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. 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 fane. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwait 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 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. Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up but they are 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
题干中的the good news为定位信息,故在听的过程中要注意与之相关的信息。文中提到that the oil...the underground water resources,其中not affected与D 中的not been polluted所表达的意思基本一致,故答案为D 。
