问题     The fact is, the world has been finding less oil than it has been using for more than twenty years now. Not only has demand been【C1】______, but the oil we have been finding is coming from places that are【C2】______to reach. At the same time, more of this newly【C3】______oil is of the type that requires a greater investment to【C4】______. And because demand for this precious resource will grow, according to some, by over 40 percent by 2025, fueling the world’s economic【C5】______will take a lot more energy from every possible source.
    The energy industry needs to get more from existing fields while continuing to search for new【C6】______. Automakers must continue to improve fuel efficiency and perfect hybrid(混合动力的)vehicles. Technological improvements are needed so that wind, solar and hydrogen can be more【C7】______parts of the energy equation. Governments need to formulate energy policies that promote【C8】______and environmentally sound development. Consumers must be willing to pay for some of these solutions, while practicing conservation efforts of their own.
    Inaction is not an【C9】______. So let’s work together to balance this equation. We are taking some of the【C10】______needed to get started, but we need your help to go the rest of the way.

C)declining K)option
D)derived L)refine
E)difficult M)reserves
F)discovered N)soaring
G)economically O)steps
H)exception [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 J
解析 空格后有情态动词will，空格所在部分为整句话的主语，而空格前又有形容词economic，由此可知空格处应该填入名词。空格所在句前半句提到对石油的需求会增长，因此，想要保证经济发展，所需要的燃料能源也会增加，这就需要从各方面来想办法。因此，growth“增长，发展”与文章意思相符，故为答案。在备选名词中，能够与economic搭配的词比较多，有growth，option和reserves，但是，economic option“经济选择”和economic reserves“经济储备”都不能与fueling搭配，表示支持或推动经济所需要的燃料，因此均可以排除。
