“Climate change needs to be addressed now. The poor will bear the burden of it. The frontline experience of many of us working in international development indicates that communities are having to fight against more extreme weather conditions.”

　　Climate change will play havoc(浩劫)with agriculture and water supplies and will increase diseases. “By 2025 the proportion of the world’s population living in countries of great water stress will almost double, to 6 billion people. Tropical and sub-tropical areas will be hardest hit — those countries already suffering from food shortage”.

　　Poor countries mostly do not need high-tech solutions, but would most benefit from education, research and being shown how to farm better. The report says unchecked global warming, more than wars or political confusion, will displace millions of people and destabilize (不安定) many countries.

　　9. ________ should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions according to the report.

　　A. International groups

　　B. Poor countries

　　C. Rich countries

　　D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries

　　10. Which of the following is not the effect of global warming according to the report?

　　A. More natural disasters and starvation.

　　B. Increasing the world’s population.

　　C. Making millions of people move to other places.
