參考答案【正確答案：C】
本題是文中人物觀點的細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干的關(guān)鍵詞climate is a key element及大寫字母Moritz定位到第7段的內(nèi)容。本句中Moritz提到“should not come at the expense of the equation”，不以平等的代價而來。正確答案C中的不應(yīng)該忽視其他因素是對本句的同義轉(zhuǎn)化與概括。干擾項A的public debates來自第6段的the focus但未提settle的話題，也非本題定位句；干擾項B的conditions是第6段的最后一句conditions that worsen fires，偷換動詞worsen與improving；選項D的a shift in the view of是出現(xiàn)在第五段，時態(tài)錯誤，原文是would require，選項是has taken place。

- 9 【英譯漢】 Climate change is a global issue of common concern to the international community. In recent years, worldwide heat waves, droughts, floods and other extreme climate events have occurred frequently, making the impact of climate change increasingly prominent. It has become a main world trend that all countries join hands to respond to climate change and promote green and low-carbon development. China is the world's largest developing country, with a large population, insufficient energy resources, complex climate and fragile eco-environment. It has not yet completed the historical task of industrialization and urbanization and its development is unbalanced. China's per-capita GDP in 2010 was only a little more than RMB 29,000. By the UN standard, China still has a poverty-stricken population of over 100 million, thus it faces an extremely arduous task in developing its economy, eliminating poverty and improving the people's livelihood. In the meantime, China is one of the countries most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
