What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War?
When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil well at the end of Gulf War, scientists feared environmental disaster. Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?
Many said "No way"; rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere. But in America, air sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds, and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.
The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.
Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents.
Officials are trying to organize a quick cleanup, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black-powder detectors ready.
选项
A、The underground oil resources have not been affected.
B、Most of the desert animals and plants have managed to survive.
C、The oil lakes soon dried up and stopped evaporating.
D、The underground water resources have not been polluted.
答案
D
解析
题干问:“对于科学家来说的好消息是什么?”听力材料中说“The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources.”这与答案D的意思一致,所以本题答案选D。
