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. According to a study, the number of hot days, the number of extremely hot days and the【C15】________of warm periods all【C16】________ during the pause. A more stable average temperature hides wider extremes.

emissions, and partly because observed temperatures are now falling【C19】________the range climate models predict. The models embody the state of climate knowledge. If they are wrong, the knowledge is probably【C20】________too. Hence, scientists still attempt hard to interpret the pause.

选项
A、deal with
B、tear up
C、explain away
D、come upon
答案
C
解析
本句说“……平稳气温的尝试不能让人信服”,依据是because of后提到的内容。C项explain away“为……辩解,搪塞”代入后说明因为气温和二氧化碳排放量之间存在矛盾。不能敷衍着说平均气温理应平稳,符合语篇和逻辑要求。A项deal with“对付,处理”指针对某一事物采取正确的行为或措施。代入后指气象学家积极地对待气温中的矛盾现象,所含语义与have not been convincing的语义不一致。B项tear up“撕毁,取消”代入后可指专家否定上文得出的“平均气温趋于平稳”的结论,但上下文并没有相关的语义提示。D项come upon指“偶然发现,突然产生”代入后逻辑不通。
