问题 According to the passage, the decline of Shell
Shell "can’t get their act together"(Paragraph 2) because

选项 A、it hasn’t been able to find more oil and gas.
B、it has an improperly booked assets.
C、it is excelled by its rivals.
D、it used to represent the gold standard.

答案C

解析 语义理解题。由题干中的can’t get their act together定位至第二段末句。通过其上下文寻找解题线索。由于考查的语言点出现在引用处,因此可能是支持前面提到的观点的细节内容。第二段第三句和第四句是概括性陈述:但问题是尽管壳牌每年花几十亿探测,开发新油井,现在还是被Exxon和BP这样的对手超越了。接着作者给出具体数字进行说明。段尾通过引用对此情况做进一步说明:壳牌过去是石油业的黄金标准,但是最近can’t get their act together。可见这是对壳牌被对手超过的情况进行的说明。
