问题     The world is running out of oil, and energy experts
believe that there could be serious shortages in ten years’
time. Not only is each individual using more oil than ever
before, as the standard of living in industrial countries
arises, but the population explosion means that each year                       【S1】______
many more people will be using oil in some form or other.
Until recently we took oil as granted: it seemed it would                       【S2】______
never stop flowing. It was so cheap and plentiful that the
whole world came to depending on it. Governments                                【S3】______
neglected other sources of energy. Electricity was
generated from oil and power stations were fired by it. It
found its way into much of the products of light industry.                      【S4】______
    Many people are surprising when they learn how many                         【S5】______
items in their homes contain oil. The increase in the price of oil
has brought the world to its senses. Governments are searching                  【S6】______
a suitable alternate, but so far in vain. They are considering                  【S7】______
how they can make better use of the two other major
fuels, coal and natural gas, but they have found that
neither can take place of oil in their economies. In recent                     【S8】______
years there has been a growing concern for the
environment, and coal is a popular fuel with environmentalists.                 【S9】______
Coal mines are ugly, and their development has a serious
effect on animal and plant life; coal itself is a heavy
pollution.                                                                      【S10】______ [br] 【S6】
选项
答案 searching∧→for
解析 本题是词义分析错误。search作及物动词一般指“搜寻某个地方”，search for才是“寻找某物”。
