Climate Change Poses Major Risks for Unprepared Cities
A new examination of urban policies has been carried out recently by Patricia Romero Lankao. She is a sociologist specializing in climate change and ________ (51) development. She warns that many of the world’s fast-growing urban areas, especially in developing countries, will likely suffer from the ________ (52) of changing climate. Her work also concludes that most cities are failing to ________ (53) emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. These gases are known to affect the atmosphere. “Climate change is a deeply local issue and poses profound ________ (54) to the growing cities of the world.” says Romero Lankao. “But too few cities are developing effective strategies to protect their residents.”

Lankao’s findings highlight ways in which city-residents are particularly vulnerable, and suggest policy interventions（干预）that could offer immediate and longer-term _________ (56). The locations and dense construction patterns of cities often place their populations at greater __________ (57) for natural disasters. Potential threats associated with climate include storm surges and prolonged hot weather. Storm surges can flood coastal areas and prolonged hot weather can heat ________ (58) paved cities more than surrounding areas. The impacts of such natural events can be more ________ (59) in an urban environment. For example, a prolonged heat wave can increase existing levels of air pollution, causing widespread health problems.

Many residents in poorer countries live in sub-standard housing ________ (61) access to reliable drinking water, roads and basic services.
Local governments, therefore, should take measures to ________ (62) their residents. Unfortunately, they tend to move towards rhetoric（言辞）________ (63) meaningful responses, Romero Lankao writes. They don’t impose construction standards that could reduce heating and air conditioning ________ (64). They don’t emphasize mass transit and reduce automobile use. In fact, many local governments are taking a hands-off approach. ________ (65), she urges them to change their idle policies and to take strong steps to prevent the harmful effects of climate change on cities.
