681. Heating oil and natural gas futures rose sharply yesterday, as long-term forecasts for much colder temperatures in key heating regions raised fears of insufficient supplies capable of meeting the demand this winter.
A. of insufficient supplies capable of meeting
B. of supplies that would be insufficient for meeting
C. of insufficient supplies that are unable to meet
D. that there would be supplies insufficient for meeting
E. that supplies would be insufficient to meet
解析：这道题主要考察介词短语和同位语从句。
该句主语是Heating oil and natural gas futures，谓语是rose，
同位语从句通常和介词短语在一块考，同位语从句正确则优选。
先看D,E选项，这两个选项句子结构都没有问题，主要区别是一个是to do表示目的，一个是for doing表示目的。因为表示目的时To do优于for doing，所以这道题选E选项。
A选项中of介词后面的内容修饰前面的名词，但是capable of ...“有能力...” 修饰supplies 不合理，A错
B选项that后面引导的从句修饰 supplies，整个句子的语义不完整
C选项that后面引导的从句修饰 supplies，但是unable应该表示的人没有能力，所以这块的修饰对象不合理
答案：E
