Rich states, no longer strangers to periodic blackouts (断电), are worried about【C3】______of energy supply.

选项
A、provoked
B、pleased
C、suffered
D、plagued
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。根据文中提到的“经济危机”的社会背景,推测本句应该是说明停电对一些国家造成的负面影响。因此选D)plagued“被……折磨”。A)provoked“被……激怒”和B)pleased“被……愉悦”,一般都用于描述人;C)suffered“遭受痛苦”,通常与from搭配,且与句中的被动语态搭配句意不通顺。
