短文赏析
石油输出国组织在3月份决定减少原油供应，原油价格立即猛涨了3倍。本周伊拉克暂停石油出口，这使得油价又一次上扬。强劲的经济增长势头，随着北半球冬季的到来，有可能在短期内使石油价格涨得更高。但是人们并不恐慌，这是因为现在多数国家的原油价格占汽油价格的份额要小很多，发达国家对石油的依赖性也不如从前，因此对油价的波动也就不会那么敏感了。另外一个原因是，与20世纪70年代不同．这次油价上升并不是发生在普遍的物价暴涨及全球需求过旺背景之下。
答案及解析
61．B【解析】文章的第二句中“Since OPEC agreed to supply—cuts in March，the price of crude oil has jumped to almost$26 a barrel．．．．”，说明油价上涨是由于石油输出国组织最近的减少供应导致的。故应选B。
