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.

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.
【C15】
选项
A、adjustments
B、benefits
C、adoptions
D、profits
答案
B
解析
这句话后面的意思是,在北极地区很多新的航路将被开辟出来。在靠近地球北部地区,生长季节会延长,这样会开创出一些新的农田。可见后文介绍的是气候变暖后的一些优点、好处,benefit意为利益、好处;profit意为收益、利润。所以正确答案是B项。
