When Bill Clinton met Saudi Arabias Crown Prince Abdullah thi

20、s week, Mr. Clinton argued for an output rise big enough to put an end to these painful prices. Prince Abdullah has promised to “make every effort to ensure equilibrium in the oil markets and to stabilise prices.” This week he revealed that Saudi Arabia has been quietly leaking an extra 600,000 barr

21、els per day (bpd) on to the market since July in an effort to cool prices. .If that is true, it just goes to show that managing the oil markets is easier said than done. Despite several Saudi-inspired output increases by the cartel in recent months, the price has remained stubbornly high; this week,

22、 it soared to nearly $35 a barrel, the highest since theGulf war in 1990. As the cartels oil ministers gather in Vienna on September 10th to hammer out new production quotas, they are once again under intense pressure to release more oil, and fast. To hear OPEC members talk, you might think that ser

23、ious price relief is on the way. There is discussion of “managing” prices down through a newish price mechanism. At the cartels meeting in March, ministers quietly agreed a grand new plan to keep oil within a target band of $22-28 a barrel. If the price of a basket of seven OPEC crudes stays below $

24、22 for 20 trading days, the cartel is supposed to cut production by 500,000 barrels a 0ay. If it stays above $28 for 20 trading days, it will automatically raise production by the same amount. This price band has become the main topic of discussion in advance of the upcoming gathering of ministers.

25、Prince Abdullah even talks of a return to a stable market within months. Oil traders and analysts note that the 20-day limit looks likely to be triggered again this week. A new report by Lehman Brothers, an investment bank, echoes the view of many: “Our expectation is that production will be increas

26、ed by 500,000 bpd, either through the price mechanism or through a separate agreement.” When it released new figures suggesting that domestic oil-stock levels are lower than previously thought, the American governments Energy Information Administration added that it too expects an increase of that s

27、ize. Adding support to this theory are mumblings from OPEC delegates in support of the mechanism. Two decades ago, in the year of the cartels 20th birthday celeb rations, ministers gathered in Indonesia to hammer out details of a clever new scheme: a mechanism whereby the price of oil would be fixed

28、, and adjusted every quarter automatically for such factors as inflation and currency fluctuations. Members had agreed on the ambitious plan, except for one crucial detail: at what price to start this price-peg crawling. The cautious Saudis, the self-proclaimed guardians of the oil market, wanted a

29、price below $30 a barrel; the hawks in the cartel, unconcerned about consumers pain, demanded a much higher price. The ensuing bickering ensured that the scheme collapsed. History may now be repeating itself. When the current price-stabilization scheme was first unveiled, punters with short memories

30、 placed big bets that the cartel would adhere to it. By mid-June, the price basket had sailed past the 20-day upper trigger. But OPEC did not “automatically” release 500,000 barrels. Various confused and contradictory explanations surfaced from ministers, but not the oil. Only at their next official

31、ly scheduled meeting did they come up with a meager quota increase. （分数：4.00）(1). The passage confirms that （分数：1.00）A.high oil prices can be controlled if OPEC increase oil output.B.Bill Clinton accomplished his mission for the visit to Prince Abdullah.C.Abdullah made all his efforts to control oil

34、 a acceptable level, but it takes actions very carefully for the consideration of its own benefit.(4).What can you infer from the passage? （分数：1.00）A.OPEC is, in the most cases, not reliable.B.all the members of OPEC have the intention to lower oil prices when the prices get very high.C.The oil pric

35、es are fully controlled by the market and OPEC can do nothing with them even though they wish toD.In most cases OPEC has been very efficient in managing oil prices.Question 45-48 The horse preceded man on earth. Although the earliest remains of primitive horses have been found on the North American

36、continent, many scientist believe this small species traveled over a land mass in the Bering Sea to found the beginnings of the modern horse in Asia. It became extinct in America. Other scientists believe that the horse may have originated in Asia. In any event the animal soon spread into China, Eur

37、ope, and the Middle East. The first modern horses to be introduced into the American continent came with the early Spanish explorers. Horses were bred into many types. The heavy horses developed in the low countries of Europe and were used for Arabian. The only true wild horses left in the 20th cent

38、ury are found in Mongolia. Horses are said to rate in intelligence after the ape, elephant, and dog. They have excellent memories and can sometimes find their way home when lost, and sense danger better that their masters.

41、20th century are in the Middle East.C.The oldest breed of the modern horse is said to be the Arabian.D.Medieval knights preferred fast, active horses.Questions 49-52 Recent intrusions into the lives of public figures have highlighted the lack of laws guarding privacy in Britain. As a result, one iss

42、ue under discussion as Parliament returns this week is the possible introduction of legislation to curb press powers. The government will probably take no action until it receives a report from a committee chaired by Sir David Calcutt, due in January 1993. the committee is examining whether the pres

43、s should be regulated by tougher legislation. It is also considering the ways in which the press has invaded the private lives of the famous. The Calcutt committee has reported once before, in 1990. it recommendations led to the creation of the Press Complaints Commission, under which the press was

44、given the chance to regulate itself without the need for a privacy law. It also proposed a new criminal offence of physical intrusion to obtain information for publication. This proposal, which was not acted upon, would have made it unlawful to photograph people on private property to record their c

45、onversations without permission. It would have made it an offence to enter a property to place a bug or obtain personal information. The committee said that the press should be allowed to invade the privacy of a public figure only when it was likely to expose or prevent criminal activity, otherwise

46、his or privacy should be left alone. But a general law protecting privacy was rejected. Since then, reports in some newspapers and magazines about peoples private lives have ignored the committees recommendations. The private lives of Government Ministers and members of the Royal Family have feature

47、d prominently in the press. Photographs of the Duchess of York Sunbathing in France, for example, have been widely published. Some sections of the media justify their intrusion by saying it is in the public interest. In a democracy, they argue, the public has a right to know what people in positions

48、 of power are doing. Politicians and others are accountable for their lives. Privacy laws, these critics say, would protect the privileged. Additionally, many politicians use their private lives to gain popular support, for example by parading their families before cameras to emphasized “traditional

49、 value”. Hence, some editors say they are justified in prying into private lives to uncover any faults. Likewise, the Royal Family is supported from public funds, and therefore it is argued that its members should lead responsible private lives. （分数：4.00）(1).Which of the following occurred recently in Britain? （分数：1.00）A.a report from a committee c
