High oil prices have not yet produced an economic shock among consuming countries, but further rises, especially sharp (1)_____, would undoubtedly hurt the world economy, and (2)_____ would inevitably harm producers, too. Beyond this obvious point, (3)_____, higher prices could even do harm to both oil firms and producers.
Big oil firms (4)_____ rolling in money today, but that disguises the fact that their longer-term prospects are (5)_____.

(11)_____ it is to believe, higher oil prices could be bad news for producing countries (12)_____. Political leaders in Russia, Venezuela and other oil-rich countries are bending laws to crack (13)_____ on foreign firms and to strengthen their grip on oil (14)_____ through state-run firms.

选项
A、bleak
B、leak
C、weak
D、freak
答案
A
解析
本题的考点为形容词的词义辨析。该句是说"但是,那掩饰了其长期的前景是 的事实",这句话与前面的"财源滚滚"成转折关系,所以应该表示一种不好的状况。因此bleak"黯淡的"符合文意。leak"漏洞",weak"虚弱的",freak"反常的"都与文意不符。
