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.

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。
