答案解析：
51. [C] The impact of cheap oil on global economic growth.
解析：本題是主旨題，原文第一段表示「過去油價下降總是刺激世界經濟增長，但是即使現在油價下降越來越多，最新對經濟增長的預測卻不容樂觀，這意味著更低的油價和增長之間的關係削弱了嗎?」這第一段點明了主題，後面的段落都是在討論油價下降為什麼以前可以刺激經濟增長，而現在卻不再能刺激經濟增長了。可以看出是C是正確答案。

解析：根據原文第三段中「draw on their reserves to support government spending and subsidies for their consumers」，可以看出C是正確選項。
54. [B] Its negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.
解析：根據原文第五段中「the negative effects of plunging oil prices are overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil」可以看出B是正確選項。
