问题 According to the news item, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Around half of the area of the UK is being opened up for exploration. But there’s expected to be particular interest in the north of England, which is thought to contain enough shale gas to power Britain for decades.
    The licensing round is intended to accelerate the exploitation of shale, but it’s only the first step. Firms also need a series of planning, environmental and health and safety consents.
    While the government hopes the industry will generate jobs and reduce its dependency on imported gas, it will not be at any cost.(5)The government is tightening the rules around drilling in National Parks. Fracking will not be banned, but it’s likely to be permitted only in exceptional circumstances.

选项 A、Fracking will be allowable in National Parks.
B、Most of the area of the UK is being opened up for exploration.
C、The south of England is of particular interest to explorers.
D、The licensing round helps accelerate the exploitation of shale.

答案 A

解析 本题设题点在细节处。根据句(5)可知,政府正在加强在国家公园附近钻井的法规,液压破碎法不会被禁止,但极有可能仅在特殊情况下才被允许使用,故答案为[A]。英国近一半的区域被用于开发,并非大部分,故排除[B];开发者的兴趣点在英国北部,并非南部,故排除[C]:[D]在文中未提及,故排除。
