问题     Critics of renewable energy often argue that wind and solar power are "boutique’’’ (精品) energy sources that could never【C1】________the world’s energy needs, but one new report has found that solar power could【C2】________all of the energy needed in many parts of the world. The report, which was produced by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), along with First Solar, 3TIER and Fresh Generation, found that in seven case studies, less than 1 percent of【C3】________land mass would be required to meet 100 percent of projected electricity demand in 2050, demonstrating that solar power is indeed a feasible energy source in many parts of the world.
    The new report, Solar PV Atlas: solar power in【C4】________with nature, finds that solar energy production doesn’t have to be at odds with environmental conservation. For the study, WWF and its partners looked at Indonesia, Madagascar, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa and Turkey. Although they represent diverse populations and【C5】________, those countries and regions all have one thing in common: they all receive【C6】________sunshine. But sunshine isn’t the only thing needed to produce solar energy; government policies that are【C7】________ (or at least open) to renewable energy are also necessary, and "there is room for optimism in each of the selected regions," according to the report.
    In 2010, 16.7 percent of global energy【C8】________was produced by renewable sources, but solar accounts for just 0.1 percent of total global electricity generation. The report acknowledges that it’s unlikely that all of the electricity in any of those countries will come【C9】________by 2050, but it says that the "100 percent" scenario would be possible with【C10】________disruption to the environment. What would be more feasible, the report suggests, would be to provide somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 percent of global electricity production from solar by 2050.
    A) connection   E) entirely   I) minimal    M) provide
    B) consumer     F) favorable  J) naturally  N) satisfy
    C) consumption  G) harmony    K) plentiful  O) total
    D) economies    H) merely     L) promise
【C5】
选项
答案D
解析 名词辨义题。空格前为and，空格后为逗号，可见空格处应填入一个名词，与and前的populations构成并列关系。根据文中含义“虽然代表不同的人口和________状况”。备选词汇中，connection明显不符合此处语境；promise也可用作名词，但显然不能与此处空格前面的populations并列使用；consumption和consumer。只是讨论消费问题，economies表示的范围就大得多，且符合题意，故选D。
