问题     The fact is, the world has been finding less oil than it has been using for more than twenty years now. Not only has demand been【C1】______, but the oil we have been finding is coming from places that are【C2】______to reach. At the same time, more of this newly【C3】______oil is of the type that requires a greater investment to【C4】______. And because demand for this precious resource will grow, according to some, by over 40 percent by 2025, fueling the world’s economic【C5】______will take a lot more energy from every possible source.
    The energy industry needs to get more from existing fields while continuing to search for new【C6】______. Automakers must continue to improve fuel efficiency and perfect hybrid(混合动力的)vehicles. Technological improvements are needed so that wind, solar and hydrogen can be more【C7】______parts of the energy equation. Governments need to formulate energy policies that promote【C8】______and environmentally sound development. Consumers must be willing to pay for some of these solutions, while practicing conservation efforts of their own.
    Inaction is not an【C9】______. So let’s work together to balance this equation. We are taking some of the【C10】______needed to get started, but we need your help to go the rest of the way.

C)declining K)option
D)derived L)refine
E)difficult M)reserves
F)discovered N)soaring
G)economically O)steps
H)exception
【C3】
选项
答案F
解析 空格处前面有副词newly，后面有名词oil，因此需要填入形容词来修饰名词oil。第一段第二句中提到了the oil we have been finding，与之相对应，此处所提到的oil也应该是“新发现的”，因此填入discovered“发现的”符合句意。此处，discover的过去分词形式作定语，表示oil是“被发现的”。在备选的形容词中，有两个形容词结构相似，derived和discovered，都是动词的过去分词作定语，但derived的意思为“得到的，来自的”，与第二句中的finding一词不符，可以排除。
