候變化的大部分科學(xué)，特別是與全球變暖有關(guān)的科學(xué)，基本上是事實(shí)。但科學(xué)的其他方面則

不太確定，或者至少是有更多爭議的。所以我們真的在談?wù)摰氖秋L(fēng)險(xiǎn)，經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)原理告訴我們的是，

避免氣候變化，也就是避免風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，其成本要比處理可能的后果低。

女：那我們目前在做什么呢？我們對于它可以做些什么呢？

男：那么我會(huì)說，我們需要專門開發(fā)科學(xué)，以了解氣候變化在不同情況下可能產(chǎn)生的影響。正如我

所說的，我們需要了解避免氣候變化的最佳方法，這將涉及到向低碳能源系統(tǒng)的巨大轉(zhuǎn)變，并且該

過渡是當(dāng)務(wù)之急。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，我們可能需要從政治角度在全球范圍內(nèi)采取行動(dòng)。我們需要

了解中美等主要國家可能簽署全球協(xié)議的條款，因?yàn)槟壳拔覀冞€沒有達(dá)成共識(shí)。

女：對。

男：我們還需要提前計(jì)劃，以便我們能夠處理已經(jīng)氣候變化所達(dá)到的不可逆的程度，如果我們沒有

達(dá)成這些全球性協(xié)議，可能氣候變化的程度會(huì)更嚴(yán)重。

1.關(guān)于主要研究的領(lǐng)域，亨德森教授說了什么？

2.關(guān)于氣候變化，亨德森教授說了什么？

3.亨德森教授認(rèn)為應(yīng)對氣候變化的重中之重是什么？

4.亨德森教授建議我們?nèi)绾胃玫貞?yīng)對氣候變化？

1.

A)Ittriestopredictthepossibletrendsofglobalclimatechange.

B)Itstudiestheimpactsofglobalclimatechangeonpeople’slives.

C)Itlinksthescienceofclimatechangetoeconomicandpolicyissues.

D)Itfocusesontheeffortscountriescanmaketodealwithglobalwarming.

正確答案：C

Q:WhatdoesProfessorHendersonsayabouthismainareaofresearch?

細(xì)節(jié)題。

根據(jù)對話中“theCenterforClimateResearchwhereIworksthescienceofclimatechange

toissuesaroundeconomicsandpolicy”可知，男士說的是自己在氣候研究中心工作，研究有關(guān)

氣候變化的科學(xué)問題以及相關(guān)的經(jīng)濟(jì)和政策等問題，因此C項(xiàng)“將氣候變化的科學(xué)與經(jīng)濟(jì)和政策問

題聯(lián)系起來”符合題意。故本題答案為C。

2.

A)Itwilltakealongtimebeforeaconsensusisreachedonitsimpact.

B)Itwouldbemorecostlytodealwithitsconsequencesthantoavoidit.

C)Itisthemostpressingissueconfrontingallcountries.

D)Itisboundtocauseendlessdisputesamongnations.

正確答案：B

解析：

細(xì)節(jié)題。

根據(jù)對話中“whattheeconomicstellsusisthatit’sprobablycheapertoavoidclimate

changetoavoidtheriskthanithastodealwiththelikelyconsequences”可知，男士認(rèn)為這

個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)原理告訴我們，避免氣候變化,即避免風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，其成本要比處理可能的后果低，因此B項(xiàng)“避

免后果的成本比處理后果更低”符合題意。故本題答案為B。

3.

A)Thetransitiontolow-carbonenergysystems.

B)Thecooperationamongworldmajorpowers.

C)Thesigningofaglobalagreement.

D)Theraisingofpeople’sawareness.

正確答案：A

解析：

細(xì)節(jié)題。

根據(jù)對話中“AsIsaidweneedtounderstandthebestwaysofavoidingclimatechangeand

thiswillinvolveahugetransitiontolowcarbonenergysystemsandthetransitionisa

tremendouspriority”可知，男士認(rèn)為我們需要了解避免氣候變化的最佳方法，這將涉及到向低碳

能源系統(tǒng)的巨大轉(zhuǎn)變，并且該過渡是當(dāng)務(wù)之急。因此A項(xiàng)“向低碳能源系統(tǒng)過渡”符合題意。故本

題答案為A。

A)Carryoutmoreresearchonit.

B)Cutdownenergyconsumption.

C)Planwellinadvance.

D)Adoptnewtechnology.

正確答案：C

解析：

Q:WhatdoesProfessorHadviseustodotobetterdealwithclimatechange?

細(xì)節(jié)題。

根據(jù)對話中“Andwealsoneedtoplanaheadsothatwe’reinapositiontodealwiththe

likelylevelsofclimatechange”可知，男士認(rèn)為我們還需要提前計(jì)劃，以便我們能夠處理已經(jīng)氣

候變化所達(dá)到的不可逆的程度，因此C項(xiàng)“提前計(jì)劃好”符合題意。故本題答案為C。
