Skyscrapers are also enormous【C3】______. and wasters, of electric power.

选项
A、glass-walled
B、plastic-walled
C、concrete-walled
D、mirror-walled
答案
D
解析
本题测试词义搭配。glass-walled意为“玻璃墙”;plastic-walled意为“塑料墙”;concrete-walled意为“水泥墙”;mirror-walled意为“镜子墙”。本句话还是讲前面的with silver or gold mirror films装饰的摩天大楼,所以应选D。
