These small square stones became a problem for the building and continued to fall off the face for 40 years until a major renovation was【C2】______During this renovation the building’s owners, CIS,【C3】______the solar panel company, Solarcentury. They agreed to cover the entire building in solar panels. In 2004, the completed CIS tower became Europe’ s largest【C4】______of vertical solar panels. A vertical solar project on such a large【C5】______has never been repeated since.
   Covering a skyscraper with solar panels had never been done before, and the CIS tower was chosen as one of the "10 best green energy projects". For a long time after this renovation project, it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom, but it was【C6】______overtaken by the Millbank Tower.

   A) cheaper        I) eventually
   B) cleaner         J) height
   C) collection       K) necessarily

【C10】
选项
答案J
解析 空格前为介词of，空后无单词，故本空需要填入名词。结合句意可知，建造最高的摩天大楼并不是为了攀比高度，而是为了收集最多的太阳能。备选项中只有height(高度)与摩天大楼相呼应，符合句意，故答案为J。
