资料：Earlier this month, presidents Barack Obama of the US and Xi Jinping of China made an important symbolic gesture when they committed their countries, the two largest greenhouse gas emitters, to the Paris climate agreement. It was the clearest signal yet to investors worldwide that they need to think about the implications of global warming for their portfolios.
On Friday afternoon there was an example of what that might mean Mr Obama’s administration issued an order temporarily blocking construction on a section of the Dakota Access oil pipeline. The move was a response to local concerns raised by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe about potential damage to historic sites and the threats of oil spills. But it is the global issue of climate change that had raised the profile of Dakota Access, making it into a cause celebre for US environmental campaigners. Bill McKibben of 350.org, which played a key role in the successful effort to stop the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada, has suggested that Mr Obama could block Dakota Access permanently, on the grounds that it would exacerbate the threat of climate change.
Last month, the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality issued new guidance for federal agencies, making clear that their decisions should take into account “the potential effects of a proposed action on climate change”, and quantify their consequences for greenhouse gas emissions. Dakota Access is intended to carry crude oil 1,172 miles from North Dakota, a centre of the US shale revolution, to Illinois, en route to refineries around America. The case that it would add to global greenhouse gas emission will be harder to make than for Keystone XL, which would have brought crude from the high-emitting oil sands of western Canada, but the campaigners are certain to try.
If Dakota Access is stopped, it will have a significant impact not just on energy Transfer Partners, the company leading the project, but on all North Dakota oil producers and their customers, who will be forced to use more expensive rail transport.
Climate change is now an unavoidable business issue. In an excellent paper last week, BlackRock, the world’s largest fund manager, set out some of the ways that investors can reduce their exposure to the risks and benefit from the opportunities that it creates. The paper is a landmark in the rising awareness of the issue among mainstream investors. It is one thing when a philanthropic fund with assets of a few hundred million takes a stand on climate issues, quite another when the warnings come from a company with about $4.9tn under management. As BlackRock points out, investors’ personal views on climate science are irrelevant. Enough governments and businesses are convinced by the scientific consensus that the threat is real, and are driving regulatory and technological changes that interested in you.
六If the world is to reduce the risk of catastrophic global warming to acceptable levels, there will have to be a huge reallocation of capital away from fossil fuels and toward low-emission energy sources. That shift has begun, but it needs to go much further. The transition is not straightforward: for as long as oil is the lifeblood of the world’s transport, pipelines will be needed. But when investors and boards make decisions about projects like Dakota Access, they will have to consider their impact on greenhouse gas emissions. The financial consequences of climate change can no longer be ignored.
Which one of the following is not the measure taken by US government to deal with climate change? （ ）.

Sino-Japan Animosity（敌意）Lessens
Chinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a
survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.
The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO（非营利性的组织）,a Japanese think
tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both
countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.
The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and
representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs（非政府组织）designed to improve communication and
understanding between the Iwo countries.
Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary
citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from
well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous
members of Genron NPO.
Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good"
impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese
students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of
Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.
Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were
"important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.
But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in
relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and
53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties this
year.
Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the
survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to Yasukuni
Shrine（靖国神社）,and the Nanjing Massacre（大屠杀）.
Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary
Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just
30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for
Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.
Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top
the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral
meetings,the survey found.
Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve
relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of
intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively
important".
Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and
newspapers,the survey found.

Questions 184-188 refer to the following article.
President Barack Obama has issued his call to put global warming at the top of the international
agenda, pledging to push for coordinated action by the world's biggest countries to tackle problem of climate change.
In the speech, the US president on Tuesday laid out a three-pan plan to deal with climate change using the power of his office.
He outlined a strategy to cut the US's carbon pollution by reducing emissions from coal-fired power plants; to prepare the US for the impact of climate change, such
as the super storm that ravaged the New Jersey coastline last year, and to lead the world by example in combating changing climate.
"While no single step can reverse the effects of climate change, the president believes we have a moral obligation to our kids to leave them a planet that's not polluted and White House official said.
The coal industry said the proposals could prove devastating-----shares in US coal mining companies have been falling sharply-but Mr. Obama ' s speech was being watched closely around the world.
In Europe, where the Eurozone crisis has pushed the
climate change agenda firmly into the political background, environmental campaigners said they hoped Mr.Obama's speech would puncture arguments tackling global warming as bad for the economy.”If you have got the US and China moving, then the argument that the EU is going it alone clearly doesn't stand up to scrutiny anymore," said Tom Brookes of the European Climate Foundation.
The president said he would seek to expand new and existing international initiatives,including bilateral initiatives with China, India and other big emissions countries.
