When the top U.S. oil companies announced huge increases in profits this week, many consumer advocates raised complaints. At a time when American motorists are paying record-level prices for gasoline, some in the U.S. Congress think the oil company profits should be examined closely. The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is seeking tax return information on top U.S. oil companies from the Internal Revenue Service and some politicians are calling for a windfall profits tax. Of course, oil companies oppose such a move, citing similar or even higher profit increases in other industries, such as real estate, that have not caused controversy. Oil industry analysts, however, say a windfall profits tax might be counterproductive. Bob Tippee, editor of Houston-based Oil and Gas Journal, says large oil company profits could benefit consumers in the end.
3. What are the reactions to the oil companies’ huge increases in profits?
4. What do the oil industry analysts think of the windfall profits tax?
选项 A、It might not work.
B、Consumers will finally benefit from it.
C、It is good for oil industry.
D、It should also be imposed on other industries.
答案A
解析 新闻提到，石油分析家说征收暴利税可能达不到预期的目标，有反作用(counterproductive)，考生即使听不懂该词的意思，也可从下一句的“石油工业的高利润最终会让消费者受益”可知，分析家并不反对石油公司有高利润，即对“征收暴利税”是持反对意见，故A为正确答案。B“消费者最终受益”和C“对石油公司有利”都对“征收暴利税”持正面态度，与新闻所说相反。D“对其他行业也征收暴利税”没有在新闻中提到。
