The world’s greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to the Tianshan Mountains on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows.
The discovery has【C1】______ scientists, who had believed that around 50 billion tons of melted water were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.
The study is the first to survey all the world’s icecaps and glaciers and was made 【C2】______ by the use of satellite data. Overall, the【C3】______ of melting ice outside the two largest caps — Greenland and Antarctica — is much【C4】______ than previously estimated, with the lack of【C5】______ loss in the Himalayas and the other high【C6】______ of Asia responsible for most of the discrepancy.
Bristol University glaciologist Professor Jonathan Bamber said, "The very unexpected result was the【C7】______ mass loss from high mountains of Asia, which is not【C8】______ different from zero."
The melting of Himalayan glaciers caused【C9】______ in 2009 when a report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change mistakenly stated that they would disappear by 2035, instead of 2350.【C10】______, the scientist who led the new work is clear that while greater uncertainty has been discovered in Asia’s highest mountains, the melting of icecaps and glaciers around the world【C11】______ a serious concern.
"Our results and those of everyone else show we are【C12】______ a huge amount of water into the oceans every year," said Professor John Wahr of the University of Colorado. His team’s study concludes【C13】______ 443 to 629 billion tons of melted water overall are added to the world’s oceans each year. This is【C14】______ sea level by about 1.5 mm a year, the【C15】______ reports, in addition to the 2 mm a year caused by【C16】______ of the warming ocean.
The scientists are【C17】______to point out that lower-altitude glaciers in the Asian mountain ranges are【C18】______ melting. Satellite images and reports【C19】______ this. But over the study period from 2003 to 2010, enough ice was added to the peaks to 【C20】______.
【C12】
选项
A、losing
B、creating
C、abandoning
D、increasing
答案
A
解析
本题考查语境推理。根据下文提供的细节信息“他的团队研究的结论是每年总计有4 430到6 290亿吨的融水汇入海里”可知,此句意为“我们的研究结果和其他人展示的一样,每年我们都损失了大量的融水,流入海里”。空白处的词语意义应与后句中的added to the world’s oceans形成呼应。词义辨析:lose v.意为“损失,减少”;create v.意为“创造,形成”;abandon v.意为“不顾责任与义务地舍弃,离开”或“停止帮助,放弃”;increase v.意为“增加,增多”。根据词义,选择losing最为恰当。
