问题 What’s the main idea of the news item?
(2)This year is on track to be one of the hottest, if not the hottest, year on record, a UN agency reported Wednesday, citing preliminary estimates. The estimates were released by the World Meteorological Organization to coincide with annual climate change negotiations taking place in Lima, Peru.
    "What we saw in 2014 is consistent with what we expect from a changing climate. Record-breaking heat combined with rainstorm and floods destroyed livelihoods and ruined lives.
     (3)According to the organization, estimates for this year show the average air temperature over land and sea for January-October was about 0.57 degrees Centigrade above the average of 14.00 degrees C for the 1961-1990 reference period, and 0.09 degrees C above the average for the past 10 years.
    If the rest of 2014 plays out as expected, this year will be the hottest on record, ahead of 2010, 2005 and 1998.

选项 A、2014 has witnessed the changing climate.
B、2014 is likely to be the hottest year on record.
C、Natural disasters destroyed livelihoods and ruined lives.
D、2014 has witnessed more rainstorms and floods than ever.

答案 B

解析 本题考查新闻主旨。根据句(2)可知,周三一家联合国机构根据初步估计报道,今年即使不是最热的一年,也有可能是有记录以来最热的一年之一。接下来的内容也都围绕为什么说2014年可能是有记录以来最热的一年展开,故答案为[B]。
