HIGHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SCHOOL REPORT Form Teacher: G. Baker            Pupil’s Name:  Simon Watkins Term:        Summer 2010       Form:        Ⅳ B Subject Exam Class work Comments English 59 61 Simon has reached a satisfactory standard but now needs to apply himself with more determination. Mathematics 77 85 Sound work and progress throughout the year. Well done! History 46 53 A disappointing exam result. He is unable to give attention to this subject for long. Chemistry 78 85 His obvious ability in the subject was not fully reflected in his exam work, but I have high hopes for him nevertheless. Physics 86 94 An excellent term’s performance. He goes from strength to strength. A born scientist, I feel. Biology 57 60 This time next year he will be taking the “0” exam. He needs to concentrate on the work, not on class conversation. French 41 46 Clearly he didn’t bother to revise. His general attitude is far too casual. Physical Education / 31 Weak. It’s time he exercised his body more and his voice less. He should try to work with a team. FORM TEACHER’S REMARKS                  HEADMASTER Basically satisfactory work and progress              I shall be keeping an eye on his though he will now have realized, I hope, that          progress in his weaker subjects in certain subject areas he needs to make speedy        though his success in the sciences is improvement.                                   most pleasing.

Global warming threatens to hold back human progress, and make unachievable all UN targets to reduce poverty, according to some of the world’s leading international development groups.

In a report published today, Oxfam, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, Friends of the Earth, WWF and 15 other groups say rich governments must immediately address climate change to avoid even “unbearable levels” of worldwide poverty.

“Food production, water supplies, public health and people’s living environment are already being damaged,” the report says. “The world must meet its promise to achieve poverty reduction and also deal with climate change.”

The report, which draws on UN predictions of the effects of climate change in poor countries over the next 50 years, says poor countries will experience more flooding, declining food production, more disease and the worsening or disappearing of entire ecosystems on which many of the world’s poorest people depend.

“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.

Who should play a leading role in resisting the more extreme weather conditions?

A. International groups.       

B. Rich countries.

C. Poor countries.            

D. Tropical and sub-tropical countries.

Which of the following is not true according to the text?

A. Poverty and climate change are closely linked.

B. More and more people will suffer from the water stress and food shortage.

C. What the poor countries need badly is high technology.

D. International communities have to take steps to resist the bad climate.

What is the best title of the passage?

A. International Development Brings in Climate Change

B. Global Warming Is a Bigger Threat to the Poor

C. International Groups Work Together to Reduce Poverty

D. Worldwide Poverty Shall Be Avoided
