问题 By providing people with information about their electricity use — down to every plugged-in device in a home or business — they can make choices that save money and ______efficiency and convenience.

选项 A、maximize
B、intensify
C、compress
D、facilitate

答案 A

解析    (1)句子结构。
   By providing…为方式状语,两个破折号之间为解释说明部分,主句的结构为主动宾(SVO),其中主语为they, 谓语动词为can make,宾语为choices,that从句为定语从句,修饰choices。
   (2)选项词义。
   A.maximize vt.使……最大化;使(某事物)增至最大限度
   B.intensify vt.(使)增强(程度/力量);(使)加剧(程度/力量)
   C.compress vt.使压缩(空间);压紧;精简
   D.facilitate vt.帮助(行动/过程);使促进;助长;使容易
   本句大意为“为人们提供用电方面的信息——小到家庭或企业的每一个电源插头的信息——就可以帮助人们做出节能省钱的选择,使用电效率和便利最大化”。从上下文来看,这是有关用电方面的信息,既然是为了save money,就要在efficiency and convenience方面做到最佳,因此从词义来看,只有选项A最符合句意。
