Skyscrapers are also enormous【C3】______. and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition【C4】______17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the【C5】______daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts — enough to【C6】______the entire city of Albany for a day.

选项
A、savers
B、consumers
C、losers
D、spenders
答案
B
解析
本题测试逻辑搭配。saver意为“救助者,俭省的人”:consumer意为“消费者,耗费者”:loser意为“失败者:遗失者”;spender意为“花钱者”。所填之词应该与后面的waster(挥霍者)的意思相近,所以应选B。
