问题 Why are some major oil companies mentioned in the first paragraph?
The phrase "Hubbert’s Peak"(Paragraph 1) here refers to
选项 A、the time when the oil production of the world would peak.
B、the time when the oil found in the world would peak.
C、the time when the oil burning of the U.S. would peak.
D、the time when the oil production of the U.S. would peak.
答案D
解析 语义理解题。根据题干中的Hubbert’s Peak定位至首段末句，该句中的破折号表明后面内容是对前面内容的补充说明。该句提到一位名为金.胡伯特的地质物理学家在1956年正确地预见美国石油生产将在20世纪70年代初期达到最高峰。显然Hubbert’s Peak来自该地质物理学家的名字和"石油生产量峰值"这个概念。首段开篇就提到世界石油生产量这个概念，但Hubber’s Peak这个术语是对破折号前内容的解释，该部分具体提到的是美国石油生产量问题，并非世界石油生产量，故排除；第五句的有关埃克森美孚公司的例证中提到了探测到的石油，第四句有关雪佛龙石油公司的例证中提到了消耗掉的石油，这只是论据中涉及到的细节内容，与末句中的Hubbea’s Peak无关。
