Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(保护区)(ANWR)to help secure America’s energy future? PresidentObama certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and increase the country’s energy independence, thus reducing its oil reliance on other countries. But no one knows for sure how much Crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth.
The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% ofU. S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two or three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to(等于)all shipments to the U. S. from Saudi Arabia. An oil increase would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall(意外之财)in tax revenues, royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. "We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice. " says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.
Not so fast, say environmentalists. The National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3. 2 billion barrels of oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output and just 3% of the nation’s.
What does President Obama think of tapping oil in ANWR? ______.
选项
A、It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.
B、It will help secure the future of ANWR.
C、It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.
D、It will increase America’s energy consumption.
答案
C
解析
此题问的是美国总统奥巴马对于在ANWR开发石油的看法,属于细节事实题。从第一段的第三句话“He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and increase the country’s energy independence,thus reducing its oil reliance on other countries”可以知道,奥巴马认为“石油开发可以缓解加州的用电危机,以及提高国家在能源上的独立性,降低对其他国家在石油进口上的依赖性”,所以正确答案为C。其他三三项都和他谈到的内容无关。
