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.

选项
A、approach
B、proof
C、impact
D、measure
答案
D
解析
除了气温的平均上升幅度,下文还提到这15年间的“高温天气的天数”,这也是研究气候变化时需考察的内容。可见average warming不是衡量气候变化的唯一指标。D项measure “测量,测度”符合语义要求。A项approach“方法”代入后,句子语义不通顺,且其后常跟介词to连用。B项proof“证据”和C项impact“影响”强调的是climate change (气候变化)所导致的结果,这与文章试图从平均气温的变化来解释、研究气候变化的角度正好相反。
