问题     Man-made climate change is "unequivocal(毋庸置疑的)" and demands urgent action. Yesterday’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change underlined the former point,【C1】______discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos last week demonstrated the growing consensus on the【C2】______. The challenge now is action.
    The IPCC’s warning is serious: temperatures are likely to【C3】______by about 3℃ by 2100, with a【C4】______of 2℃ to 4.5℃. The latter would be close to the difference【C5】______the hast ice age and today.
    Adaptation is going to be part of the response, not least【C6】______a substantial rise in temperatures is already on the way: the stock of greenhouse gases in the【C7】______now is already 50 percent【C8】______pre-industrial levels. But it is also essential to【C9】______growth in the stock, ideally to【C10】______it below 550 parts per million, which would【C11】______be double the pre-industrial levels.
    On present trends, the atmosphere is【C12】______to reach such a concentration in just three decades. To【C13】______levels rising further, emissions will need to be reduced【C14】______at least 50 per cent below what Sir Nicholas Stern called "business as usual" --【C15】______is, the continuation of historic trends--by then.
    The good news,【C16】______the Stern review of climate change, is that the economic【C17】______of achieving these objectives【C18】______be as little a 1 per cent of global gross product. However, the【C19】______news is that big changes to long-lived investment decisions will be required soon,【C20】______in the power sector.
【C20】
选项 A、barely
B、inclusively
C、solely
D、particularly
答案D
解析 逻辑衔接题。前文意思为：需要马上对长期投资决策进行重大改革，后面特别指出了电力领域，而电力领域只是前面提到的长期投资项目当中的一部分，作者只是将其特别列出，因此应选择D) particularly“特别，尤其”。选项A) barely意为“仅仅，几乎没有”，表示程度。B) inclusively表示“在内地，包含地”，如果作者为了表示包括电力部门，应使用including，另外如果仅仅是为了表示包含在内，则不需要特地提到电力部门，因此从文意和结构上分析，此选项可排除。C) solely“独自地，单独地”也不符合文意。
