选项

答案C,E

解析 空格fil所在两句话的逻辑连接词为because,引导因果,因的部分与果的部分取同。空格(i)所在句子说,it slackened because China’s surge in on consumption had(i)________,世界范围内对石油的需求减缓了,因为中国对石油的消费(i)________了,这里的it指代前面的demand for oil(对石油的需求),因此(i)的部分填入的动词表示中国的消费减缓了即可,选C项slowed(减缓)。空格(ii)所在句子的逻辑连接词为thus,引导因果,因的部分与果的部分取同。空格(ii)所在的句子:石油高昂的价格本身对于全球经济有一个短期的(ii)________的作用,因此进一步抑制了需求。果的部分:further dampening demand(需求被进一步抑制了),说明高昂的石油价格对于需求是不利的,所以空格(ii)应该填入表示抑制全球经济的词,因此选E项dragon(拖累)。
