题目解答

答案

解析

本题考查对新闻内容的理解，重点在于因果关系和细节信息提取。

  1. 问题5需明确原油价格变化的具体情况；
  2. 问题6需分析价格变化的根本原因（供需关系）；
  3. 问题7需关注石油产量激增的技术驱动因素。
    解题核心是抓住新闻中的关键数据（如价格数值）和逻辑关系（如“供应超过需求导致价格下跌”）。

第5题

关键信息：新闻开头指出原油价格从$100/桶跌至$46.50/桶，明确说明价格“跌至一半以下”。
答案对应：选项A（It drops by half）直接对应“less than half of that”这一表述。

第6题

关键信息：新闻中提到“current surplus of oil”（当前石油过剩）导致价格下跌，明确指出是供过于求。
答案对应：选项C（There was more supply than demand）与“supply exceeds demand”一致。

第7题

关键信息：文中强调“new technologies like fracking and horizontal drilling”使深埋石油可被开采，且美国等国家产量创新高。
答案对应：选项D（New technologies helped people to obtain more oil）直接关联技术进步对产量的推动作用。
