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
【C6】
选项
答案M
解析 空格位于介词for和形容词new之后，所以需要填入名词形式，构成介词短语。空格前半句中提到，能源工业需要从现有地区开采更多石油，而同时，也需要搜寻并发现更多的新的41 ，由此可以推测空格处的意思应该是能够发现石油的地方，也就是石油储备地，因此空格处填入名词reserves，表示“储备”。名词备选词中，除exception外，都可以与new搭配，去除前面已经用掉的growth，还有option，reserves和steps可选，本空格处，search for new steps与句子意思不符，可以排除，而option一词填入本空虽然意思可以，但option是单数形式，新发现的石油不可能只有一处，因此排除。
