If the Dakota Access Pipeline(输油管道) is completed, it will carry nearly half a million barrels of oil across four states every day. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) , a Texas-based company behind the $3. 8 billion project, hopes to finish construction this year. But the Standing Rock Sioux, an American Indian tribe(部落), is determined to stop the 1,172-mile pipeline from being built. (76)
Both sides show no signs of backing down.
The Dakota Access Pipeline was announced in 2014. A section of it will run near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation. A reservation is an area of land set aside for American Indians. The tribe says the construction threatens to destroy historical areas and ancient burial sites. They also say the pipeline could pollute their main water source, the Missouri River. In April, the Standing Rock Sioux began a protest against the project. They camped at the construction site. Since then, thousands of people, including people from American Indian tribes, have traveled to the site to join the protest.
ETP says that the pipeline will have built-in safety measures to protect against oil leaks. Workers will also monitor it remotely, and will be able to close valves (阀) within three minutes if leaks are detected.
American Indians have been staging a nonviolent protest for months. The protest took a turn last week when police were called to keep the peace between protesters and armed security guards hired by the company.
(77)
Twenty-eight people have been arrested since then and charged with interfering with the pipeline construction.

A、This pipeline will cross four states.
B、This pipeline is 1,172 miles long.

解析
综合分析题。题干问的是“根据文章,下列哪个表述不正确?”根据定位句分别得出四个选项:A项“如果达科塔输油管道完工,每天近50万桶原油将跨越四个州进行输送。”;B项“立岩苏族决定要中止1172英里长的输油管道的修建”;C项“此后,几千人,包括美国其他印第安部落的人们纷纷来到工地加入抗议大军。”;D项“双方都没有表示妥协的迹象。”。A、B、D三个选项均符合文中表述,只有C项不完全符合,故选C。
