高考英语短篇阅读积累 一、气候变化或增加病毒传播风险 随着气候变暖，许多动物物种被驱赶到新的环境，一起带去的还有它们的寄生虫和病原体， 这些地理迁移或将促进此前毫无交集的物种间的病毒交换。研究表明，气候变化有可能成为跨物 种病毒传播的主要驱动力，而这可能增加传染病传给人类的风险。人类应该如何应对呢？下面让 我们通过这篇文章来了解一下。 The migration of land mammals(哺乳动物)in response to2°C of global warming may give rise to thousands of new viral (transmissions between mammal species by the end of the century,increasing the risk of novel viruses jumping from animals to infect humans. migration/mar'grer∫n/n.迁移；移居；迁徙 in response to响应；应对 give rise to使发生（或存在） transmission/tranz'mI∫n/n.传播：传染；传送：传递：传达 novel'npvl/adj.新颍的：与众不同的：珍奇的n.(长篇)小说 infect/in'fekt/vt.传染；使感染 "The coming decades will not only be hotter but sicker,said Gregory Albery at Georgetown University in Washington DC.Albery and his colleagues used information about animal habitats and behaviour to build a model of how 3,139 mammal species would migrate under a 2C increase in global temperature. By comparing how closely species were related-and therefore how likely they were to pass viruses to each other-the team predicted that around 120,000 encounters between mammals that hadn't previously met could lead to 4,584 cases of novel viral infections of species. encounter/1n'kau nte(r)/n.相遇；邂逅vt.遭遇；遇到 previously/'pri:vie sli/adv.以前地，先前地 "Climate change is shaking our ecosystems to their core...moving mammals will meet each other for the first time and form new communities,which will form a new mechanism for disease emergence that will threaten the health of animals in the future,with ramifications(后果)for our health too,”said Albery. to one’s core十分地，彻底地 community/ka·mju:nati/n.(动植物的)群落；社区；社会 mechanism'meke nI ze m/n.方法；机制 emergence/h'm3:d3ans/n.出现：显现；兴起 The findings highlight the need to more closely track the spread of viruses among wild mammals so we can control future outbreaks of disease in people."Climate change is going to be the biggest driver of disease emergence,and health systems need to be ready for that,"said Colin Carlson,also at Georgetown University. highlight'har lar
