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.
[br] Why do American Indians protest against the construction of this pipeline?
选项
A、Because it will cost up to $3.8 billion.
B、Because it threatens the region’s water supply.
C、Because it will make many people lose their jobs.
D、Because it will force many people to leave their homes.
答案
B
解析
细节题。题干问的是“为什么美国印第安人抗议反对输油管道的建设?”根据定位句“他们同时认为管道可能会污染当地的主要水源——密苏里河”可知,印第安人反对管道建设的一个原因是担心管道会污染水源。A项“因为工程耗资达38亿”,不是印第安人抗议的原因;C项“因为很多人会因此失业”和D项“这将迫使很多人离开家园”均未在文中提及,故选B。
