How people and nature 24 climate change will determine how seriously it affects human health.
答案：(C) adapt to
adapt to climate change（適應氣候變遷）表示人類與自然如何適應氣候變遷，將決定其對人類健康的影響程度；result from（起因於）、count on（依賴）、stand for（代表）均不符合此處語意。
adapt 與 adopt 只差一個字母，你的印象大概混在一起；而且四個選項都是「動詞加介系詞」，形態一樣，刷不掉。
答對率不到五成。先看主詞與後面接的東西：主詞是 people and nature（人與自然），空格後面是 climate change（氣候變遷）。人與自然面對氣候變遷能做的事，是去配合它、調整自己，也就是 adapt to（適應）。填進去讀成 How people and nature adapt to climate change（人與自然如何適應氣候變遷）。順帶把兩個形近字分清楚：adapt 是「適應、改編」（adapt to a new environment），adopt 是「採用、收養」（adopt a new policy、adopt a child）。
result from（起因於）方向剛好相反——氣候變遷不是人與自然造成的結果，而是他們要面對的那件事；count on（依賴、指望）後面接的是可以依靠的人或事，沒有人會指望氣候變遷；stand for（代表、象徵）後面接的是被代表的那個意思。
adapt to（適應）、adopt（採用；收養）、cope with（應付、處理）、result from（起因於）、count on（依賴、指望）、stand for（代表、象徵）。
Average global temperature has increased by almost 1°F over the past century. Scientists expect it to increase an 21 2° to 6°F over the next one hundred years. This may not sound like much, but it could change the Earth's climate as 22 before.
Climate change may affect people's health both directly and indirectly. For instance, heat stress and other heat-related health problems are caused directly by very warm temperatures. 23, human health can also be affected by ecological disturbances, changes in food and water supplies, as well as coastal flooding.
