The price of coal has doubled. Countries as far apart as South Africa and Tajikistan are【C2】______by power cuts. Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts (断电), are worried about【C3】______of energy supply. In the developing world, 1. 6 billion people—around a quarter of the human race—have no【C4】______to electricity.
I believe that fundamental changes are【C5】______in the energy field whose significance we have not yet fully grasped.

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、Roughly
B、Frankly
C、Hardly
D、Basically
答案
B
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B)Frankly“坦率地,诚实地”,最符合作者的观点。A)Roughly“粗略地”;C)Hardly“几乎不”;D)Basically“基本地,主要地”。
