问题     The EU’s climate chief is seeking to extend the bloc’s renewable energy targets, in a move apparently designed to protect the green energy sector from an intensifying attack by the gas industry.
    This is the first time the European commission has【C1】________the issue of official targets beyond 2020, when the current commitment—to【C2】________20% of energy from renewable sources—expires. An extension would boost the renewable energy industry【C3】________lobbying efforts by the gas industry, which is trying to rebrand gas【C4】________a cheaper "green" alternative to renewables. In its【C5】________to push this line, the gas industry has held a series of high-level meetings with senior【C6】________in the European commission and the European parliament,【C7】________with the governments of member states.
    Connie Hedegaard, the climate change commissioner in Brussels, is【C8】________at the lobbying, and is determined to maintain Europe’s【C9】________in developing renewable energy and clean technology. "We should be looking to avoid a lock-in to fossil fuels," she said. "We should be discussing a renewable energy target for 2030. We need to have【C10】________targets. It would be one way to send a long-term price【C11】________for renewable energy—that renewable energy is not just going to stop growing after 2020."
    The push to extend the target is likely to be【C12】________by some member states who fought hard against the 2020 targets when they were unveiled in early 2007. Poland is known to be concerned that its heavy【C13】________on coal may attract penalties, and Italy has a history of【C14】________climate targets. An official in the department of Giinther Oettinger, the EU commissioner for energy, said no targets were【C15】________needed for later. He is also  against  raising  the  current  target  to【C16】________emissions from  20% by 2020 to  30%,【C17】________some member states—including the UK, France and Germany— have proposed.
    In its  "Roadmap to 2050", the European commission【C18】________that the share of low-carbon technologies—【C19】________renewables, nuclear power, and carbon capture and【C20】________—in the electricity mix would have to rise to 75% or 80% by 2030.
【C13】
选项 A、production
B、storage
C、cost
D、reliance
答案D
解析 波兰反对扩大可再生能源目标，原因是跟传统能源煤(coal)有关。所填入的名词还必须跟heavy和on搭配，故选D项reliance“依赖”，意为“严重依赖”。如果此目标得到延长，那么对煤矿的严重依赖可能招致处罚，所以波兰很忧虑。A项production“生产”和B项storage“存储”都不能用heavy来修饰。heavy与cost搭配意为“巨大的成本；沉重的代价”，但其后通常不与on连用，不选C项cost。
