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.
We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry______.
选项
A、believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields
B、tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oil
C、shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR
D、expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia
答案
A
解析
此题是对第二段内容的考查,属于事实判断题。阅读此段我们知道,这一段主要提到了根据相关人士的意见,石油开采可能会带来的一些经济上的实惠,所以正确答案为A。B项说美国石油行业夸大美国对于外来石油的依赖,这不对;C项说美国石油行业对在ANWR开发石油不感兴趣,这明显不符合原文内容;D项说美国石油行业期望停止从Saudi Arabia进口石油,文章只是说降低(cut back)从Saudi Arabia进口石油,而没有说停止进口,所以也是不正确的。
