办法不是要进一步建造更大、更高的水坝，这往往会导致更严重的洪

水。相反，要更多地利用自然过程”以及最后一段最后一句

“虽然现在避免气候变化的影响为时已晚，但我们可以通过加大对此类

基于自然的水利解决方案的投资来避免最糟糕的影响”和其他段落内容

可知，文章以灾害引入，进而举例提到用基于自然的方法解决问题，

结尾呼吁对自然方法的投资，所以C项一语双关，既指自然方法提供出

路，又指把水通过自然方式导出去。故选C。;1.inconsequenceof由于；因为2.severeadj.极为恶劣的；十分严重的

3.boostv.使增长；使兴旺4.capacityn.容量；容积；容纳能力

5.flexibilityn.灵活性；弹性；???性6.intenseadj.很大的；十分强烈的;Ⅱ.七选五;Duringtheearthquake;Aftertheearthquake
