The continuous presentation of scary stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it【C1】______our kids.
Al Gore famously【C2】______ how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, even though the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen,【C3】______that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.
When【C4】______with these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on tackling climate change.
This argument is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying【C5】______about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus, for example, on global warming’s impact on malaria(疟疾)—which will put slightly more people at risk in 100 years—instead of tackling the half a billion people【C6】______ from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.
【C7】______also wears out the public’s willingness to tackle global warming. If the planet is【C8】______, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A majority of people now believe— incorrectly—that global warming is not even caused by humans.
But the worst cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes—particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal【C9】______from global warming.
The newspaper also reported that parents are searching for "productive" outlets for their eight-year-olds’ obsessions(忧心忡忡)with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, contrary to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled and perhaps even quadrupled(成为四倍)over the past half-century, to about 22 000.【C10】______diminishing—and eventually disappearing—summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.
A)confronted F)doomed K)excessively
B)extinction G)suffering L)Reservation
C)terrifies H)Besides M)estimating
D)depicted I)Despite N)extracting
E)isolation J)distracted O)Exaggeration
【C6】
选项
答案
G
解析
动词辨析题。由句意可知,我们关注全球变暖对疟疾扩散的影响,而不是积极地为今天5亿因为疟疾而——痛苦的人群提供应对疟疾的预防和治疗办法。suffering与后面的介词from构成搭配suffering from“遭受”,符合句意。
