问题 If there is an oil-supply disruption resulting in higher international oil prices, domestic oil prices in open-market countries such as the United States will rise as well, whether such countries import all or none of their oil. Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the statement above?

选项 A、Domestic producers of oil in open-market countries are excluded from the international oil market when there is a disruption in the international oil supply.
B、International oil-supply disruptions have little, if any, effect on the price of domestic oil as long as an open-market country has domestic supplies capable of meeting domestic demand.
C、The oil market in an open-market country is actually part of the international oil market, even if most of that country’ s domestic oil is usually sold to consumers within its borders.
D、Open-market countries that export little or none of their oil can maintain stable domestic oil prices even when international oil prices rise sharply.
E、If international oil prices rise, domestic distributors of oil in open-market countries will begin to import more oil than they export.

答案 C

解析 如果开放市场国家的石油市场是独立的,国际石油价格的波动就不会影响国内石油价格。然而,如果关于石油供应波动的论述是正确的,那么,国内石油价格显然是依赖于国际市场的,因此国内石油市场是国际石油市场的一部分,所以,(C)是正确答案;选项(B)和(D)没有得到支持,因为每一项都与国际石油供应的波动导致开放市场国家油价的上升相矛盾;(A)和(E)也没有得到支持,因为该论述仅提供了关于波动对石油价格的影响的信息,而没有国内生产商或分销商的信息。
