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】______.

选项
A、advantage
B、difference
C、variety

解析
本文的主题是“电力的需求和供给的差额在缩小,停电风险在增大”。本段空格前提到,受欧洲环保法的影响,煤炭发电厂将很快关闭,结合主题推断,可再生能源发电也不能弥补这种差距,故选B项difference“差距”。
