The price of coal has doubled. Countries as far apart as South Africa and Tajikistan are【C2】______by power cuts. Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts (断电), are worried about【C3】______of energy supply. In the developing world, 1. 6 billion people—around a quarter of the human race—have no【C4】______to electricity.
    I believe that fundamental changes are【C5】______in the energy field whose significance we have not yet fully grasped.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says the world’s energy needs could be 50%【C8】______in 2030 than they are today. Yet the fossil fuels on which the world still depends are【C9】______and far from environmentally friendly. Serious thought needs to be given now to creating feasible【C10】______. The need for coordinated political action on energy and related【C11】______—climate change and alleviating poverty, to name but two—has never been more【C12】______.

【C4】
选项 A、purchase
B、approach
C、reach
D、access
答案D
解析 名词辨析题。上一句提到了停电对富国的影响，本句进一步举例说明发展中国家的16亿人无电可用。同时此处要与空格后的to搭配使用，因此D)access(to)“使用(某种机会或权利)”，符合惯用搭配和句意。A)purchase“购买”和C)reach“伸手可及的范围”一般不与to搭配；B)approach“途径，方法”能与to搭配，但不符合句意。
