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】______.

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 means many will have to close sooner than was【C16】______because European environmental laws【C17】______the total number of operating hours left to them.

Renewable capacity cannot yet make up the【C20】______.

选项
A、witnesses
B、expects
C、enjoys
D、composes
答案
B
解析
此段首句提到英国经济发展迅速,空格上一句用到过去式提及Ofgem曾对英国经济发展速度的预测(grow by…1.6%),空格所在句用到now…2.8% growth,可推断这里是英格兰银行现在的预测,所以选B项expects“期望,预料”。
