Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(保护区)(ANWR)to help secure America’s energy future? PresidentObama certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and increase the country’s energy independence, thus reducing its oil reliance on other countries. But no one knows for sure how much Crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth.
The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% ofU. S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two or three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to(等于)all shipments to the U. S. from Saudi Arabia. An oil increase would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall(意外之财)in tax revenues, royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. "We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice. " says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.
Not so fast, say environmentalists. The National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3. 2 billion barrels of oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output and just 3% of the nation’s.
Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that______.
选项
A、it can cause serious damage to the environment
B、it can do little to solve U. S. energy problems
C、it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region
D、it will not have much commercial value
答案
B
解析
此题问的是石油开采反对派的意见,属于细节事实题。回到文中的第三段我们就可以找到答案,第三段中的“a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems”明确地表明了反对派的意见,即石油开采对于美国的能源危机于事无补。所以,正确答案选择B。
