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] 【C9】
选项
答案 E
解析 副词辨义题。空格前为will come，空格后为时间状语by 2050，可知空格处应填入一个副词。再根据句意“到2050年上述所有国家都可以________用上太阳能发电是不太可能的事情”，可知此处应填入表示“完全”这一含义的词，entirely符合文意，故选E。
