问题     Besides climate change, developing countries like China need to deal with energy【C1】______and environmental issues: the development of sources of clean energy needs to be【C2】______line with their interests. Clean energy has been given greater prominence than ever before; it is seen as a new industrial【C3】______and【C4】______of economic growth for the new century. The time for clean energy has come.
    In China, clean energy is moving ahead at full speed. Take wind power as an example: China had【C5】______wind power generating capacity of 12.21 GW, making China the largest wind power generator in Asia and fourth in the world. But according to the research, one-third of wind power capacity is running【C6】______due to an inability to get the power to the national【C7】______.
    India-like China—relies【C8】______on coal for its energy needs. This will only change if the funds and technology to develop clean energy, such as wind and nuclear power, are【C9】______. India will not choose clean energy【C10】______. Nuclear power is currently the most【C11】______of clean energy sources.【C12】______, if it is to be【C13】______on a large scale by developing nations, technological advances will be needed to make it competitive with coal.
    Compared【C14】______developed countries, developing countries have more【C15】______choices when it comes to energy structure. Promoting economic growth requires【C16】______energy—and coal, the cheapest and most【C17】______source of energy for many countries—is the【C18】______choice. Cheap coal means cheap electricity and a competitive economy. Rising electricity prices would cause public【C19】______and impact on standards of【C20】______.
【C11】
选项 A、cheapest
B、expensive
C、competitive
D、advanced
答案C
解析 cheapest“最便宜的”；expensive“最贵的”；competitive“最具有竞争力的”；advanced“先进的”。选项A，B和D在文章中均没有体现。由下旬的“technological advances will be needed tomake it competitive with coal．(通过进步技术使利用核能可以与煤炭竞争。)”可推知，在清洁能源中，核电是最有竞争力的，只是在与煤炭竞争时，还需要进步技术的帮助。所以，本题选择C。
