OG-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.

8.     If the statement above 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（D）

(E) Decreasing domestic production of oil

答案D没有问题  想问E为何不行?

OG解释:Choices A and E describe policies that could actually increase the long-tern impact of increases in the international oil prices.

为何E会增加长期油价上升的冲击?  想不太透

谢谢回答!!

you might have misunderstood E. If domestic oil supply is further restricted, the oil price will shoot up. If E says decreasing oil consumption, it will work.

if you are gonna decrease domestic production of oil that means eventually u will start buying oil from the international markets, then if a oil-supply disruption happens, ur oil prices will raise

If there is an oil-supply disruption resulting in higher international oil prices

(A) Maintaining the quantity of oil imported at constant yearly levels (PAY more for the same Quantity)

(E) Decreasing domestic production of oil (Import MORE from aboard, Higher Cost)

你们都说的没错  只是我看到E选项时 脑里闪过一个念头

之前听说美国的Alaska石油矿藏丰富  但是美国似乎以环境保护为由 不加以采集  为的是 怕到时如果中东石油如果出现oil-supply disruption 他们可以有应对的储备石油   

所以我就认为E似乎是不错的应对措施  但是我想我忽略了消费量必须下降这个assumption 是这应对措施effective的条件 要不然 如文中所说价格还是会上升 似乎不是个长期的好办法

哈 不知美国有没有想到

但D是什么意思呀, 消费怎么能说减少就减少呀, 难道汽车不开了.怎么通过保存减少呀.不懂请指教

bryan0806

D 這裡conservation是指節約使用的意思  也只有這個選項能使國家渡過國際油價上漲的困難期間  其他都可排除

这题虽然D是最好的选项，但从文中很难从逻辑上得到D.

大家认为呢？

太晚

如果E选项改为增加本国石油产量，减少进口，能否成为正确选项？

回楼上，我觉得不中。。。 因为原文的最后一句话。

本文推理是，国际油价变，国内油价必然变，和产不产，买不买无关。。

所以咋办呢？只能在用不用上做文章了。。 油价变了，咱哥们儿不用，咱蹬自行车儿上班儿。。。 典型的东方思维阿，所以咱虽然穷，日子过的还是8错D
