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.

A、witnesses
B、expects
C、enjoys
D、composes
答案
B

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”。
