If the (2)_____ is real and global, how long will it last and what are the consequences for climate change, the planet’s water cycle, and other (3)_____ that draw energy from sunlight? (4)_____, the answer might seem obvious: More sunlight reaching the ground in a warming world means that temperatures will get warmer (5)_____ Not so fast, some researchers say. Additional warming would be certain (6)_____ nothing else in the climate system changes. And the climate system is (7)_____ static. Some combinations of changes could reinforce the heating; others could (8)_____ it. Unraveling these interactions and forecasting their course require an accurate accounting of the sunlight reaching the surface and the (9)_____ the surface sends skyward. Moreover, researchers say, measurements of the sun’s strength at Earth’s surface are potentially powerful tools for (10)_____ human influences on the climate.
Earth’s radiation "budget" (11)_____ an "extremely important parameter that is (12)_____ known," says Robert Charlson, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington at Seattle.

选项
A、offset
B、disrupt
C、restore
D、relieve
答案
A
解析
空格所在句为对比语义句。既然上半句说某些变化会加强(reinforce)热度,那么空格所在句就该是说还有些变化会抵消(offset)热度,故offset为答案。disrupt(破坏),restore(恢复),relieve(缓解)均要排除。
