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
【C10】
选项
答案O
解析 空格前面有形容词some和介词of，空格后面有needed to get started这样的定语修饰，因此，空格处需要填入名词，符合句意且可以与take搭配使用的名词为steps“步骤”，take steps意思为“采取行动”，因此steps为答案。名词备选词中，能够构成take some of这样结构的只有steps，其他名词均不能与take some of共用，构成符合文章上下文意思的表达，因此均可排除。
