问题     Try to imagine what it is like to live without electricity. It is boring,【C1】______one thing—no television, no MP3 player, no video games. And you feel【C2】______and disconnected as well—no computer, no Internet, no mobile phone. You can read books, of course—【C3】______at night you won’t have light, other than the flicker (闪烁) of firewood. And about that firewood—you or someone in your family had to【C4】______it during the day, taking you away from more【C5】______work or schooling, and in some parts of the world, exposing you【C6】______danger. That same firewood is used to cook dinner,【C7】______smoke that can turn the air inside your home far more【C8】______than that breathed in an industrial city. You may lack access to modern drugs【C9】______the nearest hospital does not have continuous【C10】______to keep the medicine refrigerated. You are【C11】______poor—and the lack of electricity helps to【C12】______that you’ll stay that way.
    That is life for the 1. 3 billion people around the【C13】______who lack access to the grid (电网). It is a【C14】______problem of the developing world and the countryside—more than 95% of【C15】______without electricity are either in sub-Saharan Africa or developing Asia, and 84% live in rural areas.【C16】______it hasn’t gotten the attention that【C17】______problems like HIV/AIDS and water shortage have【C18】______in recent years, lack of power remains a major【C19】______to any progress in the world’s development.
    " Lacking access to electricity【C20】______health, well-being and income," says Fatih Birol, the chief economist of the International Energy Agency. " It’s a problem the world has to pay attention to. "
【C12】
选项 A、engage
B、insist
C、ensure
D、induce
答案C
解析 动词辨义。本句空格后是一个由that引导的从句，且从句中使用的将来时，单从语法上讲，能够接此类从句的动词就只有ensure。并且，从语义上讲，ensure“确保”，表示没有电的生活没有希望，人们无法改变这种状况。engage“参加”和induce“引诱”，不仅意思不合适，而且这两个词后面通常也不跟从句，可以排除；insist“坚持”后面虽然可以跟从句，但从句中一般使用should do形式的虚拟语气，可以排除。
