19、ause he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage.I hate tipping.I hate it because its an obligation disguised as an option.

20、s regarding employees were simply left up to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry.Most of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggests otherwise. You actually love tipping! You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes.
21、No matter how the math works out, you persistently view restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system.One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical
22、 enough: the service is better when waiters depend on tips, presumably because they see a benefit to successfully veiling their contempt for you. Well, if this were true, we would all be slipping a few 100-dollar bills to our doctors on the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see
23、only a tiny bump in tips when they do an exceptional job compared to a passable one.

For the first time, the worlds nations agreed to keep global warming well below 2C.This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than 4%
31、of countries are responsible for more than half of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep this injustice runs.Developed nations such as Australia, the United States, Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-
32、riders”: causing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few of the costs such as climate changes impact on food and water. In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing
33、disproportionately to the global burden of climate change.On the flip side, there are many “forced riders”, who are suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the worlds most climate vulnerable countries, the majority of which are African or
34、 small island states, produce a very small quantity of emissions. This is much like a non-smoker getting cancer from second-hand smoke, while the heavy smoker is fortunate enough to smoke in good health.The Paris agreement has been widely welcomed as a positive step forward in addressing climate cha
35、nge for all, although the details on addressing “climate justice” can be best described as sketchy.The goal of keeping global temperature rise “well below” 2C is praiseworthy but the emissions-reduction pledges submitted by countries leading up to the Paris talks arc very unlikely to deliver on this
36、.More than $ 100 billion in funding has been put on the table for supporting developing nations to reduce emissions. However, the agreement specifies that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical
37、 emissions. There is also very little detail on who will provide the funds or, importantly, who is responsible for their provision. Securing these funds, and establishing who is responsible for raising them will also be vital for the future of climate-vulnerable countries.The most climate-vulnerable
38、 countries in the world have contributed very little to creating the global disease from which they now suffer the most. There must urgently be a meaningful mobilisation of the policies outlined in the agreement if we are to achieve national emissions reductions while helping the most vulnerable cou
39、ntries adapt to climate change.And it is clearly up to the current generation of leaders from high-emitting nations to decide whether they want to be remembered as climate change tyrants or pioneers.8. The author is critical of the Paris climate agreement because .A. it is unfair to those climate-vu
40、lnerable nationsB. it aims to keep temperature rise below 2C onlyC. it is beneficial to only fewer than 4% of countriesD. it burdens developed countries with the sole responsibility9. Why does the author call some developed countries climate “free-riders”?A. They neednt worry about the food and wate
41、r they consume.B. They are better able to cope with the global climate change.C. They hardly pay anything for the problems they have caused.D. They are free from the greenhouse affects affecting “forced riders”.10. Why does the author compare the “forced riders” to second-hand smokers?A. They have l
42、ittle responsibility for public health problems.B. They are vulnerable to unhealthy environmental conditions.C. They have to bear consequences they are not responsible for.D. They are unaware of the potential risks they are confronting.11. What urgent action must be taken to realise the Paris climat
43、e agreement?A. Encouraging high-emitting nations to take the initiative.B. Calling on all the nations concerned to make joint efforts.C. Pushing the current world leaders to come to a consensus.D. Putting in effect the policies in the agreement at once.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D【解析】巴黎协议旨在削减温室气体排放，控制全
44、球变暖。作者在肯定巴黎协议的同时，指出巴黎协议对那些 climate-vulnerable（容易受气候影响的）国家不公平。作者用对比的手法论证了自己的观点。8. 推理判断题。在第三段中，作者提到：a few countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the same time contributing disproportionately to the global burden of climate change 少数发达国家在碳排放方面责任最大，但是因气候变化而付出的
45、代价却较小，几乎不需要为它们所引发的问题负责。在第四段中，作者提到： suffering from the climate change impacts despite having scarcely contributed to the problem. Many of the worlds most climate vulnerable countries produce a very small quantity of emissions一些气候容易受影响的国家在碳排放方面责任很小，但却遭受着气候变化产生的影响。第七段提到：However, the agreement specifies
46、 that there is no formal distinction between developed and developing nations in their responsibility to cut emissions, effectively ignoring historical emissions 根据伦敦协议，不管是发达国家还是发展中国家都要承担同等的责任来削减碳的排放。很明显，这项协议对于气候脆弱国家来说不公平，因此作者对这项协议持批评态度，与第二段中的“we reveal just how deep this injustice runs”相呼应，故 A 选项正确
47、。9. 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Developed nations such as Australia，the United Statescausing the majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions，while incurring few of the costs such as climate changes impact on food and water”可知 ，少数发达国家在碳排放方面责任最大，但是因气候变化而付出的代价却较小。下一句“In other words, a few countries are benefiting enormously from the cons
