During the last 15 years, the Earth’s surface temperature rose at a rate of 0.04℃ a decade, far slower than the 0.18℃) increase in the 1990s. Meanwhile, emissions of carbon dioxide rose【C1】________This pause in warming has raised【C2】________in the public mind about climate change. A few skeptics say that global warming has stopped. Others argue scientists’ understanding of the climate is so flawed that their judgments cannot be【C3】________ with any confidence. A convincing explanation of the pause therefore【C4】________both to a proper understanding of the climate and to the【C5】________of climate science.
As evidence piled up that temperatures were not rising much, some scientists【C6】________it as a pause. The temperature had fallen for much longer periods twice in the past century or so,【C7】________the general trend was up. Variability is part of the climate system and a 15-year【C8】________was not worth getting excited about.
An【C9】________way of looking at the pause’s significance was to say there had been a slowdown. Most records don’t include measurements from the Arctic, which has been warming faster than anywhere else. Using satellite data to【C10】________the missing Arctic numbers, scientists put the overall rate of global warming at 0.12℃ a decade. A study by NASA puts the "Arctic【C11】________over the same period【C12】________lower, at 0.07℃ a decade, but that is still not【C13】________.
It is also worth remembering that average warming is not the only【C14】________of climate change. According to a study, the number of hot days, the number of extremely hot days and the【C15】________of warm periods all【C16】________ during the pause. A more stable average temperature hides wider extremes.
Still, attempts to【C17】________that stable average have not been convincing, partly because of the conflict between【C18】________temperatures and rising CO

emissions, and partly because observed temperatures are now falling【C19】________the range climate models predict. The models embody the state of climate knowledge. If they are wrong, the knowledge is probably【C20】________too. Hence, scientists still attempt hard to interpret the pause.
【C18】
选项
A、flat
B、high
C、mean
D、smooth
答案
A
解析
空格所需词修饰temperatures,语义上既能突出与rising CO
2
emissions间的反差,也能对应上句中stable一词。选A项fiat“平的,平坦的”,有“较固定,波动不大的”的意思。B项m曲搭配temperatures表示“高温”,炎热的天气与rising CO
2
emissions间不存在conflict。C项mean搭配temperatures意为“平均气温”,本身不具体说明气温的特征。D项smooth意为“平稳的,光滑的”,代入此处可指气温没有丝毫变动,不符合语义和逻辑要求。
