试题解析
细节题。第四段第五句指出,Economic Outlook 中的评价是“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”,说明油价由13美元上升到22美元,对于富裕国家来说,石油进口的增长只占GDP的0.25到0.5%,也就是说,对于富裕国家来说,油价的变化不会对GDP有太大的影响。第四段第二句提到,重工业对石油的依赖有所下降,故排除A项。第四段第一句提到,发达国家也不像过去那样依赖石油,所以对石油的波动也不是那么敏感。由此可排除B项和C项。
