For miles around, the neighborhoods were empty and silent. Stores were dark, schools closed, sidewalks empty. At corners, the stoplights were【C1】______ and blank, but it didn’t really matter since only【C2】______ cars ventured out.
The jarring, still-life scenes across parts of three Massachusetts towns on Friday followed a chaotic, cacophonous night of【C3】______ and gas-fueled fires that killed one person, 【C4】______ more than 20 others, left behind charred homes and piles of rubble, and【C5】______ thousands of people from their homes.

Weary residents, some of【C9】______ are staying in shelters, complained that the company had failed to explain【C10】______ caused the explosions or to quickly make repairs. Gov. Charlie Baker declared a【C11】______ of emergency. The step was needed, he indicated, to remove Columbia Gas from leading the repair of the gas lines. Announcing that he was turning the efforts【C12】______ to a different gas company, Eversource, the governor was pointed in【C13】______ criticism of Columbia Gas.
Mr. Baker said the gas company was "inadequately prepared" for the【C14】______ of the explosions.

During a brief and testy news conference later, Steve Bryant, the company’s president, declined to go【C17】______ details about what had caused the explosions and defended the company’s handling of the aftermath.
"We are sorry and deeply【C18】______ about the inconvenience, "he said."This is the sort of thing that a gas distribution company hopes never happens."

选项
A、which
B、that
C、how
D、why
答案
B
解析
本题考查关系从句。此处that引导同位语从句,是对possibility这一抽象名词的解释与说明,同位语从句只能用that引导。这一句句子较长,第一个that修饰possibility,第二个that引导定语从句,先行词为pressure,it was moving through为省略了that的定语从句,修饰pipelines。这句话的意思是:有关当局正在调查这一可能性,即天然气对输送它的管道来说压力太大了,导致这三个城镇的8500多户家庭和企业受到连锁危机。答案为B。
