    According to new government figures, pollution levels are rising again after several years of gradual decline.
    Data【C1】______ on Friday by the Energy Department show American factories and power plants putting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the first six months of 2014 compared with the same period in each of the past two years. The figures【C2】______ a reversal first seen in 2013, when the trend of steadily falling emissions【C3】______ halted.
    The higher emissions are primarily a reflection of a【C4】______ economy, as American businesses burned more gas and oil to meet higher demand. But the shift also highlights the challenge【C5】______ the Obama administration as it seeks to honor a pledge to sharply cut U. S. emissions of greenhouse gases by the end of the decade.

选项
答案 I
解析 空格位于所有格of后，且有两个形容词修饰，故应填入名词。下一句指出，根据报告，太阳能、风能和水电的使用比两年前高出了7％以上，由此可推断前一句提到的是可替换、可再生能源的使用大幅增加，故空格中应填入energy“能源”，因此[I]为答案。
