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.
A)consequently I)feasible
B)cultivate J)growth
C)declining K)option
D)derived L)refine
E)difficult M)reserves
F)discovered N)soaring
G)economically O)steps
H)exception
【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。
