pularity of Reader 39。 s Digest D. the mercial benefit of Reader39。 s Digest B Protectionism does not pay The passage of a new protectionist bill by the US Senate and the House of Representatives to allow antisubsidy（反补贴） duties on Chinese imports will injure trade ties between Beijing and Washington and make the future of a global recovery even more uncertain. The shock felt by China is understandable. To balance global trade, it had already cut its trade surplus（顺差） to percent of economic output in 2020 from a high of percent in 2020. Meanwhile, the US trade deficit (赤字 ) remains as high as percent of its GDP in spite of its rising protectionism. Manila39。 s troublemaking At a time when the relevant countries have been pulling together to ease the tensions in the South China Sea, the Philippines has chosen once again to be a troublemaker. The Philippines should assume direct responsibility for the fresh outbreak of the South China Sea issue, as the Philippine government has invited major foreign oil panies to invest in exploration in 15 offshore oil and gas areas in the South China Sea. The Philippines should bear in mind that a number of the 15 areas are under Chinese maritime jurisdiction (管辖权 ) and it does not have the right to invite foreign enterprises to bid for service contracts there. Watchdogs need to bark Why is it so difficult for Chinese consumers to feel safe even when they buy products with quality guarantees issued by the authorities? Consumer anxiety about product safety has e to the front once again following a nameless post on the Inter on Feb 16, which claimed that the formaldehyde (甲醛 ) levels in the bined floorboards produced by Ark Floors, a Shanghaibased floorboard manufacturer, are found higher than the national safety standards. Ark Floors has denied the reports and has disclosed quality inspection reports for all of its products, as well as the results of the latest rounds of spot checks. 60. It can be inferred from the passage that A. China has hardly reduced its trade surplus against the United States B. trade ties between China and the United States have been uncertain C. China has no influence on the US trade situation D. China was shocked by the balance of global trade 61. The underlined word watchdogs in the third section probably refers to A. relevant authorities B. Ark Floors C. floorboard consumers D. the Inter 62. Which of the following statements is TRUE about this passage? A. The three items are all about China39。 s trade ties with the United States and the Philippines. B. The floorboard manufacturer has agreed with what the quality inspection reports have said. C. Chinese consumers even doubt the safety of the products with guarantees by the authorities. D. Chinese oil panies have been invited to invest in the Philippine offshore oil and gas areas. C Ice cover got thinner between the summers of 2020 and 2020, which still holds the record for the lowest extent on record。 and it has not recovered since. The current winter is roughly tracking the graph of 2020, according to the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The new study is not the first to propose a causal relationship between low Arctic ice in autumn and Europe39。 s winter weather. But it has gone further than others in assessing the strength of the link. Through observations and puter modeling, the team headed by Jiping Liu from Geia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, US, and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Beijing has also explained the technical aspects involved. For the past four winters, for much of the northern US, East Asia and Europe, we had this persistent abovenormal snow cover, Dr Liu told BBC News. We don39。 t see relationship with any of the other factors that have been proposed, such as El Nino。 but for sea ice, we do see it. If less of the ocean is icecovered in autumn, it releases more heat, warming the atmosphere. This reduces the air temperature difference between the Arctic and areas further south, over the Atlantic Ocean. In turn, this reduces the strength of the northern jet stream, which usually brings milder, wetter weather to Europe from the west It is these blocking conditions that keep the UK and the other affected regions supplied with cold air. The researchers also found that the extra evaporation (蒸发 .) from the Arctic Ocean makes the air wetter, with some of the additional water content falling out as snow. I agree with the study that declining Arctic sea ice can drive easterly winds and produce colder winters over Europe, mented Adam Scaife, head of prediction department at the UK Met Office. Research in other institutions, including the Met Office, confirmed the argument, he said. Dr Scaife was involved with another study published last year。
