问题      For millions of years, the changes in Earth’s climate have been driven by forces of nature. But for the last century and a half, Earth’s average temperature has been rising【C1】______ than any time in the past ten thou- sand years. The【C2】______ in science is that much of that change has been driven by us.The climate is not what it used to be. It’s not your grandfather’s climate anymore.
     The【C3】 ______ are everywhere: droughts in the American Southwest and Africa’s Sahara(撒哈拉),【C4】______ seas in Louisiana and Bangladesh (孟加拉国), tropical diseases spreading north and extremes of weather from Florida to France.
     There are people who still say global warming needn’t【C5】______ us. If it’s happening at all, it’s a natural trend, not much we can do about it. But there is now hard【C6】______ which shows that the warming is not only real. It’s【C7】______ . It’s altering the climate’s most basic elements like rainfall and evaporation, days of sunshine and nighttime temperatures. Those changes are【C8】______   the environments in the agricultural production,【C9】______ wild species with extinction and putting at risk our life styles, our health, and some of our favorite cities by the sea. We’ll follow the signs and see who i f anyone is responsible. We’ll meet scientists who are【C10】______ new climate evidence and we’ll see what we can do to help.
   A) worry            F) signs           K) faster
   B) rising           G) vast            L) consensus
   C) troubles         H) investigating   M) threatening
   D) quickly          I) dangers         N) damaging
   E) evidence         J) accelerating    O) concern [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 O
解析 从句法结构看，该题应填入一个动词，并且在情态动词needn’t之后应该为动词原形。选项中的A) worry和O)concern两个词符合这一句法要求。从语境看，下文提到If it’s happening at all，it’s a natural t rend，not much we can do about it很显然，意思是说有人认为全球气候变暖只是自然变化趋势所致，与人类无关。只有concern最符合。
