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.

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】______.
【C19】
选项 A、discord
B、content
C、discontent
D、discomfort
答案C
解析 discord“不一致、纷争”；content“满意”；discontent“不满”；discomfort“不舒服、尴尬”。由上文“Rising electricity priceswould cause…(电价上涨将会导致…)”可推知，此处的意思是“公众不满”。选项A，B和D均不适合。所以，本题选择C。
