Scientists claim that air pollution causes a decline in the world’s average air temperature, In order to prove that theory, ecologists have turned to historical data in relation to especially huge volcanic eruptions. They suspect that volcanoes effect weather changes that are similar to air pollution.
One source of information is the effect of the eruption of Tambora, a volcano in Sumbawa, the Dutch East Indies (the former name of the Republic of Indonesia), in April 1815. The largest recorded volcanic eruption of Tambora threw 150 million tons of fine ash into the stratosphere. The ash from the volcano spreads worldwide in a few days and remains in the air for years. Its effect is to turn incoming solar radiation into space and thus cool the earth. For example, records of weather in England show that between April and November 1815, the average temperature had fallen 4.5°F. During the next twenty-four months, England suffered one of the coldest periods of its history. Farmers’ records from April 1815 to December 1818 indicate frost throughout the spring and summer and sharp decreases in crop and livestock markets. Since there was a time lag of, several years between cause and effect, by the time the world agricultural commodity community had deteriorated, no one realized the cause.
Ecologists today warn that we face a twofold menace. The ever-present possibility of volcanic eruptions, such as that of Mt. St. Helens in Washington, added to man’s pollution of the atmosphere with oil, gas, coal, and other polluting substances, may bring us increasingly colder weather. [br] No one realized the cause of the deterioration of the world agricultural commodity market because ______
选项
A、there was a long interval between cause and effect
B、the weather was difficult for us to forecast
C、weather forecasts were inaccurate
D、ecologists didn’t exist until modern times
答案
A
解析
本题询问细节。对应的语句为“Since there was a time lag of several years between cause and effect,by the time the world agricultural commodity community had deteriorated,no one realized the cause”。其中“a time lag of several years”就相当于A项中的“a long interval”(一段长时间的间隔)。
