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、exemplified
B、accepted
C、identified
D、corrected
答案
B
解析
空格处在so…that句型中,强调事物的某一特征导致了一个结果。本句提到科学家对气候的认识有很大缺陷,故推断他们对气候的判断无法让人信服。选B项accepted“接受”,表示公众无法接受科学家的判断。A项exemplified“例证”代入后指无法用例子来解释科学家的判断,上下文没有相关的语义依据。C项identified“鉴定,辨别”代入后指人们无法分辨科学家的判断,不符合逻辑。D项correct作动词时意为“纠正,更正”,语义与语篇无关。
