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. A study by NASA puts the "Arctic【C11】________over the same period【C12】________lower, at 0.07℃ a decade, but that is still not【C13】________.
It is also worth remembering that average warming is not the only【C14】________of climate change.

选项
A、length
B、area
C、evidence
D、breadth
答案
A
解析
这里要填的是与前面“高温天气的天数”和“极度高温天气的天数”并列的内容,都是衡量气候变化的指标。A项length“长度”可指时问的长短,在句中表示“高温期持续的时间长度”。B项area“区域”说明的是高温天气覆盖的范围。属于空间的范围,而文章讲的是时间上的气温变化。C项evidence“证据”说明的是证明高温天气持续时间的研究材料,但上下文没有体现这层意思。D项breadth“宽度”指某物体的具体宽度,或知识、经验方面的宽广程度。
