During the last 15 years, the Earth’s surface temperature rose at a rate of 0.04℃ a decade, far slower than the 0.18℃) increase in the 1990s. Meanwhile, emissions of carbon dioxide rose【C1】________This pause in warming has raised【C2】________in the public mind about climate change. A few skeptics say that global warming has stopped. Others argue scientists’ understanding of the climate is so flawed that their judgments cannot be【C3】________ with any confidence. A convincing explanation of the pause therefore【C4】________both to a proper understanding of the climate and to the【C5】________of climate science.
As evidence piled up that temperatures were not rising much, some scientists【C6】________it as a pause. The temperature had fallen for much longer periods twice in the past century or so,【C7】________the general trend was up. Variability is part of the climate system and a 15-year【C8】________was not worth getting excited about.
An【C9】________way of looking at the pause’s significance was to say there had been a slowdown. Most records don’t include measurements from the Arctic, which has been warming faster than anywhere else. Using satellite data to【C10】________the missing Arctic numbers, scientists put the overall rate of global warming at 0.12℃ a decade.

It is also worth remembering that average warming is not the only【C14】________of climate change.

选项
A、rigid
B、faulty
C、superficial
D、obsolete
答案
B
解析
空格所在处侧重说明上一条件从句的结果。如果they(指气象模式)是错误的,那么建立模式所依托的气象知识也应是错误的。B项faulty“错误的”符合语义和逻辑要求。根据语篇分析,只能判断相应的knowledge是否同样错误,而无法判断是否为“僵硬的,死板的”(A项rigid)、“表面的,肤浅的”(C项superficial)还是“过时的”(D项obsolete)。
