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. This may be convenient for the political leaders themselves. Alas, it is (15)_____ to do much for their countrymen.

Producing countries should (17)_____ embrace open markets. (18)_____ one thing, shutting out foreign investment will only hurt their own oil output by (19)_____ the sharpest managers and latest technologies.

选项
A、incomes
B、revenues
C、payment
D、contributions
答案
B
解析
本题的考点为名词近义词的用法辨析。根据上下文的内容,可知这里是说"通过国有公司加强其对石油收入的控制",所以revenues"收入",指国家的收入、税收等,符合文意。incomes"(个人)收入,收益",payment"付款,支付",contributions"捐献,贡献"都不符合文中的语境,因此都不正确。
