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.

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. [br] 【C14】
选项 A、instance
B、case
C、experience
D、evidence
答案 D
解析 名词辨析题。句意为：例如，一些研究人员出示的证据显示，由于气候变化，飓风更强烈了，但是一篇由一组专家鼎力支持的报道指出这样的论断欠成熟。本句是例证，支持上句中的观点，故答案为[D]evidence“证据”，为不可数名词，故为答案。[A]instance“例子”和[B]case“事例”均为可数名词，前面应该加上不定冠词；[C]experience“经历”，不符合语境。
