问题     Critics of renewable energy often argue that wind and solar power are "boutique’’’ (精品) energy sources that could never【C1】________the world’s energy needs, but one new report has found that solar power could【C2】________all of the energy needed in many parts of the world. The report, which was produced by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), along with First Solar, 3TIER and Fresh Generation, found that in seven case studies, less than 1 percent of【C3】________land mass would be required to meet 100 percent of projected electricity demand in 2050, demonstrating that solar power is indeed a feasible energy source in many parts of the world.
    The new report, Solar PV Atlas: solar power in【C4】________with nature, finds that solar energy production doesn’t have to be at odds with environmental conservation. For the study, WWF and its partners looked at Indonesia, Madagascar, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa and Turkey. Although they represent diverse populations and【C5】________, those countries and regions all have one thing in common: they all receive【C6】________sunshine. But sunshine isn’t the only thing needed to produce solar energy; government policies that are【C7】________ (or at least open) to renewable energy are also necessary, and "there is room for optimism in each of the selected regions," according to the report.
    In 2010, 16.7 percent of global energy【C8】________was produced by renewable sources, but solar accounts for just 0.1 percent of total global electricity generation. The report acknowledges that it’s unlikely that all of the electricity in any of those countries will come【C9】________by 2050, but it says that the "100 percent" scenario would be possible with【C10】________disruption to the environment. What would be more feasible, the report suggests, would be to provide somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 percent of global electricity production from solar by 2050.
    A) connection   E) entirely   I) minimal    M) provide
    B) consumer     F) favorable  J) naturally  N) satisfy
    C) consumption  G) harmony    K) plentiful  O) total
    D) economies    H) merely     L) promise [br] 【C3】
选项
答案 O
解析 形容词辨义题。空格前是介词of。空格后是land mass，由此可知空格处应填入一个形容词，修饰land mass。根据文中含义“只需不足________陆地面积1％的占地就可以满足100％的预期电力需求”可判断此处应填入表示“总，完全”之意的词，total land mass表示“总陆地面积”，符合语境，故选O。
