Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
Human beings have a superpower – sweating. When temperatures rise, beads of sweat exude from our pores and evaporate, releasing energy that cools the skin and keeps our bodies (26) _______ overheating. This self-cooling mechanism has helped humans spread to (27) _______ hot and humid corner of the globe. But that sweating superpower has a theoretical upper limit: When it gets too hot and humid, the laws of physics inhibit swear from cooling skin. That limit is hit when a bulb thermometer wrapped in a wet towel (a measure of heat and humidity (28) _______ is known as "wet-bulb" temperature) reads 35O Celsius, or 95O Fahrenheit. Even the fittest human supplied with unlimited water would probably die after a few hours in these conditions.
Scientists have thought that this temperature extreme occurs rarely, if ever, on Earth. (29)______ as the globe warms, wet-bulb temperatures around 35O C could become more common toward the end of the century in certain regions, endangering hundreds of millions of people.
If carbon emissions aren't (30) ______ curbed in the coming decades, these relatively rare extremes will become increasingly common. Such conditions are unbearable without technology like air conditioning and make outdoor labor near impossible.
The word or phrase which best fits the gap (30) is...
A. intensively
B. significantly
C. overwhelmingly
D. drastically

Căn cứ và nghĩa của câu:
If carbon emissions aren't (5) ______ curbed in the coming decades, these relatively rare extremes will become increasingly common. (Nếu lượng phát thải khí thải cacbon không được hạn chế đáng kể trong những thập kỷ tới, những thái cực tương đối hiếm này sẽ ngày càng trở nên phổ biến.)
→ ta có cụm từ drastically, greatly + curb: kìm, hạn chế mạnh mẽ, đáng kể.
