What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War? [br]
When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. (11 [D]) Would black powder and 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. Now that the fires are out, scientists are turning their attention to yet another threat: the oil that did not catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwait Desert. They trap insects and birds and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants. (12[D]) 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 gas is choking nearby residents. (13[C]) Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up but they fire 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
细节题。当文章中提到The only good news 时,一定要注意听下面的信息,因为次句的开头与题干一模一样,其中not affected与选项D 中的polluted所表达的意思基本一致。
