问题 According to the passage, the decline of Shell
To which of the following statements would Matthew Simmons most likely agree?

选项 A、Shell still has huge assets.
B、Shell’s daily production is reduced.
C、Shell should replace their reserve.
D、Shell is exhausting its asset.

答案D

解析 推理判断题。由题干中的Matthew Simmons定位至第三段第三句。该句指出Matthew Simmons的看法:如果没有新的储备,这就像吃粮食种子一样。如果你不能找到新油井,你就会用光手里已经有的。因为本段都是对Shell公司的评论,可以推断Matthew认为壳牌正在耗尽公司的资源。Shell still has huge assets是该段首句内容。从第二句的But可以看出,实际情况不容乐观。显然Matthew的观点是对这种黯淡前景的说明;Shell’s daily production figures have been weak lately:这里是文中明确给出的细节内容,非Matthew观点;本段第二句中提到reserve replacement,从第二段首句可知Shell并不是不想这样做,而是找不到足够的石油和天然气。作为资深观察家,Matthew不可能不了解这一点。
