问题     Global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world. Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice【C1】______away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in【C2】______with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are【C3】______to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures【C4】______between 1℃ and 6℃ over the next 100 years. The warming will be more【C5】______in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the【C6】______of this warming will be very different depending on where you are—coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable(宜居的)and【C7】______for humans than these areas are now.
    The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on【C8】______, everywhere. Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. Some scientists【C9】______that the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random(无规律的)variation—some years are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years【C10】______—but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.
A)appealing I)melted
B)average J)persist
C)contributing K)ranging
D)dramatic L)recently
E)frequently M)resolved
F)impact N)sensible
G)line O)shock
H)maintain
【C4】
选项
答案K
解析 空格前为名词短语increase in temperatures，空格后为介词短语between…and…，根据句意结构，此处应填入动词现在分词形式。空格前提到气温的增长，空格后列出了温度的区间，因此这里应该是“变化”或“浮动”的意思。由此确定动词ranging为本题答案，意思为“变化”。备选动词中，只有contributing和ranging为动词现在分词形式，而contributing已在上一题中选过，故可以排除。
