Warming due to the increase in greenhouse gases【C2】______determined so far. 【C3】______, projections of greenhouse warming do not rest on recent observations, they come from【C4】______understanding of the climate system. A【C5】______of simple and complex computer models【C6】______over the last 30 years to put together knowledge of many climate processes.
    【C7】______to some scientific opinion, current models do a reasonable job of【C8】______today’s climate. The difference between summer and winter temperatures, in【C9】______to change in heating from the Sun, is correctly stimulated to【C10】______about 0.5 degrees over much of the planet.【C11】______events provide additional tests of our understanding. For example, the scale and【C12】______of cooling due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo were【C13】______by climate models.
    When greenhouse gases are increased in climate models, the response is always an increase in average temperatures and water vapor. Models【C14】______in their result but, in virtually all【C15】______, doubling the amount of carbon dioxide increase global average temperatures【C16】______between 1. 5℃ and 4℃. Why are there some dissenting【C17】______heard on the science of climate change?【C18】______it【C19】______that critics are simply unaware of the depth of the science developed so far.
    Others are concerned【C20】______we do not understand everything about the climate system. [br] 【C9】

选项 A、addition
B、proper
C、response
D、due

答案 C

解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。in response to意为“作为对……的反应”,如:The quick recovery was truly in response to medication.这次迅速恢复确是对药物治疗的反应(即药物治疗取得了很好的疗效)。根据上下文,此处的含义为太阳提供的热量的变化引起了气温差异,后者是对前者变化的反应;另外,下一段首句出现了response这一重要线索,句中response表相似的情况——温室气体的增加使气温等发生相应变化,因此,选项response不论用法还是含义都符合题意,为正确答案。in addition to表示“除……之外,还”,如:In addition tothis job.she has got some part-time jobs occasionally.除了这个工作以外,她偶尔还做些兼职。含义与题意不符。选项proper,没有in proper to的结构,一般用作形容词,表示“名副其实的,真的”,如:What I wantedwas a proper dinner,not just a snack.我需要的是一顿真正的晚餐,而不仅仅是点心而已。可见无论用法还是含义都不合题意。选项due,没有in due to的结构,但有due to的结构,意为“归因于,由于”,如:Itis just a mistake due to carelessness.这只是一个由于粗心而犯的错误。此处无因果关系。因此,此选项含义与用法同样都不合题意。
