(4)_____, the answer might seem obvious: More sunlight reaching the ground in a warming world means that temperatures will get warmer (5)_____ Not so fast, some researchers say. Additional warming would be certain (6)_____ nothing else in the climate system changes. And the climate system is (7)_____ static. Some combinations of changes could reinforce the heating; others could (8)_____ it.

选项
A、offset
B、disrupt
C、restore
D、relieve
答案
A
解析
空格所在句为对比语义句。既然上半句说某些变化会加强(reinforce)热度,那么空格所在句就该是说还有些变化会抵消(offset)热度,故offset为答案。disrupt(破坏),restore(恢复),relieve(缓解)均要排除。
