OG-24

24. If there is an oil-supply disruption resulting in higher international oil prices, domestic oil prices in open-market countries such as the United States will rise as well, whether such countries import all or none of their oil.

If the statement in the passage concerning oil-supply disruptions is true, which of the following policies in an open-market nation is most likely to reduce the long-term economic impact on that nation of sharp and unexpected increases in international oil prices?

A. Maintaining the quantity of oil imported at constant yearly levels

B. Increasing the number of oil tankers in its fleet

C. Suspending diplomatic relations with major oil-producing nations

D. Decreasing oil consumption through conservation

E. Decreasing domestic production of oil D

24.

If the statement about oil-supply disruption is true, domestic oil prices in an open-market country will rise when an oil-supply disruption causes increased international oil prices. A reduction in the amount of oil an open-market country consumes could reduce the economic impact of these increases. D gives a way to reduce oil consumption and is thus the best answer.

A and E describe policies that could actually increase the long-term impact of increases in international oil prices, so neither of these choices is appropriate. No relationship is established between the economic impact and either the number of oil tankers or diplomatic relations in B and C, so neither of these choices is appropriate.

麻烦解释一下A为何不对？

我也有同样的问题，为什莫没有人回复？

我也想听听解释，有NN帮忙分析一下吗？多谢

对这道题还是不太明白

题目中也没提消费与油价的关系，难道说就是因为油价涨了影响太大，那就索性不用（少用）来减少影响？

Foreastbear

1.油价上涨

2.用油量保持不变

结果 消费总量增加

boyray

消费总量=油价X用油量?

我不是nn,我只说说我的理解。用油量多了，意味着与油有关的东西越多，油价会影响与油有关的东西的成本，那么也就对经济有影响，油价上升，如果用油量保持不变，则会使与这些与用油量相关的东西影响经济，若减少用油量，就减少了与油相关的东西，也就减少了对经济的影响。不知可不可以这样理解。请大家讨论。

嗯，完全赞同。

因为国际、国内油价保持同步，如果国际油价上涨，我们依然进口同样多的石油（与前些年份相比），那么在经济方面将会增加很多的成本，占用很多的资源，这对经济的长期走势是不利的。

所以A错。

OPEN TO DISCUSS。

这题我也不理解，之前觉得C不能从文章推出，如果用常识这常识也太复杂了吧：）看了思谦的解释，觉得是众NN中最有道理的，因为“相关”这个常识应该是很基础的，因为减少相关，而减少影响。很合理。挺一下。
