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.

选项
A、statistic
B、effect
C、wanning
D、cooling
答案
B
解析
本段第二、三句介绍了北极对全球气温上升的影响。B项effect“影响,效果”代入后可表明科学家针对北极的影响做研究。此外,也可参考常见短语“global warming effect”作答。A项statistic“统计数字”,本句后有一表示数据的at 0.07℃ a decade,A项代入句中语义上可以说通,但由于该空格置于双引号之内,而数据本身不包含言外之意,用在引号内不合逻辑。C项warming“升温”和D项cooling“降温”都只说明北极本身的气温变化情况或形势,不能承接上一句继续讨论北极对全球气温的影响。
