选项 A、discoveries
B、recoveries
C、deposits
D、disclosure
答案C
解析 语义衔接题。前文提到由于各种原因导致对于能源需求的增加，而现有的天然气田在不断老化，因此人类必定将寻求新的能源储备。deposits指在岩层、矿脉或矿穴等处聚集的矿物质或沉淀物，如：iron ore deposits铁矿层；rich deposits of oil and natural gas石油和天然气的富矿层。discovery意为"发现"，尤指"获得知识或明白以前所不知的事情"；recovery意为"恢复，痊愈"；disclosure表示把未宣布的事情"透露"出来；这三个词与上下文无语义衔接关系。
