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.

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】______.
【C10】
选项
A、push back
B、push down
C、push up
D、push toward
答案
C
解析
文章一开始就说英国经济在快速增长,第4句提到Ofgem预测在经济增长的前提下高峰电力需求和可用供电量之间的差额会下降,也就是说,经济增长会推动需求,即消费的增长,所以空格处选C项push up“消费”。
