According to new government figures, pollution levels are rising again after several years of gradual decline.
Data【C1】______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.
Administration officials said the【C6】______was not particularly surprising given the improving economy, and some pointed to one of the report’s bright spots: Even as the economy expanded, carbon【C7】______from automobiles have remained essentially flat, as more Americans switched to fuel-efficient cars and trucks.
Some also cited another【C8】______trend in the report: Big jumps in the use of alternative and renewable【C9】______. Solar, wind and hydropower were up more than 7 percent compared with two years ago, according to the report, and renewable sources now【C10】______for nearly 12 percent of the country’s domestic energy production.
A)abruptly
B)account
C)accumulation
D)cited
E)confirm
F)confronting
G)emissions
H)encouraging
I)energy
J)gradually
K)identify
L)increase
M)outstanding
N)recovering
O)released [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
N
解析
空格位于不定冠词a和名词economy之间,故应填入形容词或动词的现在分词形式作定语。该句中as引导的原因状语从句指出,美国的企业消耗更多的天然气和石油以满足更高的需求,说明美国的经济处于复苏阶段,故空格处应填入动词recover的现在分词形式recovering“正在恢复的”。备选的形容词中,encouraging“令人鼓舞的”和outstanding“杰出的,显著的”均不符合文意,故排除。
