问题     The fact is, the world has been finding less oil than it has been using for more than twenty years now. Not only has demand been【C1】______, but the oil we have been finding is coming from places that are【C2】______to reach. At the same time, more of this newly【C3】______oil is of the type that requires a greater investment to【C4】______. And because demand for this precious resource will grow, according to some, by over 40 percent by 2025, fueling the world’s economic【C5】______will take a lot more energy from every possible source.
    The energy industry needs to get more from existing fields while continuing to search for new【C6】______. Automakers must continue to improve fuel efficiency and perfect hybrid(混合动力的)vehicles. Technological improvements are needed so that wind, solar and hydrogen can be more【C7】______parts of the energy equation. Governments need to formulate energy policies that promote【C8】______and environmentally sound development. Consumers must be willing to pay for some of these solutions, while practicing conservation efforts of their own.
    Inaction is not an【C9】______. So let’s work together to balance this equation. We are taking some of the【C10】______needed to get started, but we need your help to go the rest of the way.
A)consequently I)feasible
B)cultivate J)growth
C)declining K)option
D)derived L)refine
E)difficult M)reserves
F)discovered N)soaring
G)economically O)steps
H)exception
【C9】
选项
答案K
解析 空格位于简单句中，句子主语和系动词都有，还缺少一个表语，而空格前还有一个不定冠词an，因此，空格处需要填入以元音发音开头的名词单数。空格后句子中说let’s work together，因此，inaction就不应该是我们的选择，所以，option“选择”为答案。在备选的名词中，符合语法条件的只有两个，exception和option，Inaction is not an exception．“懈怠不是例外。”与上下文意思不符，因此可以排除。
