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.
【C16】
选项 A、shrink
B、eliminate
C、abandon
D、cut
答案D
解析 欧盟能源执委的这名官员反对延长此次的新能源目标，可推断他也反对(against)提升削减废弃物排放的目标，故此处应填D项cut“削减”。A项shrink“缩小”一般用作不及物动词，表示物体在体积、面积上的缩小，不用于搭配emission(排放物)。B项eliminate“消除”指的是彻底地根除掉，而这里只是将排放量降低20％的目标提高到30％，不可能100％消除。C项abandon通常指抛弃不该抛弃的东西，而这里的emissions是应该减少的东西。
