We can draw a conclusion from the text that______.

A) oil-price shocks are less shocking now

B) inflation seems irrelevant to oil -price shocks

C) energy conservation can keep down the oil prices

D) the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry


正确答案：A
答案：A
[试题分析]文章主旨题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生识别文章的中心思想，即“我们能从文章中得出什么结论”。文章一开始提出最近石油价格大幅上涨，会不会像前两次油价暴涨一样造成经济衰退。但接下来它又说这次油价上涨的影响不会像以前那样严重，并说出了几点原因：(1)原油价格只占汽油价格的一小部分，(2)发达国家对石油的依赖性不如从前，(3)并没有同时发生商品总价格上涨和全球需求旺盛的现象。因此，文章的中心思想是A选项“oil-price shocks are less shocking now”(现在的油价暴涨并不可怕)。B选项“iafla tion seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks”(通货膨胀与油价暴涨无关)，C选项"energy conservation can keep down the oil prices"(能源储备能够压抑油价)和D选项“the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry”(原油价格上涨导致重工业的萎缩)都不是全文重点讨论的内容。

第2题：

Text 3 Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?

The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.

Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.

Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies--to which heavy industry has shifted-have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.

One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist's commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.

第51题：The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is

Text 4

Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply - cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $ 26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near - tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979 -80, when they also almost tri- pled. Both previous shocks resulted in double - digit inflation and global economic decline. So there are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?

The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil experts. Strengthening economic growth, al the' same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short Item.

Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, tuxes account for up to four - fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.

Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the 'oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, oil prices averaged $ 22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25 - 0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive, and se could he more seriously squeezed.

One more reason net to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist's commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago.

答案：B
[试题分析]文章细节事实题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生从文章中找出最近一次石油涨价的主要原因。文章第一段提到，自从三月份石油输出国组织(OPEC，Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)同意减产，原油的价格已经涨了近三倍。第二段提到，油价这个星期因伊拉克停止石油出口又一次被抬升。强劲的经济增涨势头，再加上冬季笼罩了北半球，可能在短期内使油价涨得更高。从某种意义上讲，这些都是油价上涨的原因，但不是主要原因。

We can draw a conclusion from the text that______.
A:oil-price shocks are less shocking now
B:inflation seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks
C:energy conservation can keep down the oil prices
D:the price rise of crude oil leads to the shrinking of heavy industry

答案：A
解析：
根据题干可以定位到第一段的第二句话“Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March,the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel,up from less than$10 last December"，说明由于石油输出国决定降低供给量，使得油价上升。所以本题的答案是B选项。D选项不是该现象的主要原因，因为OPEC的相关决定才是能够影响石油价格的走势的主要原因。
根据题干可以定位到第三段的第三句话“In Europe , taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price,so even quite big changes in the price of crude oil have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past"，意思是说“在欧洲，税占汽油的零售价的4/5，因此相比以往，原油的价格变化对汽油零售价的影响不会很明显”。也就是说，税的增加会导致汽油价格的猛涨，而原油价格的变化带来的影响不会很大。本题的一个理解难点是“muted effect "，另外一个是“pump price "。 " mute”表示“哑巴的，无声的，沉默的”，和“effect”连用，表示 “影响不明显”；而“pump price”是一个很形象的说法，" pump”指的是“泵”，这里很形象地用 " pump”指代“汽油零售”。根据上述分析，可以得出答案是D选项。
根据本题的关键词“《经济展望》的估计”可以定位到“The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that,if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year,compared with $13 in 1998,this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0 .25％一 0.5% of GDP"，也就是说，油价的上涨对GDP的影响很小，只有“0.25%—0.5%”。因此我们可以得出答案为D选项。
本题的几个选项需要通篇理解。文章第三段指出“油价的经济影响不会那么严重”，作者指出其原因是原油价格占汽油价格的比例不高，发达国家对石油的依赖减弱，此次涨价的背景不一样了。文章最后一段说这次油价上涨与20世纪70年代的上涨不同，对各国的影响也基本没有反映出来，连物价都基本没有变动，也就是说，油价冲击已经不是那么可怕。所以答案是A选项。
本文作者主要讲的就是这次油价上涨的影响不大。尤其是第三段和最后一段的第一句话，强调人们不必担心此次油价上涨，因为这一次的情况与“20世纪70年代” 不同。由此可见作者的态度是“乐观的”。

第5题：

A) price of crude rises

B) commodity prices rise

C) consumption rises

D) oil taxes rise


正确答案：D
答案：D
[试题分析]事实推理题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生从文章的信息中推论出其中的暗示，即“在什么情况下，汽油零售价格(retail price of petrol)会大幅上涨”。文章的第三段谈到，原油价格只占汽油零售价格的一小部分，其大部分(在欧洲高达五分之四)是税收，因此原油价格的变动对汽油价格(pump prices，这里借用pump的“汽油泵”的含义指代加油站零售的汽油)影响不大，影响汽油价格的主要因素是税收。所以汽油价格的条件是D选项"oil taxes rise" (石油税上涨)。A选项“price of crude rise8”(原油价格上涨)影响不大，B选项“commodity prices rise”(商品价格上涨)和C选项“consumption rises”(消费上涨)方面文中未提及。
