问题     Sometimes file U.S. government goes out of its way to prove it can be an absolute nuisance. Take the case of Southern Clay, Inc., which has a factory at Paris, Tennessee, putting out a clay product for cat boxes best known as "Kitty Litter." It’s a simple enough process, but the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) insists that since clay comes from the ground-an excavation half a mile from the Kitty Litter plant--the company actually is engaged in mining and milling. Therefore, says MSHA, Southern Clay is subject to all the roles that govern, say, coal miners working in shafts several hundred feet down.
    The company has been told to devise an escape system and fire fighting procedures in case there is a fire in its "mine". Southern Clay estimates it will lose 6,000 manhours in production time giving its 250 factory workers special training in how to escape from a mine disaster.
    One thing that has always impressed us about cats, in addition to their tidiness, is that they seem to watch the human world with a sense of wise and detached superiority, as though they wondered what the hustle and bustle is all about. If they grin from time to time, as some people insist, it’s no wonder.
The clay excavation is______.
选项 A、half a mile underground
B、several miles from Pads, Tennessee
C、worked by miners in shafts several hundred feet down
D、not far from the Kitty Litter plant
答案D
解析 细节理解题。文章第—段第四行中“…an excavation half a mile from the Kitty Litter plant…in mining and milling．”说明了有关粘土采挖的情况。
