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.

选项
A、negligible
B、desirable
C、accessible
D、reliable
答案
A
解析
0.07℃的上升即便比全球0.12℃的气温上升幅度小,但仍然不可忽视。故A项negligible“微不足道的”符合语义要求,搭配空格前的not表示并非微不足道。B项desirable“令人满意的;可取的”、C项accessible“可理解的”和D项reliable“可靠的”都不能说明气温上升幅度对气候研究的影响,不符合上下文的语义要求。故排除。
