问题     The EU’s climate chief is seeking to extend the bloc’s renewable energy targets, in a move apparently designed to protect the green energy sector from an intensifying attack by the gas industry.
    This is the first time the European commission has【C1】______the issue of official targets beyond 2020, when the current commitment—to【C2】______20% of energy from renewable sources—expires. An extension would boost the renewable energy industry【C3】______lobbying efforts by the gas industry, which is trying to rebrand gas【C4】______a cheaper "green" alternative to renewables. In its【C5】______to push this line, the gas industry has held a series of high-level meetings with senior【C6】______in the European commission and the European parliament,
    【C7】______with the governments of member states. Connie Hedegaard, the climate change commissioner in Brussels, is【C8】______at the lobbying, and is determined to maintain Europe’s【C9】______in developing renewable energy and clean technology. "We should be looking to avoid a lock-in to fossil fuels," she said. "We should be discussing a renewable energy target for 2030. We need to have【C10】______targets. It would be one way to send a long-term price【C11】______for renewable energy—that renewable energy is not just going to stop growing after 2020."
    The push to extend the target is likely to be【C12】______by some member states who fought hard against the 2020 targets when they were unveiled in early 2007. Poland is known to be concerned that its heavy【C13】______on coal may attract penalties, and Italy has a history of【C14】______climate targets. An official in the department of Gunther Oettinger, the EU commissioner for energy, said no targets were【C15】______needed for later. He is also against raising the current target to【C16】______emissions from 20% by 2020 to 30%,【C17】______some member states—including the UK, France and Germany-have proposed.
    In its "Roadmap to 2050", the European commission【C18】______that the share of low-carbon technologies—【C19】______renewables, nuclear power, and carbon capture and【C20】______—in the electricity mix would have to rise to 75% or 80% by 2030.
【C20】
选项 A、presentation
B、maintenance
C、storage
D、expenditure
答案C
解析 此处用于解释低碳技术的具体内容，从空格前的capture(开发，获取)及连词and可知，空格后所填名词应与capture并列，而且能用于描述低碳技术，故选C项storage“储存”。
