[解析] 本题为组织结构题，要求考生能够辨认出讲座内容的要点、细节、例证，注意到表示介绍、结论、话题转换的语言提示，从而把握讲话内容的组织结构。题目问：教授提到的“temporary flooding of coastal areas”指的是什么 弄清楚教授在提及此概念时所说的“I’m not talking about flooding as a result of increased rainfall, though that’s another consideration I’ll come to it later. For now，I’m talking about flooding as a result of higher tides. Think about it, the swamping of the storm water drainage system. What’s that gonna do to the street you’re living in (我这里要说的泛洪不是指降雨增多引起的泛洪，虽然这是我一会儿要讲到的内容。我要说的泛洪是指因为潮水升高而引起的泛洪。想象一下，雨水排泄系统被淹没的样子，那将会为你所居住的街道带来怎样的结果 )”从这段话中各要点间的关系结构，我们知道，选项A、B、D是教授没谈的问题，而选项C是他正在谈的问题，所以选项C为正确答案。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
