Skyscrapers are also enormous (23) , and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition (24) 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the (25) daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowatts-- enough to (26) the entire city of Albany for a day.

The heat loss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times (28) through a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain (29) heating and air-conditioning equipment, (30) of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses (31) with silver or gold mirror films that reduce (32) as well as heat gain. However, (33) skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and (34) neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put severe pressure on a city’s sanitation (35) , too.

选项
A、affect
B、assist
C、protect
D、benefit
答案
A
解析
本题测试词义搭配。affect意为“影响,对……起作用”;assist意为“帮助,援助”;protect意为“保护,保卫”;benefit意为“有利于,有助于”。前面的句子说raise the temperature of the surrounding air,所填之词的宾语是neighboring buildings,说明本句话讲的是摩天大楼的弊端,所以应选A。
