Despite the scandals over leaked e-mails, the scientific evidence for global warming remains strong. The question, then, is to what extent have the controversies 【B1】______ the public’ s trust in climate science or, worse, in the scientists themselves.
There has 【B2】______ been some decline.【B3】______, a closer look at the data across multiple polls shows that, broadly speaking, the public trusts scientists, believes in global warming and wants governments to do something about it. The public seems to have done what the mainstream media could not: it has kept the scandals in【B4】______. The harsh verbal attacks on climate science and scientists are【B5】______coming from a relative【B6】______of critics, and they do not reflect a 【B7】______ revival of skepticism.
Yet few climate scientists are likely to take【B8】______in this news. For them, the real【B9】______of public trust is the level of political【B10】______on global warming: if people truly believe the science, then why have so few of them【B11】______action of their governments. The problem is that people assess information from any number of【B12】______, not just scientists. And people make decisions on the basis of【B13】______and their own hopes, fears and values, which will not necessarily【B14】______what many researchers deem self-evident.
The scientific community must【B15】______that the issues surrounding climate change can produce responses in the public and politicians on many different levels.【B16】______do matter. Scientists must continue to【B17】______the public in plain language,【B18】______out the evidence for climate change in a clear and compelling way. And they must provide policy-makers with accurate, credible and timely information. Scientists will be only as persuasive【B19】______they are trusted, which means that【B20】______the public’s trust must be the scientific community’ s top priority.
【B1】
选项
A、betrayed
B、acquired
C、eroded
D、restored
答案
C
解析
考查动词辨析。根据语境可知,空格处填入的动词意在说明“丑闻引起的有关全球变暖的争论”对“公众对气象科学的信任”的影响。第一段首句提到“电子邮件泄露丑闻”,第二段首句提到“信任度”下降,据此可以推出这一影响是消极的。因此排除acquired“获得,得到”与restored“恢复,修复”。betrayed“(无意)泄露,辜负”,句子主语为controversies,故取其第一个含义,表示“争论无意中泄露了公众的信任”,不符合题意。C.eroded“损害,削弱”,代入文中,表示”争论削弱了公众对气象科学的信任”,符合文意,故正确答案为C。
