问题     World leaders need to take action on the energy crisis that is taking shape before our eyes. Oil prices are【C1】______and it looks less and less likely that this is a bubble. The price of coal has doubled. Countries as far apart as South Africa and Tajikistan are plagued by power cuts. Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts(断电), are worried about【C2】______of energy supply. In the developing world, 1. 6 billion people—around a quarter of the human race—have no access to electricity.
    I believe that fundamental changes are underway in the energy field whose significance we have not yet fully grasped. Global【C3】______for energy is rising fast as the population increases and developing countries such as China and India【C4】______dramatic economic growth. The International Energy Agency(IEA)says the world’s energy needs could be 50% higher in 2030 than they are today. Yet the fossil fuels on which the world still depends are finite and far from environmentally friendly. Serious thought needs to be given now to creating feasible【C5】______. The need for coordinated political action on energy and related issues—climate change and alleviating poverty, to name but two—has never been more【C6】______. Yet there is no global energy【C7】______ in which the countries of the world can agree on joint solutions to the potentially enormous problems we see emerging.
    So does the world really need yet another international organization?【C8】______, yes. A global energy organization would complement, not replace, bodies already active in the energy field. It would bring a vital inter-governmental【C9】______to bear on issues that cannot be left to market forces alone, such as the development of new energy technology, the role of nuclear power, and innovative solutions for reducing pollution and greenhouse gas【C10】______.
A)demand F)perspective K)position
B)soaring G)emissions L)acute
C)institution H)alternatives M)Frankly
D)radiation I)alert N)access
E)undertake J)security O)undergo
【C10】
选项
答案G
解析 名词辨析题。根据语法，此处的名词能与句中的reducing和greenhouse gas构成语义上的惯用搭配，并与pollution形成并列，表示解决问题的目的。因此G)emissions“(光、热、烟、气等的)排放物”为正确答案。
