问题 The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is______.
It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if______.

选项 A、price of crude rises
B、commodity prices rise
C、consumption rises
D、oil taxes rise

答案D

解析 事实推理题。题干要求从文章的信息中推论出其中的暗示,即"在什么情况下,汽油零售价格(retail price of petrol)会大幅上涨"。文章的第三段谈到,原油价格只占汽油零售价格的一小部分,其大部分(在欧洲高达五分之四)是税收,因此原油价格的变动对汽油价格(pump prices,这里借用pump的"汽油泵"的含义指代加油站零售的汽油)影响不大,影响汽油价格的主要因素是税收。所以汽油价格的条件是D选项"oil taxes rise" (石油税上涨)。"price of crude rises"(原油价格上涨)影响不大,"commodity prices rise"(商品价格上涨)和"consumption rises"(消费上涨)方面文中未提及。
