问题     With the world’ s population estimated to grow from six to nine billion by 2050, researchers, businesses and governments are already dealing with the impact, this increase will have on everything from food and water to infrastructure(基础设施)and jobs. Underling all this【C1】______will be the demand for energy, which is expected to double over the next 40 years.
    Finding the resources to meet this demand in a【C2】______, sustainable way is the cornerstone(基石)of our nation’ s energy security, and will be one of the major【C3】______of the 21st century. Alternative forms of energy-bio-fuels, wind and solar, to name a few—are【C4】______being funded and developed, and will play a growing【C5】______in the world’s energy supply.

[A]stable[B]solutions
[C]significant[D]role

【C9】

选项

答案K

解析 此处需填入谓语动词,结合复数形式的主语alternative energysources和句末的today,可知此处应该是动词原形。comprise和consist均有“包含,组成”之义,但consist需后接介词of才能跟宾语(此处1%是数词作宾语),故选Comprise。
