问题     World leaders need to take action on the energy crisis that is taking shape before our eyes. Oil prices are【C1】______and it looks less and less likely that this is a bubble. The price of coal has doubled. Countries as far apart as South Africa and Tajikistan are【C2】______by power cuts. Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts (断电), are worried about【C3】______of energy supply. In the developing world, 1. 6 billion people—around a quarter of the human race—have no【C4】______to electricity.
    I believe that fundamental changes are【C5】______in the energy field whose significance we have not yet fully grasped. Global【C6】______for energy is rising fast as the population increases and developing countries such as China and India【C7】______dramatic economic growth. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says the world’s energy needs could be 50%【C8】______in 2030 than they are today. Yet the fossil fuels on which the world still depends are【C9】______and far from environmentally friendly. Serious thought needs to be given now to creating feasible【C10】______. The need for coordinated political action on energy and related【C11】______—climate change and alleviating poverty, to name but two—has never been more【C12】______. Yet there is no global energy【C13】______in which the countries of the world can agree【C14】______joint solutions to the potentially enormous problems we see【C15】______.
    So does the world really need yet another international organization?【C16】______, yes. A global energy organization would【C17】______, not replace, bodies already active in the energy field. It would bring a vital inter-governmental【C18】______to bear on issues that cannot be left to【C19】______forces alone, such as the development of new energy technology, the role of nuclear power, and innovative solutions for reducing pollution and greenhouse gas【C20】______
【C16】
选项 A、Roughly
B、Frankly
C、Hardly
D、Basically
答案B
解析 副词辨析题。上一段提到，目前没有全球性的能源机构。本段首句就提出世界是否需要另一个国际性的机构来解决能源问题。结合句中的yes可知，本句是对上一句所提问题的肯定回答。因此空格处的副词修饰全句。文中作者一直在强调采取行动解决能源问题的必要性，由此确定B)Frankly“坦率地，诚实地”，最符合作者的观点。A)Roughly“粗略地”；C)Hardly“几乎不”；D)Basically“基本地，主要地”。
