Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
The town of Whiting, Indiana, is home to the largest inland oil refinery in the United States.(10-1)The energy company BP operates the Whiting Refinery, which originally was built by the Standard Oil Company in 1889.(10-2)Now with heavier crude oil piped into the facility from Canadian tar sands, the facility is getting a multi-billion dollar upgrade.(10-3)BP’s investment in the refinery is an economic windfall for the small town, but environmentalists say the improvements bring increased pollution.
选项
A、The investment is not profitable for Whiting.
B、The investment is not environmentally friendly.
C、BP is increasing more crude oil from American tar sands.
D、BP began to run the Whiting plant in 1889.
答案
B
解析
本题设题点在信息列举处。根据句(10一1)可知,怀亭炼油厂由标准石油公司建于1889年,现由能源公司BP经营,故排除[D];根据句(10一2)可知,如今公司将更多的加拿大沥青砂提炼的原油输送到该厂,并将工厂设备进行了耗资数十亿的升级,故排除[C];根据句(10一3)可知,对该城镇而言,英国石油公司对炼油厂的投资是有经济利益的,但环保人士认为这会带来更多污染,故排除[A]。因此正确答案为[B]。
