Man-made climate change is "unequivocal(毋庸置疑的)" and demands urgent action. Yesterday’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change underlined the former point,【C1】______discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week demonstrated the growing consensus on the【C2】______. The challenge now is action.
The IPCC’s warning is serious: temperatures are likely to【C3】______by about 3℃ by 2100, with a【C4】______of 2℃ to 4.5℃. The latter would be close to the difference【C5】______the hast ice age and today.
Adaptation is going to be part of the response, not least【C6】______a substantial rise in temperatures is already on the way: the stock of greenhouse gases in the【C7】______now is already 50 percent【C8】______pre-industrial levels. But it is also essential to【C9】______growth in the stock, ideally to【C10】______it below 550 parts per million, which would【C11】______be double the pre-industrial levels.
On present trends, the atmosphere is【C12】______to reach such a concentration in just three decades. To【C13】______levels rising further, emissions will need to be reduced【C14】______at least 50 per cent below what Sir Nicholas Stern called "business as usual" --【C15】______is, the continuation of historic trends--by then.
The good news,【C16】______the Stern review of climate change, is that the economic【C17】______of achieving these objectives【C18】______be as little a 1 per cent of global gross product. However, the【C19】______news is that big changes to long-lived investment decisions will be required soon,【C20】______in the power sector.
【C9】
选项
A、increase
B、reduce
C、maintain
D、accelerate
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。本句的意思是:但减缓温室气体总量的增长也颇为关键,理想状态是将其控制在550ppm (1ppm为百万分之一)以下。首先根据上下文可以判断全文的中心内容就是减少温室气体的排放,控制气温的不断升高,因此选项B) reduce“减少”符合文意。A) increase“增长”和D) accelerate“加速”可排除。 C) maintain表示“维持、继续某种状态”,与文意不符,可排除。
