Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on
record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by
the Global Carbon Project.
Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since the
Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it
difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades.
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. In
the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by over
4 percent in 2010, the new analysis shows.
“Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of indecision,”
said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research.
“There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years is going to change.”
Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare at
long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have
met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs.
The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed the
wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the
production of cement sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new
analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries.
On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made headway in
stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries have simply
exported some of them.
The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of
energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that has
changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr. Peters said.
Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs
designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they
have had little effect so far.

Question 40. Many governments in the world resist limiting emissions because ____________.
A. it is not the best way to solve such problems
B. they don’t realize the risks of carbon emissions
C. it would probably harm human welfare in the long run
D. they are unwilling to accept higher energy costs
Question 41. According to the passage, the report found that the burning coal accounts for____________
of the increase in total emissions.
A. more than half B. one-third
C. only about 7 percent D. over 4 percent
Question 42. According to Glen P. Peters, we can learn that _____________.
A. the rapid growth of emissions contributes to potential risks for humans
B. rich countries actually take more responsibility for the growth of emissions
C. human beings will follow the same path of negotiations in the next 10 years
D. some countries negotiate together yearly whether to reduce the amounts of emissions
Question 43. The word “urgent” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______________.
A. needful B. pressing C. related D. unsolved
