In 1999, the price of oil hovered around $16 a barrel. By 2008, it had【1】the $100 a barrel mark. The reasons for the surge【2】from the dramatic growth of the economies of China and India to widespread【3】in oil-producing regions, including Iraq and Nigeria’s delta region. Triple-digit oil prices have【4】the economic and political map of the world,【5】some old notions of power. Oil-rich nations are enjoying historic gains and opportunities,【6】major importers — including China and India, home to a third of the world’s population—【7】rising economic and social costs.
Managing this new order is fast becoming a central【8】of global politics. Countries that need oil are clawing at each other to【9】scarce supplies, and are willing to deal with any government,【10】how unpleasant, to do it.
In many poor nations with oil, the profits are being lost to corruption, 【11】these countries of their best hope for development. And oil is fueling enormous investment funds run by foreign government, 【12】some in the West see as a new threat.
Countries like Russia, Venezula and Iran are well supplied with rising oil【13】. a charge reflected in newly aggressive foreign policies.

选项
A、fighting
B、struggling
C、challenging
D、threatening
答案
C
解析
词汇题(词义选择)。本题空格中需要一个动词现在分词,表示前半句“重新绘制世界政治与经济版图”所造成的结果,结合该现在分词的宾语some old nations of power“一些旧势力”我们不难推出本空格需要“推翻”或“挑战”等类似语义。A项fighting“战斗”、B项struggling“拼搏,挣扎”和D项threatening“威胁,使危险”均不符题意,所以C项challenging“挑战”正确。
