    Why does the speaker ask us to consider “turning off a light switch”?
    A

    To show that the climate system is sensitive to light.

    B

    To illustrate the sudden move from one climate state to another.

    C

    To demonstrate how to operate the light switch.

    D

    To explain how the operating mode works under increasing pressure.


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    录音中明确提到“To help understand this sudden move from one state to another, consider turning off a light switch.”，所以说话者让我们考虑“关灯”是为了帮助我们理解从一种状态到另一种状态的突然转变，所以选B。
    【录音原文】
    　　All life on earth ultimately depends on the oceans, which cover 71 percent of the planet. These vast basins of water provide most of the oxygen in our atmosphere, and microscopic plants absorb millions of tons of carbon dioxide each day. This watery region is also home to the coral reefs. Coral reefs are extremely important for biodiversity, it provides habitats to over 25% of all marine life. However, coral bleaching is threatening many of the world’s coral reefs which could be killed within our lifetime. The seas also hold a precious food resource, providing 80 million metric tons of food a year through fishing. People recognize that climate-related variations are playing an important role in deciding the productivity of several fisheries.
    　　Waters are freshening from increased Arctic runoff and rainfall, from melt of Antarctic ice shelves and reduced sea-ice formation. This will slow the thermohaline circulations of the North Atlantic and Southern Oceans and reduce the circulation of deep waters. The thermohaline circulation is sometimes called the global conveyor belt. Unlike the atmosphere, which is characterized by turbulent weather systems, the deep waters are fairly stable. This is because it is heated from above, in contrast to the atmosphere, which is heated from below. However, the Earth’s climate system has sensitive thresholds and pushed past a threshold, the system can jump quickly from one stable operating mode to a completely different one. To help understand this sudden move from one state to another, consider turning off a light switch. The slowly increasing pressure of a finger pushes on the switch until it flips over and immediately plunges the room into darkness.
