　　答案解析

　　1. K 分析句子结构，空处为句子的主语，且stressed(强调)的主语应该是人，故应填表示人的名词。此句意为：但是参与墨西哥对话的 也重点强调了政治和气候变化科学的巨大差异。结合选项中的名词，delegates最合 适，意为“代表团成员”。 

　　分析句子结构，空处是句子的谓语动词，应填动词过去式。上一句提到， 一些人没有想到谈判的氛围非常积极，由此推测此处填入doubted最合适， 表示没有人再“怀疑”气候科学的现实性。

　　分析句子结构，far greater 为从句的主语，故空处应填一个名词。此句意为：国际能源署提到现存的技术就能让我们达到很多的目标，尽管还需要更多的 。接着下一句就提到了 “投资计划”，由此可知填入 investment “投资”符合句意。

　　根据句子结构，句子缺少谓语，空处应填动词过去式。根据空后出现的 framework—词，推测应填入outlined，表示“勾勒框架”。

　　空格前为定冠词，空格后为名词，判断此处应填一个形容词。根据上下文 文意，此处要表达的是：不让发展中国家走西方国家的脏乱的污染道路， 故dirty最合适。

　　分析句子结构， by the U.K. Chancellor Gordon Brown作后置定语，

　　修饰investment programme，by—词暗示应该用过去分词。结合选项，the U.K. Chancellor应该是announced(宣布)投资计划。

　　分析句子结构，when asked if…是省略了主语和be动词的结构，主句的主语是the delegate，从句不缺主谓成分，故推测应填副词。由本句开 头的But可知相对应前一句，本句含义发生了转折，副词选项中只有 informally含义合适，表示“非正式地”。

　　分析句子结构，the delegate replied “no”不缺主谓充分，判断此处应填一个副词。此处意为“美国代表 地答复了‘不会’”，由此可知填入economically合适，意为“经济地，节约地”，言外之意在说明美国官员对 于问题的回答很粗略，不详细。
