4、究是關于氣候變化的可能影響和所有相關風險。W: And how strong is the evidence that climate change is happening that is reallysomething we need to be worried about? 女：有多少證據(jù)表明氣候變化正在發(fā)生，這才是我們真正需要擔心的?M: Well, most of the science of climate change, particularly that to do with globalwarming, is simply fact. 暖的科學，都是簡單的事實。But oth

5、er aspects of the science are less certain, or at least more disputed.但科學的其他方面就不那么確定了，或者至少爭議更大。And so we are really talking about risk. 所以我們談論的是風險。What the economics tells us is that its probably cheaper to avoid climate change toavoid the risk than it is to deal with the likely consequences. 經(jīng)濟學告訴我

6、們，為了1避免風險而避免氣候變化可能比處理可能的后果要便宜。W: So what are we doing? What can we do about it? 女:我們在做什么? 我們能做些什么呢?M: Well, I would argue that we need to develop the science specifically to understandthe likely impacts of climate change in different contexts. :嗯，我認為我們需要發(fā)展專門的科學來了解氣候變化在不同情況下可能產(chǎn)生的影響。As I said, we need

7、 to understand the best ways of avoiding climate change. 正如我所說，我們需要了解避免氣候變化的最佳途徑。And this will involve a huge transition to low-carbon energy systems. 這將涉及向低碳能源體系的巨大轉(zhuǎn)型。And the transition is a tremendous priority. 而轉(zhuǎn)型是重中之重。And for this to happen, we may need action on a global scale. 為了實現(xiàn)這一目標，我們可能需要在

8、全球范圍內(nèi)采取行動。From a political perspective, we need to understand the terms on which major countrieslike China and the USA might sign up to a global agreement 從政治角度看，我們需要了解中美等大國簽署全球協(xié)議的條件，because at the moment we dont have that consensus. 因為目前我們還沒有達成共識。W: Right. 女:對M: And we also need to plan ahead 男:我們還

9、需要提前計劃，so that were in a position to deal with the likely levels of climate change which arealready inevitable, 這樣我們就有能力應對已經(jīng)不可避免的可能的氣候變化水平，and even more so too for the levels that are likely if we dont get those global agreements.如果我們沒有達成那些全球協(xié)議，可能出現(xiàn)的水平更是如此。Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversat

35、will hear three recordings of lectures or talks followedby three or four questions.The recordings will be played only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answerfrom the four choices marked A),B),C) and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line th

36、rough thecentre.Recording OneLets say you start to brainstorm a list of all the emotions you ever experienced. 假設你開始頭腦風暴，列出你曾經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過的所有情緒。Just for fun, try it now. 只是為了好玩，現(xiàn)在就試試吧。Whats on your list? 你的清單上有什么?Chances are, you included things like: happy, sad, excited, angry, afraid, grateful, proud,scare

38、 the word negative to describe more difficult emotions, but it doesntmean those emotions are bad or we shouldnt have them. 我們可能會用“消極”這個它們。Still, most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one.不過，大多數(shù)人可能更愿意感受積極的情緒，而不是消極的情緒。Its likely you prefer to feel happy instead of s

41、的信任。Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf. 憤怒可能是一個信號，表明我們可能需要代表自己采取行動。Negative emotions focus our awareness. 負面情緒使我們的意識集中。They help us to zero in on a problem so we can deal with it. 他們幫助我們把注意力集中在一個問題上，這樣我們就能處理它。But too many negative emotions can make us feel overwhelmed,

42、 anxious, exhausted orstressed out. 但是太多的負面情緒會讓我們感到不知所措、焦慮、疲憊或壓力過大。When negative emotions are out of balance, problems might seem too big to handle.當負面情緒失去平衡時，問題似乎大到無法處理。The more we dwell on negative emotions, the more negative we begin to feel. 我們越沉溺于消極情緒，我們就會越開始感到消極。Focusing on negativity just kee

43、ps it going. 專注于消極只會讓它繼續(xù)下去。Positive emotions balance out negative ones, but they have other powerful benefits, too.積極的情緒會抵消消極的情緒，但它們也有其他強大的好處。Instead of narrowing our focus, like negative emotions do, positive emotions affect ourbrains in ways that increase our awareness, attention and memory. 積極情緒不

44、會像意力和記憶力的方式影響我們的大腦。They help us take in more information, hold several ideas in mind at once and9understand how different ideas relate to each other. 它們幫助我們吸收更多的信息，同時記住幾個想法，并理解不同的想法是如何相互聯(lián)系的。When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to learn andbuild on our skills. 學習和提

45、高我們的技能。That leads to doing better on tasks and tests. 這會讓你在任務和測試上做得更好。People who have plenty of positive emotions in their everyday lives tend to be happier,healthier, learn better and get along well with others. 在日常生活中有很多積極情緒的人往往更快樂，更健康，學習更好，與他人相處得很好。Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording yo

How do positive emotions affect us? 18. 積極情緒如何影響我們?Recording TwoIn the past few months, Ive been travelling for weeks

47、 at a time with only one suitcaseof clothes. 在過去的幾個月里，我旅行了好幾個星期，每次只帶了一個手提箱的衣服。One day, I was invited to an important event, and I wanted to wear something specialfor it. 有一天，我被邀請參加一個重要的活動，我想穿一些特別的衣服。I looked through my suitcase but couldnt find anything to wear. 我翻遍了手提箱，但找不到任何可以穿的東西。I was lucky to b

48、e at the technology conference then, and I had access to 3D printers.我很幸運當時能參加技術會議，而且我可以使用 3D打印機。So I quickly designed a skirt on my computer, and I loaded the file on the printer. 所以我很快在電腦上設計了一條裙子，然后把文件上了打印機。It just printed the pieces overnight. 它只是在一夜之間打印出來的。The next morning, I just took all the p

49、ieces, assembled them together in my hotel room,10and this is actually the skirt that Im wearing right now. 第二天早上，我把所有的衣服都拿出來，在我的酒店房間里組裝起來，這就是我現(xiàn)在穿的裙子。So it wasnt the first time that I printed clothes. 所以我不是第一次印衣服了。For my senior collection at fashion design school, I decided to try and 3D print an en

50、tirefashion collection from my home. 試從家里打印出一個完整的時裝作品集。The problem was that I barely knew anything about 3D printing, and I had only ninemonths to figure out how to print five fashionable looks. 問題是我對3D打印幾乎一無所知，而且我只有 9 個月的時間想出如何打印出 5 種時尚的外觀。I always felt most creative when I worked from home. 在家工作的時

51、候，我總是覺得自己最有創(chuàng)造力。I love experimenting with new materials, and I always tried to develop new techniquesto make the most unique textiles for my fashion projects. 我喜歡嘗試新材料，我總是嘗試開發(fā)新技術，為我的時尚項目做出最獨特的紡織品。One summer break, I came here to New York for an internship at a fashion house inChinatown. 一個暑假，我來到紐約唐人街

52、的一家時裝店實習。We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed. 我們設計了兩件不可思議的 3D打印禮服。They were amazing-like you can see here. 它們太棒了就像你在這里看到的。But I had a few problems with them. 但是我有一些問題。They were made from hard plastics and thats why they were very breakable. 它們是由硬塑料制成的，這就是它們易碎的原因。The models could

53、nt sit in them, and they even got scratched from the plastics undertheir arms. 模特們不能坐在里面，他們甚至被胳膊下的塑料劃傷了。So now, the main challenge was to find the right material for printing clothes with, Imean the material you feed the printer with.所以現(xiàn)在，主要的挑戰(zhàn)是找到合適的材料來打印衣服，我的意思是你給打印機輸入的材料。The breakthrough came when

54、 I was introduced to Filaflex, which is a new kind ofprinting material. 當我接觸到Filaflex 這一新的印刷材料時，我有了新的突破。11Its strong, yet very flexible. 它很結(jié)實，但很靈活。And with it, I was able to print the first garment, a red jacket that had the wordfreedom embedded into it. 有了它，我能夠打印出第一件衣服，一件紅色夾克，里面嵌著“自由”這個詞。And actual

55、ly, you can easily download this jacket, and change the word to somethingelse. 實際上，你可以很容易地下載這個夾克，然后把這個詞換成別的。For example, your name or your sweethearts name. 例如，你的名字或者你愛人的名字。So I think in the future, materials will evolve, and they will look and feel like fabricswe know today, like cotton or silk. 所以

56、我認為在未來，材料將會進化，它們的外觀和感覺將會像我們今天知道的面料，像棉花或絲綢。Questions 19 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.19.
