Clean energy has been given greater prominence than ever before; it is seen as a new industrial【23】and【24】of economic growth for the new century. The time for clean energy has come.
    In China, clean energy is moving ahead at full speed. Take wind power as an example: by the end of last year, China had【25】wind power generating capacity of 12. 21GW, making China the largest wind power generator in Asia and fourth in the world.

选项 A、provident
B、providential
C、providing
D、provided
答案D
解析 provident“精打细算的、未雨绸缪的”；providential“及时的、适时的”；providing“如果、假如”；provide“提供、供应”。本句“This will only change if the funds and technology to develop clean energy，such as wind and nuclear power，are provided．”的意思是“只有为印度提供资金和技术，发展风能、核能等新能源，这种情况才能有所改变。”选项A，B和C均不适合。所以，本题选择D。
