问题     The ocean is heating up. That’s the conclusion of a new study that finds that Earth’s oceans now【C1】______ heat at twice the rate they did 18 years ago. Around half of ocean heat intake since 1865 has taken place since 1997, researchers report online in Nature Climate Change.
    Warming waters are known to【C2】______ to coral bleaching(珊瑚白化)and they take up more space than cooler waters, raising sea【C3】______ . While the top of the ocean is well studied, its depths are more difficult to【C4】______ . The researchers gathered 150 years of ocean temperature data in order to get a better【C5】______ of heat absorption from surface to seabed. They gathered together temperature readings collected by everything from a 19th century【C6】______ of British naval ships to modern automated ocean probes. The extensive data sources,【C7】______ with computer simulations(计算机模拟), created a timeline of ocean temperature changes, including cooling from volcanic outbreaks and warming from fossil fuel【C8】______ .
    About 35 percent of the heat taken in by the oceans during the industrial era now resides at a【C9】______ of more than 700 meters, the researchers found. They say they’re【C10】______ whether the deep-sea warming canceled out warming at the sea’s surface.
A)absorb I)heights
B)combined J)indifferent
C)contribute K)levels
D)depth L)mixed
E)emissions M)picture
F)excursion N)unsure
G)explore O)voyage
H)floor
【C8】
选项
答案E
解析 名词辨析题。空格前有from，因此本空应填入名词，作from的宾语。本句句意为：包括火山爆发后的冷却和化石燃料______后的升温。and前后是并列结构，本空的名词应与outbreak有近似含义，表示化石燃料被释放出来，故答案为E)。
