19、5.50)The poll of 2,000 adults in England was 1 out as part of the government“s drive to curb people“s drinking habits. The campaign also stresses that a heavy drinking session is often 2 by an unhealthy breakfast, which again helps to pile on the pounds. The Know Your Limits campaign has in the past
20、 focused on other 3 of drinking, such as disease risk. But to 4 with the focus on weight, the Department of Health carried out research showing a regular beer drinker, who downed (喝) five pints a week or 250 over the 5 of a year, packed away the same number of calories as someone eating 221 doughnut
21、s over the space of 12 months. It also revealed the average wine drinker consumed 2,000 calories each month. Over the course of a year, that is the 6 of eating an extra 38 roast beef dinners. Health minister Phil Hope said, “Regularly drinking more than our 7 daily limits can have a knock-on effect
22、on our health, including an expanding waistline. “It“s not only the calories in the drinks themselves that can help to pile on the pounds, we“re also more 8 to eat fatty foods when we“ve had one too many.“ Heather Caswell, of the British Nutrition Foundation, added, “Most people would baulk (犹豫) at
23、consuming a full glass of single cream, but wouldn“t think 9 about a couple of pints.“ “But the calorie content is similar and, over time, excess alcohol intake is likely to lead to weight gain.“ And a spokesman for the Drinkaware Trust added: “It“s 10 we are in the know when it comes to what we are

There is still great uncerta
25、inty about the impacts of climate change, according to the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, released today. So if we are to survive and prosper, rather than trying to fend off specific threats like cyclones, we must build flexible and resilient (有弹性的) societies. B. T
26、oday“s report is the second of three instalments (分期连载) of the IPCC“s fifth assessment of climate change. The first instalment, released last year, covered the physical science of climate change. It stated with increased certainty that climate change is happening, and that it is the result of humani
27、ty“s greenhouse gas emissions. The new report focuses on the impacts of climate change and how to adapt to them. The third instalment, on how to cut greenhouse gas emissions, comes out in April. C. The latest report backs off from some of the predictions made in the previous IPCC report, in 2007. Du
28、ring the final editing process, the authors also retreated from many of the more confident projections from the final draft, leaked last year. The IPCC now says it often cannot predict which specific impacts of climate change-such as droughts, storms or floodswill hit particular places. D. Instead,
29、the IPCC focuses on how people can adapt in the face of uncertainty, arguing that we must become resilient against diverse changes in the climate. “The natural human tendency is to want things to be clear and simple,“ says the report“s co-chair Chris Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science in
30、Stanford, California. “And one of the messages that doesn“t just come from the IPCC, it comes from history, is that the future doesn“t ever turn out the way you think it will be.“ That means, Field adds, that “being prepared for a wide range of possible futures is just always smart“. E. Here New Sci
31、entist breaks down what is new in the report, and what it means for humanity“s efforts to cope with a changing climate. A companion article, “How climate change will affect where you live“, highlights some of the key impacts that different regions are facing. What has changed in the new IPCC report?
32、 F. In essence, the predictions are intentionally vaguer. Much of the firmer language from the 2007 report about exactly what kind of weather to expect, and how changes will affect people, has been replaced with more cautious statements. The scale and timing of many regional impacts, and even the fo
33、rm of some, now appear uncertain. G. For example, the 2007 report predicted that the intensity of cyclones over Asia would increase by 10 to 20 per cent. The new report makes no such claim. Similarly, the last report estimated that climate change would force up to a quarter of a billion Africans int
34、o water shortage by the end of this decade. The new report avoids using such firm numbers. H. The report has even watered down many of the more confident predictions that appeared in the leaked drafts. References to “hundreds of millions“ of people being affected by rising sea levels have been remov
35、ed from the summary, as have statements about the impact of warmer temperatures on crops. “I think it“s gone back a bit,“ says Jean Palutikof of Griffith University in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, who worked on the 2007 report. “That may be a good thing. In the fourth climate assessment we tried
36、 to do things that weren“t really possible and the fifth has sort of rebalanced the whole thing.“ So do we know less than we did before? I. Not really, says Andy Pitman of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. It is just more rigorous language. “Pointing to the sign of the change,
37、rather than the precise magnitude of the change, is scientifically more defensible,“ he says. J. We also know more about what we don“t know, says David Karoly at the University of Melbourne. “There is now a better understanding of uncertainties in regional climate projections at decadal timescales (
38、时标).“ Are we less confident about all the impacts of climate change? K. Not quite. There are still plenty of confident predictions of impacts in the reportat least in the draft chapters that were leaked last year, and which are expected to be roughly the same when they are released later this week.
39、These include more rain in parts of Africa, more heatwaves in southern Europe, and more frequent droughts in Australia (see “How climate change will affect where you live“). It also remains clear that the seas are rising. How do we prepare in cases in which there is low confidence about the effects
40、of climate change? L. That“s exactly what this report deals with. In many cases, the uncertainty is a matter of magnitude, so the choices are not hard. “It doesn“t really matter if the car hits the wall at 70 or 80 kilometres an hour,“ says Karoly. “You should still wear your seat belt.“ So when it
41、comes to sea-level rise or heatwaves, the uncertainty does not change what we need to do: build sea walls, use efficient cooling and so forth. M. But in some casessuch as African rainfall, which could go up or downthe models are not giving us great advice, so all we know is that things will change.
42、“We are not certain about the precise nature of regional change, but we are absolutely certain there are going to be profound changes in many regions,“ says Pitman. Even then, there are things we can do that will always help. A big one is getting people out of poverty. The report says poverty makes
43、other impacts worse and many suggested adaptations are about alleviating it. The IPCC suggests“ giving disadvantaged groups more of a voice, helping them move when they need to and strengthening social safety nets. N. What“s more, all countries should diversify their economies, rather than relying o
44、n a few main sources of income that could flood or blow over. Countries should also find ways to become less vulnerable to the current climate variability. That means improving the way they govern resources like water, the report says. O. In short, we must become more resilient. That would be wise e
45、ven if the climate was stable. Our current infrastructure often cannot deal with the current climate, says Karoly, pointing to events like the recent UK floods. “We don“t have a resilient system now, even in extremely well developed countries.“(分数:71.00)(1).Focusing on the clue of climate change ins
46、tead of the severity of climate effects is scientifically more reasonable.(分数:7.10)(2).IPCC“s new report has removed some of the predictions that appeared in the former one released in 2007.(分数:7.10)(3).One of the lessons both IPCC and history has taught us is that future never appears as you expect
47、 it to be.(分数:7.10)(4).The IPCC“s latest report has weakened many firmer projections written in the leaked drafts.(分数:7.10)(5).The first of IPCC“s three instalments has focused on the current climate conditions and the main reason for those conditions.(分数:7.10)(6).The most important thing for us to
48、do is to get people rich.(分数:7.10)(7).Sometimes the uncertainty is just about the extent of climate effects, thus the choices of what we should do is quite easy.(分数:7.10)(8).Countries must make their economies varied and improve the way of controlling the recourses in order to better deal with clima
