For most people Britain’s bouncing economy, now growing at its fastest for three years, is cause for cheer. Not,【C1】______for those who manage the country’s electricity power system. For them【C2】______growth means faster progress towards a critical situation. Ofgem, the energy regulator, has long【C3】______that the margin between peak electricity demand and【C4】______supply is falling. In June it said the margin would【C5】______from 14% in 2014 to just 4% in the winter of 2018, increasing the risk of blackouts【C6】______the weather turn cold or a power station or two【C7】______.
Since that report Britain’s economy has grown fast. Ofgem’s assessment【C8】______that Britain would grow by about 1.6% in 2017. The Bank of England now【C9】______2.8% growth. This will【C10】______consumption. Over the past decade an increase in peak electricity demand of 0.5%【C11】______each additional percentage point of economic growth. John Feddersen of Aurora Energy Research thinks the capacity margin will therefore【C12】______to 2.6% by 2018 unless action is taken. That【C13】______into a one-in-seven chance of shortages, up from the one-in-twelve chance【C14】______was thought most likely last summer.
Falling coal prices have kept Britain’s coal-fired power stations running at full【C15】______. That means many will have to close sooner than was【C16】______because European environmental laws【C17】______the total number of operating hours left to them. At the same time cheap coal has made electricity from gas uncompetitive,【C18】______operators to put some gas-fired plants into long-term【C19】______. Renewable capacity cannot yet make up the【C20】______.
【C8】
选项
A、achieved
B、assumed
C、approved
D、afforded
答案
B
解析
文章的首段从第4句开始提到了能源监管机构对英国未来经济快速发展给电力供应造成压力的分析预测,空格前面用assessment“评估”,后面是英国在2017年的增长速度,可推断Ofgem是在经过分析评估后提出对英国经济发展速度的“预测”,故选B项assumed“假设,认为”。
