问题 The average fuel price in California is______. [br]  
(28)A sharp rise in fuel prices in California linked to state supply shortages has forced some petrol stations to close temporarily.
    (27)In one part of the Golden State, prices hit $5. 69 a gallon, $1.20 more than the California average. The situation has been magnified by pollution limits requiring a special fuel blend during the summer. Officials insisted California was not running out of petrol, and one refinery has already resumed production. The refinery had gone offline because of a power cut, exacerbating the supply problems.
    Fuel price spikes particularly affect the state’s independent petrol station operators, who pay a higher price for their supplies than some national chains. Some have closed down their pumps rather than cut into profit margins. Costco, a giant discount store chain that sells large volumes of petrol, closed 14 of its 40 Los Angeles-area stations. Five were expected to reopen on Friday.

选项 A、California was not running out of petrol in spite of a sharp rise in fuel prices.
B、The pollution limits require a special fuel blend during the summer.
C、Some California petrol stations closed temporarily due to the fuel price spikes.
D、Some refineries have gone offline because of a power cut.

答案 C

解析 本题考查对新闻大意的把握。新闻的第一句话往往点明新闻的主旨大意,所以由句(28)可知,本则新闻主要报道的是油价上涨以及供应短缺导致加州的一些加油站暂时关闭。因此C为正确答案。
