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】______.

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.

Renewable capacity cannot yet make up the【C20】______.
【C1】
选项
A、therefore
B、likewise
C、otherwise
D、however
答案
D
解析
空格前面用否定副词not引出与文章第1句语义相反的句子,起到强调对比的作用。所以空格处应选择用于引出前后对比的副词作插入语,故选D项however“然而”。
