Most of the world’s great seaport cities would be【C1】______: New Orleans, Amsterdam, Shanghai, and Cairo. Some countries—Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, islands in the Pacific — would be inundated. Heavily populated coastal areas such as in Bangladesh and Egypt, 【C2】______large populations occupy low-lying areas, would suffer extreme【C3】______.
Warmer oceans would spawn stronger hurricanes and typhoons,【C4】______in coastal flooding, possibly swamping valuable agricultural lands around the world. 【C5】______water quality may result as【C6】______flooding which forces salt water into coastal irrigation and drinking water supplies, and irreplaceable, natural【C7】______could be flooded with ocean water, destroying forever many of the【C8】______plant and animal species living there.
Food supplies and forests would be【C9】______affected. Changes in rainfall patterns would disrupt agriculture. Warmer temperatures would【C10】______grain-growing regions pole-wards. The warming would also increase and change the pest plants, such as weeds and the insects【C11】______the crops.
Human health would also be affected. Warming could【C12】______tropical climate bringing with it yellow fever, malaria, and other diseases. Heat stress and heat mortality could rise.

But these benefits will be in individual areas. The natural systems—both plant and animal—will be less able than man to cope and【C18】______. Any change of temperature, rainfall,and sea level of the magnitude now【C19】______will be destructive to natural systems and living things and hence to man as well.
The list of possible consequences of global warming suggests very clearly that we must do everything we can now to understand its causes and effects and to take all measures possible to prevent and adapt to potential and inevitable disruptions【C20】______by global warming.
【C18】
选项
A、adapt
B、alleviate
C、agitate
