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.

【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。
