COP30:各国气候大会在巴西召开。
【原文·时文阅读】
文章来源:外文网站
On Monday, the important international climate meeting COP30 (Conference of the Parties ) began in
Belém, Brazil. The United States is skipping the meeting, but leaders from almost 200 other countries from
around the world are working hard to try to reach agreements needed to tackle the climate crisis.
In 2015, the world’s countries signed the “Paris Agreement” to work together to try to limit global warming
to 1.5ºC. In recent years, world leaders have held follow-up “COP” meetings to check in on how the world is doing
in its fight against the climate crisis, and to reach agreements on next steps.
This year’s meeting, COP30, is being held in Belém, Brazil. Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva,
opened the meeting yesterday. The meeting’s location helps put a focus on the Amazon rainforest, which is
important in the fight against climate change.
读时文精读
Climate experts say that immediate action is needed. There’s concern that the world may soon permanently
go beyond the 1.5ºC temperature increase that countries were trying to avoid.
Ending the use of fossil fuels is one of the most important actions needed. But fossil fuel use has continued to
grow. This trend seems likely to continue. Worldwide, countries are focused on developing Artificial
Intelligence (AI) technology, which demands lots of energy.
The United States, one of the world’s largest and most polluting countries, is not officially attending the
meeting. US President Donald Trump has called climate change a “hoax”.
Since he took office for the second time in January, Mr. Trump has taken many steps to reverse climate
actions the US has taken in the past. His government is actively promoting fossil fuels and working against
renewable energy sources.
But over 100 American state and local leaders are attending the meeting in spite of the official US
government position.
China is leading the way in the climate fight by producing renewable energy technology on a huge scale. Last
year, China added more wind turbines and solar panels than all the rest of the world put together.
One of COP30’s main goals is for countries to move from making promises of climate action to showing
specifically how they’ll keep these promises.
For years, poorer countries have asked richer countries for help dealing with climate change. Wealthy
countries caused most of the pollution that triggered global warming, but poorer countries are often hit hardest by
the effects of the climate crisis.
At COP29, wealthy countries agreed to pay up to $300 billion a year by 2035. But experts say poorer
countries will need around $1.3 trillion a year to prepare for and recover from climate-related damage. An
important COP30 challenge is to figure out how this money might be raised.
UN climate chief Simon Stiell pointed out that no nation can actually afford the growing costs of climate
disasters. This is why immediate action is important.
The meeting is expected to end on November 21. But recent COP meetings have gone longer than expected as
countries struggled to reach agreements.

COP30:各国气候大会在巴西召开
本周一,重要的国际气候会议COP30(缔约方大会第三十次会议)在巴西贝伦市拉开帷幕。尽管美
国缺席此次会议,但来自全球近200 个国家的领导人正努力达成应对气候危机所需的各项协议。
2015 年,世界各国曾共同签署《巴黎协定》,承诺通过合作将全球变暖幅度控制在1.5℃以内。近年
来,各国领导人通过后续系列COP 会议持续评估全球气候治理进展,并就下一步行动达成共识。
本届COP30 会议选址巴西贝伦市具有特殊意义。巴西总统卢拉·达席尔瓦在开幕式致辞中强调,会议
地点选择凸显了亚马孙雨林在应对气候变化中的关键作用。
气候专家警告称,全球正面临紧迫行动窗口期。令人担忧的是,国际社会竭力避免的1.5℃温升阈值
可能即将被永久突破。
淘汰化石燃料是最关键的应对措施之一,但全球化石燃料消费量持续攀升。这种趋势因各国竞相发展
——
人工智能技术而加剧
AI 产业正消耗着惊人的能源。
作为全球最大污染国之一,美国此次未派官方代表团参会。美国总统特朗普曾公开宣称气候变化
是"骗局"。自今年1 月再次就任以来,特朗普政府已推翻多项既有气候政策,大力扶持化石燃料产业,同
时限制可再生能源发展。但仍有逾百名美国州级和地方官员以个人身份参会。
中国在气候斗争中引领潮流,大规模生产可再生能源技术。数据显示,中国去年新增风电和光伏装
机容量超过全球其他国家的总和。
本次会议核心目标在于推动各国从空泛承诺转向具体行动方案。多年来,发展中国家始终呼吁发达国
——
家提供气候援助
正是后者的历史排放导致了全球变暖,但前者却承受着最严重的气候灾难后果。
去年COP29 会议上,发达国家承诺到2035 年实现每年3000 亿美元的气候融资。但专家估算,发展
中国家实际每年需要约1.3 万亿美元资金应对气候灾害。如何填补这一巨大资金缺口,成为COP30 的重要
议题。
联合国气候变化执行秘书西蒙·斯蒂尔指出,面对不断升级的气候灾难成本,没有任何国家能独善其
身,这正是立即采取行动的紧迫性所在。
会议原定于11 月21 日闭幕,但鉴于往届COP 会议常因谈判僵局延期,本届会期仍存变数。
Passage1 阅读理解
练好题精练
(2026·安徽省高三大联考)
Recently, Venice has started charging €5 for day-trippers and limiting the size of tour groups. Rome is
considering a €2 fee to see the Trevi fountain. New Zealand has upped fees for visitors.
Researchers, led by Ya-Yen Sun at the University of Queensland, in Australia, found that between 2009 and
2020, global emissions (排放) from tourism grew by an average of 3.5% a year, double the rate of emissions in
general. Many other industries have managed to break the dependency of growth on emissions. However, tourism’s
“carbon intensity” in 2019 was 30% higher than the global economy’s average, and four times greater than that of
the services sector as a whole, despite international attempts to reduce tourism’s environmental harm. That failure,
in part, seems to be the result of airlines’ lobbying (游说). Initiatives designed to make them greener often prove
ineffective: carriers can sometimes avoid them entirely by using small amounts of sustainable fuel. Moreover,
tourists typically behave in a more emissions-intensive way than at home, eating out, shopping and living the high
life. Because their emissions come from so many sources, it is hard for countries to know how to account for it all.
Dr. Sun also found that tourism, and its emissions, are not distributed evenly. The 20 countries with the most
tourism emissions per person were responsible for three-quarters of the global footprint, with rich countries
unsurprisingly having far greater per-head emissions from tourism than poorer ones.
All these lead the researchers to argue that — as well as tightening regulation for aviation ( 航空) —
governments must do a better job in adding up the emissions that tourists generate, and setting limits for the
numbers they allow in. That could be unpopular with places that are keen to attract travellers who want to spend
money.
But policymakers can help in other ways, too: the best way to reduce tourism’s footprint is to speed up the
change to renewable-energy sources, so those activities lead to as few emissions as possible.
1.Why are Venice, Rome and New Zealand mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To compare different standards of travel fees.
B.To highlight the economic benefits of tourism.
C.To reflect the attempts to control tourism wave.
D.To criticize the high fees charged by tourist destinations.
2.Which of the following is supported by Dr. Sun’s findings?
A.Rich nations cause more per-person tourism emissions.
B.Tourism emissions have decreased due to global efforts.
C.Domestic travel produces more emissions than travelling abroad.
D.International commitment to reduce emission turns out a failure.
3.What is the most effective method to reduce tourism emissions?
A.Setting limits on air travel frequency.
B.Speeding up renewable energy adoption.
C.Making strict rules for tourism in rich nations.
D.Increasing entrance fees for all tourist attractions.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Annoying Visits
B.The Troubling Aviation
C.The Growing Emissions
D.The Alarming Environment
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了全球旅游业碳排放问题,包括其增长速度、各国间的差异以及
减少排放的建议。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently, Venice has started charging €5 for day-trippers and limiting the size of
tour groups. Rome is considering a €2 fee to see the Trevi fountain. New Zealand has upped fees for visitors.(最近,
威尼斯开始对一日游游客收取5 欧元,并限制旅游团的规模。罗马正在考虑对参观特雷维喷泉收取2 欧元
的费用。新西兰提高了游客的费用。)”可知,第一段提到威尼斯、罗马和新西兰是为了反映它们都在尝试
采取措施控制旅游热潮。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Dr. Sun also found that tourism, and its emissions, are not distributed evenly. The
20 countries with the most tourism emissions per person were responsible for three-quarters of the global footprint,
with rich countries unsurprisingly having far greater per-head emissions from tourism than poorer ones.(孙博士还
发现,旅游业及其排放的分布并不均匀。人均旅游排放量最多的20 个国家占了全球足迹的四分之三,不出
所料,富裕国家的人均旅游排放量远高于贫穷国家。)”可知,孙博士发现富裕国家人均旅游排放量更多。
故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段“But policymakers can help in other ways, too: the best way to reduce tourism’s
footprint is to speed up the change to renewable-energy sources, so those activities lead to as few emissions as
possible.(但政策制定者也可以通过其他方式提供帮助:减少旅游足迹的最佳方法是加快向可再生能源的转
变,使这些活动产生的排放尽可能少。)”可知,加快采用可再生能源是减少旅游排放最有效的方法。故选
B。
4.主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了全球旅游业碳排放问题,包括其增长速度、各国间的差异以及减少排放
的建议。其中第一段提到威尼斯、罗马和新西兰都在采取措施控制旅游热潮,第二段提到旅游业碳排放的
增长速度,第三段提到旅游业碳排放的分布不均,最后一段提到减少旅游足迹的最佳方法。整篇文章都在
围绕旅游业碳排放问题展开,而旅游业碳排放问题与游客的参观行为密切相关,游客的参观行为导致了碳
排放的增加,因此,选项A“恼人的参观”作为标题最符合文章主旨。故选A。
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Researchers, led by Ya-Yen Sun at the University of Queensland, in Australia, found that between
2009 and 2020, global emissions (排放) from tourism grew by an average of 3.5% a year, double the rate of emissions
in general.
【句式分析】 这个句子是一个复合句,包含多个分句和修饰成分。led by Ya-Yen Sun at the University of
Queensland 是过去分词短语作短语,相当于一个非限制性定语从句,that 后是宾语从句,double the rate of
emissions in general 形容词短语作定语。

Passage2 阅读理解
(2025·陕西省西安市铁一中学高三第六次模拟)
Artificial intelligence — or AI — is the computer code that allows a machine to do something that normally
requires a human brain. On TikTok, for instance, AI sorts the posts so that the first ones you see are likely to be
those you’d prefer. But before an AI can do any of that, developers must train it.
While a small percentage of AI systems are trained using low-emission sources such as solar, hydro, or
nuclear power, the overwhelming majority still depend on the conventional energy mix supplied by national grids.
In many parts of the world, that energy mix leads to significant carbon emissions, prompting growing concerns
over the environmental footprint of energy-hungry AI models.
Language-processing AI systems develop their abilities by devouring large collections of written content,
which may include everything from online articles to digitized books in multiple languages. Training them takes
extended time and constant system activity, often depending on powerful machines running without interruption. To
translate between English and Chinese, for example, an AI model may deal with millions or even billions of
translated books and articles. In this way, it learns which words and phrases match. Later, when given a new text, it
recommends its own translation.
To compare how different activities affect the climate, researchers often combine the impacts of all
greenhouse gases into what they call CO2 equivalents. In 2019, researchers calculated the impact of developing an
AI model named Transformer. It released a whopping 626, 000 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalents. That’s equal
to the greenhouse gases that would be poured by five American cars from when they were made to when they were
junked.
Today, most AI development happens at data centers. These computer-filled buildings account for some 2
percent US electricity use and 1 percent of global energy use. As AI models grow larger and more computationally
demanding, these figures are expected to rise. Some experts have sounded the alarm, warning that the unchecked
energy appetite of such systems may soon pose a significant threat to global sustainability efforts. With rising
energy demands, AI’s expansion signals more than just innovation — where it leads remains uncertain.
5.What is AI training mainly energized by?
A.Fossil fuels.
B.Clean resources.
C.Nuclear energy.
D.Greenhouse gases.
6.What do we know about the language-processing AI systems?
A.They skip digitalized materials.
B.They are domain-specific.
C.They may outperform human translators. D.They are energy-intensive.
7.Why does the author mention Transformer in paragraph 4?
A.To suggest AI emissions match those from big polluters.
B.To explain how AI handles language in training sessions.
C.To show AI is possibly outpacing traditional industries.
D.To stress the environmental cost of AI development.
8.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.AI’s expansion may overwhelm data center systems.
B.The energy footprint of AI deserves close attention.
C.AI’s development raises social and moral concerns.
D.Cutting AI-related emissions calls for public efforts.
【答案】5.A 6.D 7.D 8.B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了人工智能(AI)的能源消耗问题,指出其对环境的影响日益显著,
尤其是数据中心的能耗不断增加,引发了对全球可持续性的担忧。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“While a small percentage of AI systems are trained using low-emission sources
such as solar, hydro, or nuclear power, the overwhelming majority still depend on the conventional energy mix
supplied by national grids.(虽然一小部分人工智能系统使用太阳能、水电或核能等低排放源进行训练,但绝
大多数人工智能系统仍依赖国家电网提供的传统能源结构)”可知,绝大多数AI 系统依赖国家电网提供的传
统能源组合,而传统能源主要指化石燃料。故选A 项。
6.推理判断题。根据第三段“Language-processing AI systems develop their abilities by devouring large
collections of written content, which may include everything from online articles to digitized books in multiple
languages. Training them takes extended time and constant system activity, often depending on powerful machines
running without interruption.(语言处理AI 系统通过大量吸收各种书面内容来发展其能力,这些内容可能包括
从在线文章到多种语言的数字化书籍。训练它们需要花费大量时间,并且需要持续的系统活动,通常依赖
于不间断运行的强大机器)”可知,训练语言处理AI 需要长时间不间断运行高性能机器,这些机器运行消耗
大量传统能源,所以训练语言处理AI 是高耗能的过程,它们是能源密集型的。故选D 项。
7.推理判断题。根据第四段“To compare how different activities affect the climate, researchers often combine
the impacts of all greenhouse gases into what they call CO2 equivalents. In 2019, researchers calculated the impact
of developing an AI model named Transformer. It released a whopping 626, 000 pounds of carbon dioxide
equivalents. That’s equal to the greenhouse gases that would be poured by five American cars from when they were
made to when they were junked.(为了比较不同活动对气候的影响,研究人员通常将所有温室气体的影响合并
为他们所说的二氧化碳当量。2019 年,研究人员计算了一个名为Transformer 的AI 模型的开发影响。它释
放了惊人的626,000 磅二氧化碳当量。这相当于五辆美国汽车从制造到报废所排放的温室气体总量)”可知,
通过Transformer 模型排放62.6 万磅CO₂ 的实例,强调AI 开发需付出的环境代价。故选D 项。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, most AI development happens at data centers. These computer-filled
buildings account for some 2 percent US electricity use and 1 percent of global energy use. As AI models grow
larger and more computationally demanding, these figures are expected to rise. Some experts have sounded the
alarm, warning that the unchecked energy appetite of such systems may soon pose a significant threat to global
sustainability efforts. With rising energy demands, AI’s expansion signals more than just innovation — where it
leads remains uncertain.(如今,大多数人工智能开发都发生在数据中心。这些充满电脑的建筑占美国用电量
的2%,占全球用电量的1%。随着人工智能模型变得越来越大,对计算的要求也越来越高,这些数字预计
还会上升。一些专家已经敲响了警钟,他们警告说,这些系统不受控制的能源需求可能很快就会对全球可
持续发展的努力构成重大威胁)”可知,数据中心能耗巨大,且AI 模型扩大将加剧能源需求,专家警告其威
胁可持续发展,暗示需重视能源足迹。故选B 项。

(2026·云南昭通一中等三校高考备考实用性联考卷(四))
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Reuse: The Quiet Engine of a Circular Economy
Reuse is fast becoming the backbone of circular economics. By keeping products in use longer — before
they are recycled or re-manufactured — it delivers social wins that statistics rarely capture.
A 2023 Suez UK report predicts that, by 2028, reuse organizations could handle over 15 million items
annually.
1
. Their findings show that reuse is no longer just “nice to have”; it is a multidimensional tool for
public good.
2
By offering high-quality reused items at low prices, reuse organizations directly relieve financial strain on
households, particularly those struggling with the rising cost of living. This access to affordable goods enhances
living standards and reduces economic inequality.
New jobs in the repair and reuse economy
Every sofa rescued needs a repair bench, a delivery van and a sales floor.
3
. Local colleges in
Brighton already run short courses funded by reuse centers, turning redundant (冗余的) retail workers into certified
technicians.
Lower unemployment with used devices
4
. Once equipped, the unemployed can enroll in online courses, apply for vacancies or even start micro-
businesses — closing the loop (环) between social inclusion and economic growth.
Greater capture of rare earth metals
Taking apart end-of-life products for reuse recovers valuable rare-earth metals, cutting environmentally
damaging mining and boosting resource security.
5
. By extending product life, reuse reduces new
manufacturing, lowering carbon emissions and combating climate change.
A.Reduced bills for residents
B.Fewer new product purchases
C.Online courses provide positions for the jobless
D.It also reduces the carbon footprint of production
E.Second-hand laptops remove the first employment barrier
F.These steps create paid traineeships for the long-term unemployed
G.A CIWM study backs up this message, arguing that reuse transfers waste and creates jobs
【答案】1.G 2.A 3.F 4.E 5.D

Passage 4 完形填空
Most of us think of electricity only when something goes wrong. A storm
1
the power out, or
there’s a short in the wiring, or the monthly bill is unexpectedly high. Normally, we switch on, the juice flows, and
we think nothing of it.
According to the International Energy Agency, rising overall demand for electricity is outstripping (超过) the
world’s efforts to improve efficiency and boost renewables. The fact is, economic development will inevitably
require greater
2
of electricity. It is increasingly clear that nuclear power plants must play an important
role in this equation (制衡关系).
Nuclear power is, in many ways, the most promising source of zero-carbon electricity. Unlike solar, wind
and water power, electricity from nuclear plants is
3
. Generators keep running when the sun is not
shining, the wind is not blowing and water levels are low. Nevertheless, the industry has an uncertain and
dangerous
4
. Take the United States as an example. There are fewer commercial reactors (商用核反应
堆) in
5
today in the country than there were a generation ago. This year could see three commercial
reactors
6
. There are plans to shut down about 20 more over the coming years.
The problem is a misunderstanding of
7
. Humans are constantly exposed to radiation (辐射) —
from the sun, from the universe, from the very ground we walk on. The alarming near-meltdown at Pennsylvania’s
Three Mile Island plant in 1979
8
exposed neighbors to about one-sixth the radiation dose they would
receive from having a single X-ray.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is one of a growing number of
9
who believe that cheaper,
smaller reactors must play a significant part in the post-carbon energy mix (能源结构). His company Terra Power
has announced plans to build a next-generation nuclear reactor at the site of a former coal-fired power plant in
Wyoming. The goal is to prove that nuclear power can be
10
to the grid (输电网) at a competitive price
and on a reasonable timeline.
I'm an optimistic supporter of renewable energy sources. I’m also a (n)
11
student of the various
impediments (阻碍) to the growth of these sources. I agree with Gates that the surest path to net-zero carbon
emissions is one that
12
every non-carbon energy source, including nuclear power. The model to have in
mind is not the hulking plant like Chernobyl. Instead, let's consider the small, reliable reactors that have
13
the United States' submarines and aircraft carriers. In 50-plus years of cruising, they have had no
14
.
Carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases are the environmental challenge of our age. Nuclear power is
one tool for
15
ourselves of them — while keeping the lights on.
