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、break
B、interim
C、recession
D、gap
答案
A
解析
15year指首段中的the last 15 years。前面讲到这15年气温上升幅度很小,一些科学家甚至认为全球变暖已经来到“暂停”(pause)期。A项break“间断”与pause近义,符合语义要求。B项interim作名词时意为“间歇,过渡期间”,但指的是两个日期或事件的间隔,用于in the interim结构中,本题空格前有时间定语,语义不符合要求。C项recession“经济衰退”与上下文语义无关。D项gap“缝隙”指两者间因缺少某部分而造成空缺,如缺口、(空间的)间隔等。
