A．calculatedB．considered C．completed
D．controlled [解析] 句意：虽然还没有精确计算损失，但是人们认为很可能会超过一亿美元。consider 考虑，认为；complete 完成，竣工；control 控制。以上三词都不符合句意。 [答案] A 考点2 arise vi. 出现；发生；起身，起床 【课文如是】 Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation arises.(课本P23) 【概而括之】 arise 是不及物动词，没被动语态。(1)作“呈现；出现；发生”之意时，主语多为抽象名词argument/problem/quarrel/question/movement 等．(2)arise from 由……而引起，由……而产生；从……中产生 【比较网站】 arise，arouse，rise，raise 原形 过去式 过去分词 v.ing arise vi. 出现，发生，起因于 arose arisen arising arouse vt. 唤醒，激起 aroused aroused arousing rise vi. 升起，起身，增长，上升 rose risen rising raise vt. 举起，唤起，提高，饲养 raised raised raising 【典例填充】 用arise，arouse，rise，raise 填空 1．New difficulties will__________from such situation.

B．has risen C．has arisen
D．is increased [解析] 句意：——近来石油的价格如何？——哦，自上个月以来油价猛涨。由句中的since 短语可知，主句用现在完成时，排除A、D两项；arise 意为“become evident；appear；originate 呈现；出现；发生”。如：A new difficulty has arisen.出现了新困难。A storm arose during the night.夜间起风暴了。由此可见，arise 不合句意，故被排除。rise vi. 意为“increase in number，amount，or value；go up 上升”。 [答案] B
