【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] 26-30 Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski imposed a state hiring freeze Wednesday because of the millions of dollars in revenue Alaska is losing as a result of the Prudhoe Bay oilfield shutdown, and said he would support hearings into BP's maintenance practices. The governor also said he would direct Alaska's attorney general to investigate whether the state could hold the oil giant fully accountable for the state's losses. Earlier this week, BP said it would shut down Prudhoe Bay -- the biggest oilfield in the nation -- because of a small leak and severe pipeline corrosion. Energy officials have said the pipeline repairs are likely to take months, curtailing Alaskan production into next year. The expected loss of 400,000 barrels per day at today's oil prices means the state is losing about ＄6.4 million a day in royalties and taxes, Revenue Commissioner Bill Corbus said. The state receives 89 percent of its income from oil revenue; Alaska has no state sales tax and no personal income tax. Without money coming in from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska's government can operate for only about two months before going into the red, Corbus said. BP, the world's secondlargest oil company, said it would replace 16 miles of pipeline that carries oil from Prudhoe Bay to the 800-mile Trans-Alaska Pipeline. The Prudhoe Bay field accounts for 8 percent of US domestic output. Because oil demand is so high and the nation's petroleum supplies are so tight, the shutdown has already driven oil prices up and could mean higher prices at the gasoline pump as well. [分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。 关于阿拉斯加州长因Prudhoe Bay油田关闭采取的措施，原文中提到imposed a state hiring freeze，would support hearings into BP's maintenance practices 与选项B、C对应；而would... investigate whether the state could hold the oil giant fully accountable for the state's losses即将调查石油大公司是否应该对本州的损失负全部责任，与选项A对应。由此可见，只有D项内容文中未提到，该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 将各选项中关键词或短语与原文一一对应，注意识别同义替换。原文 accountable for 与A项中liability for 意思相当。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[分析] 因果关系的找寻和判断。 关于该油田关闭的原因，原文提到... because of a small leak and severe pipeline corrosion即由于少量泄露和严重的管道腐蚀。由此可见，B项的说法是正确的。 [解题关键] 掌握表示因果关系的信号词的使用。本题原文中because of 说明其后内容为原因。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[分析] 数字信息的找寻和判断。 原文指出油田的关闭means the state is losing about ＄6.4 million a day in royalties and taxes，由此可推测＄6.4 million×7=44.8 million。因此A项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 能够根据相关数字信息作简单的运算。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[分析] 事实细节的找寻和判断。 关于阿拉斯加州的财政情况，原文指出The state receives 89 percent of its income from oil revenue；Alaska has no state sales tax and no personal income tax. Without money coming in from Prudhoe Bay，Alaska's government can operate for only about two months before going into the red... 即石油收入占该州收入89％，阿拉斯加州没有销售税和个人收入所得税。失去油田的这笔收入，该州政府的正常工作只能维持大约两个月，而后政府将负债。由此可见，A、C、D的说法均与原文相符，而B项与原文不符。 [解题关键] 能够根据题干关键词正确定位到原文相关信息处，并将原文与选项内容仔细比较。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[分析] 主旨题。 本文首先提出阿拉斯加州由于Prudhoe Bay油田关闭所采取的措施，而后详细介绍了油田关闭的原因，对该州造成的各种巨大损失，以及对全国的油价波动造成的影响。由此可判断，概括全面的选项D为正确答案。 [解题关键] 注意将文中词汇归类。将该文中重点单词或短语归类，可发现都与阿拉斯加州的损失有关，因此与此内容有关的选项为正确答案。
