Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979—80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time
The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.
Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price
A. global inflation
B. reduction in supply
C. fast growth in economy
D. Iraq’s suspension of exports

TEXT D

From Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa capital at 12,000 feet，the long line threaded south，dropping 2,000 feet to the valley floor，then trudged down the huge Sola-Khumbu canyon until, it opened out to the lush but still daunting foothills of Central Nepal.
It was here at Namche that one man broke rank and leaned north，slowly and arduously climbing the steep walls of the natural amphitheater behind the scatter of stone huts，then past Kunde and Khumjong.
Despite wearing a balaclava on his head, he had been frequently recognized by the Tibetans，and treated with the gravest deference and respect. Even among those who knew nothing about him，expressions of surprise lit up their dark，liquid eyes. He was a man not expected to be there.
Not only was his stature substantially greater than that of the dimi
A. "threaded".
B. "dropping".

[单项选择]TEXT D Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with w
A. people who eat together.
B. the kinds of food served.
C. snacks and hamburgers.
D. family members and guests.

[单项选择]TEXT D Speaking two languages rather than just one has obvious parctical benefits in an increasingly globalized world.But in recent years, scientists have begun to show that the advantages of bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able to converse with a wider range of people. Being bilingual, it turned out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain, improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia(痴呆) in old age. This view of bilingualism is remarkably different from the understanding of bilingualism through much of the 20th century. Researchers, educators and policy makers long considered a second language to be an interference, cognitively speaking, that hindered a child s academic and intellectual development. They were not wrong about the interference: there is ample evidence that in a bilingual s brain both language systems are active even when he is using only one language, thus creat
A. its practical advantages
B. perceived language fluency
C. its role in cognition

TEXT D

The law firm Patrick worked for before he died filed for bankruptcy protection a year after his funeral. After his death, the firm’s letterhead properly included him: Patrick S. Lanigan, 1954-1992. He was listed up in the right-hand corner, just above the paralegals. Then the rumors got started and wouldn’t stop. Before long, everyone believed he had taken the money and disappeared. After three months, no one on the Gulf Coast believed that he was dead. His name came off the letterhead as the debts piled up.
The remaining partners in the law firm were still together, attached unwillingly at the hip by the bondage of mortgages and the bank notes, back when they were rolling and on the verge of serious wealth. They had been joint defendants in several unwinnable lawsuits; thus the bankruptcy. Since Patrick’s departure, th
