B.Immediate adaptation measures are crucial to meet these challenges. C.The study indicates that global rainfall will still increase in the next century. D.To understand the causes of increased rainfall variability,the team furthered the research. E.It was also found that daily variability in global rainfall has increased by 1.2% per decade. F.The study was conducted by researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. G.Higher variability means that rainfall is more unevenly distributed over a period of time,leading to wet and dry periods.

suggests.”引出话题,即一项关于全球降雨不稳定性的新研究。F项介绍研究的实施者,与上文话题相关,且“the study”指代上文提到的“新研究”,为下文具体介绍研究内容做铺垫。故选F项。 2.G　上文“Rainfall variability refers to the unevenness of rainfall timing and rainfall amount.”解释了“降雨变异性”的含义。G项进一步解释“降雨变异性高”会带来什么结果,即降雨分布不均,导致干湿期交替,与上文构成逻辑上的递进关系。故选G项。 3.E　上文“By analyzing a wide range of observational data,the researchers found that rainfall variability has increased by about 75% since the 20th century across the land areas studied,especially in Europe,Australia and eastern North America.”给出了关于降雨变异性增加的具体数据。E项继续给出关于全球日降雨变异性的具体数据,与上文内容紧密相关,且“also found”表明这是另一项相关发现,丰富了研究内容。故选E项。 4.D　下文“They identified the dominant role of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.”指出研究团队确定了人为温室气体排放是导致降雨变异性增加的主要原因。D项说明研究团队为了找出原因而进一步研究了这个问题,引出下文中的研究结论,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。 5.B　上文“Large and rapid fluctuations between extreme climates not only challenge the existing capabilities of contemporary weather and climate prediction systems,but also have chain effects on human society,threatening the economic development,ecosystem functions and terrestrial carbon sinks.”指出了降雨变异性增加对人类社会构成的挑战。B项承接上文,提出应立即采取适应措施来应对这些挑战,上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了艺术家Raku Inoue通过植物创作各种动物和流行文化角色的艺术旅程。 1.B　根据空后“arranging flowers,leaves and other plant parts to 　　　pop
