问题     At least some of the weather extremes being seen around the world are consequences of human-induced climate change and can be expected to worsen in coming decades. It is particularly likely that greenhouse gas emissions【C1】______ to human activity have already【C2】______ more record-high temperatures and fewer record lows,【C3】______to more extremes of rainfall and to greater coastal flooding. 【C4】______ inland flooding is getting worse because of human influence is 【C5】______. Nor can any firm conclusion be【C6】______ at this point about the human influence on hurricanes, typhoons, hail storms or tornadoes.
    The findings were【C7】______in Kampala, Uganda, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a high-profile United Nations body【C8】______to review and report periodically【C9】______ developments in climate research. The group won the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in 2007【C10】______later became a target of【C11】______ related to minor factual errors in a large report that it had issued that year. It has tightened its procedures【C12】______ preventing future errors. Indeed, the delegates meeting in Kampala【C13】______ scientifically cautious positions in some areas. For instance, some researchers have presented 【C14】______ suggesting that hurricanes are growing more【C15】______because of climate change, but the report sided with a group of experts who say that such a claim is premature.
    【C16】______, certain types of weather extremes will grow more numerous and more intense as human-induced global warming【C17】______in coming decades. Even as such extremes are projected to increase, human【C18】______ to them is increasing as well. Rising populations and 【C19】______ decisions about land use, like【C20】______ coastal development, are putting more and more people in harm’s way.
【C10】
选项 A、and
B、then
C、or
D、but
答案D
解析 逻辑关系题。句意为：这一组织和阿尔·戈尔在2007年一同获得了诺贝尔和平奖，但是后来因当年发表的一篇长篇报告中的较小的事实错误而成为争议的焦点。根据上下文可以看出，此处应该是表转折关系，故答案为[D]but。
