【解析】
試題分析：本文介紹了人類濫用抗生素以及食用有抗生素產(chǎn)生耐藥性的肉制品會使人體內(nèi)產(chǎn)生抗藥性，最終導致死亡的嚴重后果。從現(xiàn)在起人們應采用有效的行動防止這一后果的發(fā)生。
1.推理題：閱讀文章內(nèi)容可知全文在講述人體內(nèi)產(chǎn)生抗生素耐藥性的嚴重后果，我們應采取有效行動防止這一后果的發(fā)生。故選C。
2.細節(jié)題：根據(jù)第二段中“the miracle drugs to fight them won’t be available in the future．”在將來是不會有奇效的藥物來對抗他們的。故選B。
3.推理題：根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知250000人產(chǎn)生淋病的抗藥性，會有14000導致死亡，計算后可知幾率為5.6%。故選A。
4.推理題：根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容可知人們產(chǎn)生抗藥性有兩種途徑，一種是濫用藥物，本是病毒感染卻使用抗生素，效果不明顯，卻產(chǎn)生抗藥性；一種是食用殘留有抗藥性的肉制品。故選A。

If Copenhagen fails to live up to hopes of a strong agreement to slow global warming, what are the reasons and who risks blame? The following are some of the candidates:
● Decline in economy distracted(分散) focus from climate change after the world agreed in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007 to work out a new U.N. agreement by December 2009. Rich nations have put billions of dollars into green growth as part of recovery packages but, when unemployment at home is high, find it hard to promise extra money for developing countries. The slowdown in industrial output means a brief fix -- greenhouse gas emissions(排放) are likely to fall by as much as 3 percent this year.
● Many delegates at U.N. talks have given up hope that the United States, the number two emitter after China, will agree legislation(立法, 法律) to limit carbon emissions before Copenhagen. The US is the only industrialized nation outside the Kyoto Protocol(京都協(xié)議書) for cutting greenhouse emissions until 2012. Many countries welcomed President Barack Obama's promises of doing more to fight climate change when he took office in January but hoped for swifter action.
● Developing nations accuse the rich of repeatedly failing to keep promises of more aid. Few developed countries live up to a target agreed by the U.N. General Assembly in 1970 to give 0.7 percent of their gross domestic product in development aid. Other plans, such as the Agenda 21 environmental development plan agreed in 1992, have fallen short.
● Most rich nations are promising cuts in greenhouse gas emissions well short of the 25-40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020, which are needed to avoid the worst of climate change. Overall cuts promised by developed nations total between 11 and 15 percent. Best offers by countries including Japan, the European Union, Australia and Norway would reach the range.
● More than 90 percent of the growth in emissions between now and 2030 is set to come from developing nations -- with almost 50 percent from China alone, U.S. climate envoy Todd Stern said this week. "No country holds the fate of the earth more in its hands than China. Not one," he said. China and India say they are slowing the growth of emissions but raising living standards is more important. So burning more energy is unavoidable -- as industrialized nations have done for 200 years.
● 2008 was the 10th warmest year since records began in the mid-19th century. The warmest was 1998, when a strong El Nino event in the eastern Pacific disrupted(使混亂) weather worldwide. That has led some to argue that global warming is slowing even though the U.N.'s WMO(世界氣象組織) says a long-term warming trend is unchanged.
● People have been slow in changing lifestyles to use less carbon. Simple choices like taking more public transport, using less heating or air conditioning, even changing light bulbs can help if millions of people act.
Who's to blame if U.N. climate deal falls short?
| Possible candidates | Supporting Details |
| __71___downturn | ● Faced with the______72____ rising unemployment, rich countries fail to give more aid to developing ones. ●____73_____industrial output brings about a temporary relief from the pressure of greenhouse gas emissions. |

People in China, as in other parts of the world, are waiting to see how U.S. President-elect Barack Obama will deal with global problems such as the current economic slowdown once he takes office. As Sam Beattie reports from Beijing, there is widespread hope for closer U.S.-Chinese cooperation.
For many students in Beijing, Mr. Obama symbolizes all that is possible in the United States. He’s a popular winner here, seen as a self-made man who has made it to the top.
"I think he is very charming, and a president who can create a new era," said Zhang Wei, a university student. "I like him very much and most of my friends do too." Ni Weibo, another university student, agrees. "Sino-U.S. relations still need more cooperation," she said. "I think he will help take it to a new era."
China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Mr. Obama within hours of his victory, saying he hoped bilateral ties could be made stronger.
Political analysts here say China will be looking for the incoming president to avoid contentious issues such as Taiwan’s independence, human rights and Tibet.
Instead, they say Beijing would like Mr. Obama to focus on solving the global economic crisis, and to help China’s slowing economy by opening up U.S. markets.
But trade relations might be a sticking point, says Renmin University’s Professor of International Studies, Shi Yinhong.
He warns, "There is a possibility that President Obama will take some protectionist measures which China will not accept, then trade disputes could develop to a degree that we have not seen ever before."
Despite making the headlines, Mr. Obama faces some tough challenges in managing the U.S. relationship with China. China is now a stronger and more confident country than the China his
predecessors dealt with. And in this time of economic uncertainty, analysts say it’s a country with which Mr. Obama will want to maintain a good relationship.
【小題1】What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
| A．Mr. Obama was popular with many students in Beijing mostly because he will take office soon. |
| B．Economic slowdown is the big problem that the world is facing and looking forward to solve except US |
| C．China’s President Hu Jintao congratulated Obama on his victory within hours. |
| D．Through Obama’s being elected, we can see all is possible in US and a new relationship may come. |
| A．What Barack Obama is expected to do in dealing with the US-China relationship. |
| B．Why Barack Obama will maintain a good relationship with China. |
| C．How Barack Obama will deal with the current economic slowdown. |
| D．What image Barack Obama has given to Chinese people. |
| A．a(chǎn) twist point | B．a(chǎn) disputed point | C．a(chǎn) good beginning | D．a(chǎn) understanding point |
| A．US-Chinese Cooperation Under the Current Economic Slowdown |
| B．Obama, Seen As A Popular Winner In China |
| C．Chinese Want Stronger Ties With US Under Obama Administration |
| D．The Current Economic Problem faces China As Well As US |
