参考答案和解析
正确答案： A
解析：
根据句意，第一个空可用“manifest”或“demonstrate”。“though”表明句子去前部分和后部分的意思是对比的，所以第二个空的意思应和“heavy and awkward”的 意思相反，而与“agility”的意思相近。nimble“敏捷的；聪明的”；engender“产生；引起”；versatile“多才多艺的；万能的”。

    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。

    正确答案： C
    解析：
    综合理解题。文章的主要内容着重于与20世纪70年代相比，现今的石油价格波动情况及其影响。从第三段开头阐明：“there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s”，说明现今的情况没有70年代那么严重，也就是说现今的石油价格波动不会像以前那样对经济带来如此重大的影响。第四段开头进一步阐述到“Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price”，即石油价格波动已经没有以前那么激烈了。
