Global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning jumped by the largest amount on 
record in 2010. Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to an analysis released on Sunday by 
the Global Carbon Project. 
Scientists said the increase was almost certainly the largest absolute jump in any year since 
the Industrial Revolution. The increase solidified a trend of ever-rising emissions that will make it 
difficult, if not impossible, to stop severe climate change in coming decades. 
The burning of coal represented more than half of the growth in emissions, the analysis found. 
In the United States, emissions dropped by a remarkable 7 percent in the year of 2009, but rose by 
over 4 percent in 2010, the new analysis shows. 
“Each year, emissions go up, and there’s another year of negotiations, another year of 
indecision,” said Glen P. Peters, a researcher at the Center for International Climate and 
Environmental Research. “There’s no evidence that this path we’ve been following in the last 10 years 
is going to change.” 
Scientists say the rapid growth of emissions is warming the Earth and putting human welfare 
at long-term risk. But their increasingly urgent pleas that society find a way to limit emissions have 
met sharp political resistance in many countries because doing so would involve higher energy costs. 
The new figures show a continuation of a trend in which developing countries have surpassed 
the wealthy countries in their overall greenhouse emissions. In 2010, the burning of fossil fuels and 
the production of cement sent more than nine billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere, the new 
analysis found, with 57 percent of that coming from developing countries. 
On the surface, the figures of recent years suggest that wealthy countries have made 
headway in stabilizing their emissions. But Dr. Peters pointed out that, in a sense, the rich countries 
have simply exported some of them. 
The fast rise in developing countries has been caused to a large extent by the growth of 
energy-intensive manufacturing industries that make goods that rich countries import. “All that has 
changed is the location in which the emissions are being produced,” Dr. Peters said. 
Many countries, as part of their response to the economic crisis, invested billions in programs 
designed to make their energy systems greener. While it is possible, the new numbers suggest they 
have had little effect so far.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to 
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50. 
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the 
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air 
pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous changes. When the first air 
pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to 
compounds that could be seen or smelled- a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances 
known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has 
increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be 
considered an air pollutant under certain conditions. 
Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen 
oxides are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered 
by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an 
air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a 
global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. 
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such region, 
human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the 
cycles. The result is an concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which 
the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in 
the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a 
pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this 
represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide 
has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural

 A. the compounds moved to the water or soil B. the various chemical reactions
