注释: 1. Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge:美国阿拉斯加北极国家野生动物保护区。2001年,美国众议院通过了一项基于布什提出的在那里进行石油开采的议案。该议案遭到环境保护主义组织的反对。因此,目前在该区禁止开采石油。 2. tonnes:公吨(=1,000公斤)。不同于ton。 ton:在美国等于二千磅(=0.907公吨),所以称作short ton:短吨。 练习: 1. “...we will need to cure our addiction to oil.” Why does the author say so?

C 短文的第二段告诉我们,木材曾经是主要燃料来源,然后被煤所替代;白人们开始采油后,对煤的需求下降了,但因为煤的储量远大于石油,它可能又会成为主要燃料,尽管它对环境最具破坏力。所以A、B、D均是作者的意思,而C不是。ncxt to oil除石油以外。 3. A 文章的第三段说,美国消耗全世界四分之一的石油。 4. B 答案在第五段第二句中。该段第一句说,地球上的燃料储量将在50年内耗尽,所以A不是正确选择;第三句的意思是,常规燃料的获取将变得困难,而不是不可获得,所以C也不是正确选择;D明显不是作者的意思。 5. D 选项A、B、I:都是最后一段中所表达的意思,所以D是正确选择。
