  Global emissions(排放)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 (超過(guò)) the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions.In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and the production of cement (水泥) 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.

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鱷) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比賽) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下傷疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外傷), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (認(rèn)同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
