Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts (断电), are worried about【C3】______of energy supply.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says the world’s energy needs could be 50%【C8】______in 2030 than they are today. Yet the fossil fuels on which the world still depends are【C9】______and far from environmentally friendly. Serious thought needs to be given now to creating feasible【C10】______. The need for coordinated political action on energy and related【C11】______—climate change and alleviating poverty, to name but two—has never been more【C12】______.

选项
A、longer
B、less
C、higher
D、lower
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。本句说明国际能源机构对2030年年全球能源需求的估计。同时由旬中的than可知是对比2030与现在的情况。上一句提到全球对能源的需求在快速增长,由此推断2030年全球对能源的需求要比现在更高,因此C)higher符合上下文的语义。其他三项均不符合文意。
