阅读理解-The word “cinch” (Line 3, Para. 1 ) most probably means______.

Add CO2to the atmosphere and the climate will get warmer—that much is well established. But climate change and carbon aren't in a one-to-one relationship. If they were, climate modeling would be a cinch. How much the globe will warm if we put a certain amount of CO2into the air depends on the sensitivity of the climate. How vulnerable is the polar sea ice; how rapidly might the Amazon dry up; how fast could the Greenland ice cap disintegrate? That's why models like those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change spit out a range of predictions for future warming, rather than a single neat number.　　One of the biggest questions in climate sensitivity has been the role of low-level cloud cover. Low-altitude clouds reflect some of the sun's radiation back into the atmosphere, cooling the earth. It's not yet known whether global warming will dissipate clouds, which would effectively speed up the process of climate change, or increase cloud cover, which would slow it down.　　But a new study published in the July 24 issue of Science is clearing the haze. A group of researchers from the University of Miami and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography studied cloud data of the northeast Pacific Ocean—both from satellites and from the human eye—over the past 50 years and combined that with climate models. They found that low-level clouds tend to dissipate as the ocean warms—which means a warmer world could well have less cloud cover. “That would create positive feedback, a reinforcing cycle that continues to warm the climate,” says Amy Clement, a climate scientist at the University of Miami and the lead author of the Sciencestudy.　　Getting data on cloud cover isn't easy. There is reliable information from satellites, but those only go back a few decades—not long enough to provide a reliable forecast for the future. Clement and her colleagues combined recent satellite data with human observations—literally, from sailors scanning the sky— that go back to 1952, and found the two sets were surprisingly in sync (harmony or harmonious relationship). “It's pretty remarkable,” says Clement. “We were almost shocked by the degree of concordance.”　　The data showed that as the Pacific Ocean has warmed over the past several decades—part of the gradual process of global warming—low-level cloud cover has lessened. That might be due to the fact that as the earth's surface warms, the atmosphere becomes more unstable and draws up water vapor from low altitudes to form deep clouds high in the sky. Those types of high-altitude clouds don't have the same cooling effect. The Sciencestudy also found that as the oceans warmed, the trade winds—the easterly surface winds that blow near the equator—weakened, which further dissipated the low clouds. The question now is whether this process will continue in the future, as the world keeps warming.(此文选自Time2009年刊)

阅读理解

A.a very easy thing.

B.a very complex thing.

C.a great challenge.

D.an extremely hard problem.

我个人认为这个应该是：A

解析：语义理解题。由题干关键词“cinch”定位至第一段climate change and carbon aren't in a one-to-one relationship. If they were, climate modeling would be a cinch，可知气候变化和碳之间并非存在一对一的关系，如果是一对一的关系的话，那就会变得非常容易，由此推知cinch表“容易，简单”，A为正确答案。 B、C和D都排除。
