The price of coal has doubled. Countries as far apart as South Africa and Tajikistan are plagued by power cuts. Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts(断电), are worried about【C2】______of energy supply. In the developing world, 1. 6 billion people—around a quarter of the human race—have no access to electricity.
I believe that fundamental changes are underway in the energy field whose significance we have not yet fully grasped. Global【C3】______for energy is rising fast as the population increases and developing countries such as China and India【C4】______dramatic economic growth. The International Energy Agency(IEA)says the world’s energy needs could be 50% higher in 2030 than they are today. Yet the fossil fuels on which the world still depends are finite and far from environmentally friendly. Serious thought needs to be given now to creating feasible【C5】______. The need for coordinated political action on energy and related issues—climate change and alleviating poverty, to name but two—has never been more【C6】______. Yet there is no global energy【C7】______ in which the countries of the world can agree on joint solutions to the potentially enormous problems we see emerging.

选项
答案
M
解析
副词辨析题。上一段提到,目前没有全球性的能源机构。本段首句就提出世界是否需要另一个国际性的机构来解决能源问题。结合句中的yes可知,本句是对上一句所提问题的肯定回答,因此空格处的副词修饰全句。文中作者一直在强调采取行动解决能源问题的必要性,由此确定M)Frankly“坦率地,诚实地”最符合作者的观点。
