问题 What is the new item mainly about?
Authorities around the Gulf of Mexico are in a race against time. They are trying to control an oil spill that’s heading toward the Louisiana Shore. Yesterday, it was about 23 miles off the coast of Louisiana, could reach land by Friday. (24) If that happens, officials say it could create an ecological disaster. This is all from the Deepwater Horizon. That’s the oil rig that sank in the Gulf last week. The company that owns the rig is trying to stop the leak underwater. Meanwhile, authorities on shore are trying to block the oil from getting to sensitive areas.
选项 A、The shortage of oil along Louisiana Shore.
B、The oil leak around the Gulf of Mexico.
C、The sinking of oil rig in the Gulf.
D、Authorities are in a race against time.
答案 B
解析 主旨题。根据新闻，墨西哥海湾一带的当权者们正与时间赛跑。他们正试图控制向路易斯安那州海岸溢油的局面。到昨天为止，离路易斯安那州还有23英里，预计周五能扩散到陆地。这是由于上个星期石油钻塔沉入海底造成的。石油钻塔公司正在努力阻止海底的石油泄露。可见这篇新闻主要报道有关石油泄漏的问题，故正确答案是B。
