Climate change is the defining issue of our time, because it affects nearly every aspect of human lives. Floods, droughts, heat waves and other types oi extreme weather reduce harvests, threaten the lives and livelihoods of those living on the margins, and(1)have a disproportionate impact on the extreme poor.
Because many of the poorest people live off the land, they are more susceptible to the impacts of extreme weather conditions. Climate change is expected to lead to increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as storms and droughts. Extreme weather events can have devastating effects on subsistence farmers. While no one event can be attributed to climate change,(2)the East African drought of 2011 -2012 contributed to a famine in Somalia, which contributed to the deaths of an estimated quarter of a million people. In Nepal , Pakistan, Bangladesh and some parts of South and East Asia,the combination of flooding caused by unusually heavy rains, poverty and low levels of development regularly brings hunger and death.
1. Why do the poorest suffer most from extreme weather events?
2. How many people died in Somalia in the East African drought of 2011 -2012?
选项
A、Many of them are peasants.
B、Many of them have no shelters.
C、Thev don’t like had weather.
D、Thev cannot adapt to cold weather.
答案
A
解析
录音中提到很多最贫困的人都务农为生(live off the land),所以他们都是贫苦的农民。因为极端天气对农业不利,所以他们受到的影响最大。
