So large is the Pacific, covering 30% of the planet’s surface, that the【C6】________energy generated by its warming is enough to touch off a series of weather changes around the world. El Nihos are【C7】________with abnormally dry conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia. They can lead to extreme rain in parts of North and South America, even as southern Africa【C8】________dry weather. Marine life may be affected too: El Nifios can【C9】________the rising of the cold, nutrient-rich (营养丰富的) water that supports large fish【C10】________, and the unusually warm ocean temperatures can destroy coral (珊瑚).
A) additional F) decades K) populations
B) associated G) experiences L) realize

选项
答案
J
解析
动词辨析题。空格位于主语El Nino之后,应填入动词作谓语。另外,本段时态用的是现在时,故可以将选择范围缩小至动词experiences和Occurs。本句解释什么是厄尔尼诺现象:当南太平洋表面海水温度异常升高时,厄尔尼诺现象就会________。因此,本空应填入表示“发生,出现”含义的词,故答案为occurs。
