问题     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 such a link. Many experts believe the faster the climate changes, the greater the risk 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 precipitation, that some land areas in the tropics will see more rainfall, and that there will generally be more hot days over land areas. [br] IPCC probably does not________.
选项 A、analyse climate change information
B、record weather changes on its premises
C、predict what is to happen to the earth
D、collect weather date from many countries
答案 B
解析 题目问IPCC的职责不包括哪一个。通读全文可知，政府间气候变化专门委员会的职责有评估有关气候变化的相关信息，研究人类对气候的影响，预测全球气候变化等，由此可知B项“记录其所在地的天气变化”不正确，范围过于狭隘，故答案为B项。A项“分析气候变化信息”、C项“预测地球将会发生什么事情”和D项“收集许多国家的天气数据”均在原文中有所体现，可排除。
