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.

【C9】
选项
A、aggressive
B、optimistic
C、inferior
D、alternative
答案
D
解析
第二段说到,有些科学家认为气温效应中止了。第三段首句提到另一种理解:气温上升的速度慢下来了。D项alternative“可替代的”,表示另一观点。A项aggressive “侵略性的;有进取心的”在文章中无法体现。B项optimistic“乐观的”和C项inferior“(质量)低劣的;下等的”代入后表明了作者对科学家的第二种观点的看法或评价,但作者在此表达的是外界的另一种看法,而非自己的评价。
