原本題目:

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： Gasoline used to be very cheap in the United States. Companies bought oil cheaply from overseas and turned it into gasoline. The government encouraged the low prices and did not tax gasoline much. Americans became used to larger and larger cars that took a lot of gasoline to run. The amount of gasoline a car uses depends on the car’s size and weight, along with the design of the engine. Gasoline in Western Europe and Japan, however, was very expensive, partly because governments put high taxes on gasoline to raise money. Cars built in Western Europe and Japan were generally small and light, and they used much less gasoline. In 1973, some of the countries that sold oil to the United States stopped selling it. As a result, there wasn’t enough gasoline, and the price of oil products, including gasoline, rose sharply. The prices stayed high when the oil-producing countries started to sell oil again in 1974.
