问题 The annual consumption of Coco-Cola per capita in the regional markets mentioned in the passage ranks in the following order. [br]  
As China’s vast interior gets richer, Grenda Lee, Coco-Cola’s Shanghai-based director of external affairs, finds herself dreaming about tapping the country’s rural market. Chinese peasants account for roughly 70 percent of China’s 1.3 billion people, but on average each drinks only three Coke products a year. That compares with some 60 drinks consumed annually in Shanghai and Beijing, 150 in Hong Kong and 420 in the United States. With so many customers at stake, potential profits take on epic scale.
The global steel industry is in a mess. Overcapacity and weak demand have hurt producers. In 2002, 847 million tons of steel was produced, but consumption was only 765 million tons. Steel makers have responded by consolidating. Last year in Europe, for example, Arcelor, the world’s biggest producer, was formed from a three-way merger of Spain’s Aceralia, France’s Usinor and Arbed, a Luxemburg-based company.

选项 A、The steel industry still has a bright prospect on a global scene.
B、Steel consumption in the world registered a drastic cut.
C、Steel makers are drastically cutting down their production.
D、Better promotion is needed for improving sales of steel products.

答案 B

解析 语义的推理判断。根据原文“Overcapacity and weak demand have hurt producers.”即“过度的生产能力和疲软的需求使生产者受挫”及“In 2002,847 million tons of steel wasproduced,but consumption was only 765 million tons.”由此可见,从前一句的说明和后一句中的数字对比可推断出世界钢铁消费锐减。因此,选项B的说法是正确的。
