问题 Which of the following is NOT a consequence if temperature rises by 4 degrees?
A new study on climate change says catastrophic 4-degree rise in global temperature is increasingly likely to occur within many people’s lifetime. The studies have been compiled by one of the world’s leading research bodies monitoring climate change, the Hadley Centre in Britain. Paul Harper reports. This latest prediction from the Hadley Centre brings the prospect of devastating change much closer. He challenges the assumption that severe warming is a threat only for future generations. A four degree average temperature rise by the 2050s would bring increases of 10 degrees or more in some areas such as the Arctic and Africa. (6) It could mean a sharp decline in rainfall in some areas, flooding in others and extinction of about half of all the world’s animal and plant species.

选项 A、Some areas will experience an increase of more than 4 degrees in temperature.
B、There will be less precipitation globally.
C、More animals will be on the verge of extinction.
D、Some areas will be flooded.

答案B

解析 细节题。温度提高4度的后果包括一些地方降水减少,其他地方发洪水,和世界上将近一半的动植物的灭亡,但不是全球范围的降雨减少。原文是“It could mean a sharp decline in rainfall in some areas,flooding in others and extinction of about half of all the world’s animal and plant species.”
