II. 閱讀理解
They seldom meet on the cricket or football fields, but the world's small island developing states are informally competing with each other to be the first to give up fossil fuels and embrace clean energy.
52 low lying poor countries have made the energy plans, who traditionally heavily depend on imports of petrol and oil.The Caribbean island of Dominica is leading the world with plans to become carbon “negative” by 2024.The Maldives is not far behind, hoping to be carbon neutral(無溫室氣體排放)by 2024.Tuvalu and the Cook islands intend to generate all their electricity from renewables by 2024 and Timor-Leste, the poorest country in Asia, expects to provide solar electricity to all its 100,000 families by 2024.
With Tonga, Samoa, Nauru, Mauritius and many other countries also volunteering to switch to solar, geothermal and wind energy, the target of the group of 52 small island developing states is a 45% cut in emissions in the next 18 years—considerably more than the world's rich countries who have pledged 12~18% cuts by 2024.
“We are showing the world leadership,”said Dominican ambassador to the UN,Vince Henderson, at a UN development programme meeting ahead of next week's climate talks in Bonn, Germany.“This is about survival as well as economics.We are spending $220m a year importing fuel so it is in our interests.We are demanding that all countries take their responsibilities.”
“Small island developing states can leap toward the goal of a poverty-free and prosperous future by changing their energy sectors,”said Barbados prime minister, Freundel Stuart.“We hope the international community has a unified voice, sharing our aspiration to become fully sustainable.”
In a separate development, the world's 47 least developed countries (LDCs) will propose on Monday what they call a “bold new plan” to help speed up the UN climate talks.“Our countries cannot wait.We are already feeling the effects of climate change, but the time has come for us to be leaders in the international effort to address this global challenge.”said Pa Ousman Jarju, the chair of the LDC group.

1.B [推理判斷題。本文主要指出52個島國出臺宏偉的減排計劃,第一段引出文章主題。]
2.D [推理判斷題。文章并未提到這些國家與發達國家競爭來成為世界的統治者,故D項并不是他們制定減排計劃的原因。誤解分析:根據倒數第三段最后一句可知A項;根據倒數第二段第一句可知B項;根據倒數第二段最后一句可知C項。]

More than six hundred delegates have been meeting in Burkina Faso this week to discuss education in Africa.The aim is to find ways to support economic growth by improving education and job training programs.
The delegates include education ministers and representatives of civil society, business, labor and youth groups.The meeting, held every three years, is known as the Triennial.
Ahlin Byll-Cataria is executive secretary of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa.His group organized the week-long conference.He says there is a missing link between education and employment in Africa.For example, schools need to improve technical training for students who do not continue with secondary education.
Mr.Byll-Cataria says educational programs need to be reshaped to better fit the needs of employers.“For instance, where they have to train engineers, there is a lot of discussion between the schools and the companies in order to know the demands of the companies.So that is exactly what we also want to promote.”
Several West African countries are working together to develop a network of trade and vocational schools.The idea is based in part on a successful example developed by Nigeria.
Mr.Byll-Cataria says educators are working to connect government-run school systems with other groups that are helping educate students.These include nongovernmental organizations, community literacy centers and faith-based groups.Among these groups are Islamic schools,or madrasas that are expanding what they teach.Another subject for the conference was peace education.The idea grew out of the violence in Kenya related to elections in two thousand seven.The idea of peace education has spread to countries including Rwanda, Somalia, Ivory Coast,Sierra Leone and Liberia.New technology offers a way for Africans living elsewhere in the world.For example,a professor from Burkina Faso living in the United States could use videoconferencing to teach a class back home.
