问题     There’s no question that the Earth is getting hotter. The real questions are: How much of the warming is our fault, and are we【C1】______to slow the devastation by controlling our insatiable【C2】______for fossil fuels? Global warming can seem too【C3】______to worry about, or too uncertain-something projected by the same computer【C4】______that often can’t get next week’s weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldn’t be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about climate change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and【C5】______our lifestyles. Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some【C6】______news. From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Globally, the temperature is up 1°F over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren’t pretty. Ice is【C7】______. rivers are running dry, and coasts are【C8】______. threatening communities. The【C9】______are happening largely out of sight. But they shouldn’t be out of mind, because they are【C10】______of what’s in store for the rest of the planet.
A)remote B)techniques C)consisting D)omens E)willing
F)restrict G)skill H)appetite I)melting J)vanishing
K)eroding L)discomforting M)curiosity N)changes O)skillful [br] 【C6】

选项

答案 L

解析 空格后面是个名词news,此处只能填形容词,在剩下的两个形容词discomforting和skillful中,只有discomforting可以修饰news。从另外一个角度,句子前面的信息有Comfortingthoughts,perhaps,Unfortunately,however转折后面的表述应该与Comforting相反,也可以知道此处只能填discomforting。
