The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up in 1988 to assess information on climate change and its impact. Its Third Assessment Report predicts global temperature rises by 2100 of between 1.4℃ and 5.8℃. Although the issue of the changing climate is very complex and some changes are uncertain, temperature rises are expected to affect countries throughout the world and have a knock-on effect with sea-level rises.
Scientists have argued about whether temperature rises are due to human activities or due to natural changes in our environment. The IPCC announced in 2001 that "most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is likely to be attributable to human activities". This was a more forceful statement than in 1996 when the Second Assessment Report stated that there was a "discernible human influence on the climate" which was the first time they had concluded

will be.
Key points of the projections for climate change globally include that by the second half of the 21st century, wintertime rainfall in the northern mid to high latitudes and Antarctica will rise, that meanwhile Australia, Central America and southern Africa are likely to see decreases in autumn

, that some land areas in the tropics will see more rainfall, and that there will generally be more hot days over land areas. [br] The risk mentioned in the text probably refers to________.
选项
A、a possibility that there will be more climate changes
B、a potential that sea level will possibly keep rising
C、temperature rises that are expected to affect all countries
D、a prediction warning human beings not to ruin the environment
答案
C
解析
题目问The risk可能指代的内容。根据题干The risk定位至第2段最后一句。该句提到,the faster the climate changes, the greater the risk will be “气候变化越快,风险就会越大”,紧接着第3段提到了世界各地出现的异常气候变化,由此可推断第3段是对the greater the risk will be的举例说明,因此C项“预计气温上升会影响所有的国家”正确。A项“可能会有更多的气候变化”、B项“海平面有可能继续上升”和D项“一项警告人类不要破坏环境的预测”均与语境不符,可排除。
