When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared environmental disasters. Would black soot in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?
    Many said "no way"; rain would wash the black soot from the atmosphere. However 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 didn’t catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds, and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.
    The only good news is that the oil lakes have out 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 gases are choking nearby residents.
    Officials are trying to .organize a quick cleanup, but they’re not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black soot detectors ready.

选项 A、To restore the normal production of the oil wells.
B、To estimate the losses caused by the fires.
C、To remove the oil left in the desert.
D、To use the oil left in the oil lakes.

答案 C

解析 同义转述题。根据各题题干推测出本文是说明文体后,可预测解决问题的建义或办法通常出现在文章的末尾段。因此,本题解题关键在把握好文章最后部分,关键句为 "Officials are trying to organize cleanup, but they’re not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil.由此可确定选项C。实际上是对本信息的同义表述。
