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.

选项
A、this
B、that
C、which
D、what
答案
B
解析
本题的考点为指示代词的用法辨析。根据上下文的句子结构,可知空格处的词是作句中的主语,用来指代上面提及的事情,所以that符合文意。this一般用于指下面叙述的事情,which用作定语从句中的指代词,what用在主语从句中。因此这三项都不符合题意。
