1973年，國家颶風(fēng)中心引入了薩菲爾-辛普森等級量表（由赫伯特·薩菲爾和羅伯特-辛普森創(chuàng)建），這是一個根據(jù)風(fēng)力強(qiáng)度對颶風(fēng)進(jìn)行分類的五類評級系統(tǒng)。)”指出了1973年，國家颶風(fēng)中心引入了薩菲爾-辛普森等級量表，文章二、三段和第四段集中指出自這種評價首次出現(xiàn)以來的半個世紀(jì)里，由于溫室氣體排放，陸地和海洋的溫度穩(wěn)步上升，颶風(fēng)變得更強(qiáng)烈，風(fēng)力更強(qiáng)，降雨量更大。一些科學(xué)家認(rèn)為，由于災(zāi)難性的風(fēng)暴經(jīng)常超過每小時157英里，薩菲爾-辛普森評價量表不再傳達(dá)目前最大颶風(fēng)的威脅，所以MichaelF.Wehner提出了6級評價系統(tǒng)，文章第五段“ButtheNationalHurricaneCenterhasnoplanstointroduceaCategory6,primarilybecauseitisalreadytrying“tonotemphasizethescaleverymuch,”saidBrennan,theNationalHurricaneCenterdirector.Othermeteorologistssaidthat’stherightcall.“Idon’tseethevalueinitatthistime.”(但國家颶風(fēng)中心主任Brennan說，國家颶風(fēng)中心沒有引入6級評價的計劃，主要是因為它已經(jīng)在努力“不太強(qiáng)調(diào)規(guī)模”。其他氣象學(xué)家表示，這是正確的決定?！拔椰F(xiàn)在看不出這有什么價值?！?”指出因為Category6不太強(qiáng)調(diào)颶風(fēng)規(guī)模，所以引進(jìn)Category6就沒有必要，言外之意是應(yīng)該引進(jìn)其他形式的強(qiáng)調(diào)規(guī)模的評價系統(tǒng)。縱觀全文，文章主要講的是自從薩菲爾—辛普森等級量表引進(jìn)以來，因為由于溫室氣體排放，陸地和海洋的溫度穩(wěn)步上升，颶風(fēng)變得更強(qiáng)烈，風(fēng)力更強(qiáng)，降雨量更大，所以薩菲爾—辛普森等級量表不能更好地警告公眾風(fēng)暴的危險，因此需要有一個新的評價系統(tǒng)，因為Category6不再強(qiáng)調(diào)颶風(fēng)規(guī)模，言外之意就是需要引進(jìn)其他形式的強(qiáng)調(diào)規(guī)模的量級評價系統(tǒng)，所以D項ABiggerNumberMightBeNeededforHurricanes(颶風(fēng)可能需要更大的量級系統(tǒng))作為文章的標(biāo)題最合適。故選D項。DThesmallhobbyofchocolateisbecomingamorecostlyone.Rapidlyincreasingpricesforcocoabeansrecentlyhitarecord$12,000atonne:roughlyfourtimeslastyear’sprice.Manythinktheywillgohigher.Thatmayputsmallspecialistproducersoutofbusiness.Yetitisbringinglittlerewardtostrugglinggrowers.TheimmediatecauseisabadharvestinWestAfrica—whichproduces70%oftheworld’sbeans—reflectingElNi?o-linkedweatherpatternsanddisease.MajorprocessingplantsinGhanaandIvoryCoast,themaingrowers,havestoppedorreducedoperationsbecausetheycannotaffordthebeans.Butunderlyingthecrisisarelonger-termissuesincludingtheclimatecrisisandtheinabilityoffarmerstoinvestinproductionduetotheirlowincomes.ManyWestAfricangrowersarebeingforcedoutofthebusinessafteryearsofpunishinglylowreturnsfortheirworkand—astreescometotheendoftheirlifecycle—oftensellinglandtogoldminers,resultinginsevereenvironmentaldegradation(惡化).LatinAmericanfarmersarerushingtoplantcocoaduetothehigherprices,abandoningothercropsanddeforestingnewareas.Butthelikelihood,ifproductionboomsandthesystemdoesnotchange,isthatbythetimetheirnewtreesbearfruit,pricesmaybefallingagain.Asseriousasthesituationlooks,theattentiondemandedbytherocketingpriceofcocoa,andtheintroductionofEUDeforestationRegulationofferanopportunity.Facedwithglobalheating,increasingconflictandenergypriceinstability,dependingonthefreemarketisapoorbet.Treatingfoodissuesasfinancialinstrumentshurtsfarmers,destroysforestsandworsenstheinstabilityofsupply.Thesolutioninthiscaseisacommitmenttostableminimumpricesforcocoafarmersandlong-termcontracts.Thiswouldhelptoliftgrowersoutofpovertyand,indoingso,tackleotherproblems.Sustainableproductionisessential,andwillevenbenefitconsumersinthelongrun.Itcan’tbeachievedbylettingthefreemarketrunitscourse.12.Whatmightbetheconsequenceofrisingcocoaprices?A.Somesmallproducerswillfail.
