Oil

pools

are

valuable

underground

accumulations

of

oil,

and

oil

fields

are

regionunderlain

by

one

or

more

oil

pools.

When

an

oil

pool

or

field

has

been

discovered,wells

are

drilled

into

the

ground.

Permanent

towers,

called

derricks,

used

to

be

buhandle

the

long

sections

of

drilling

pipe.

Now

portable

drilling

machines

are

set

uare

then

dismantled

and

removed.

When

the

well

reaches

a

pool,

oil

usually

rises

upthe

well

because

of

its

density

difference

with

water

beneath

it

or

because

of

thepressure

of

expanding

gas

trapped

above

it.

Although

this

rise

of

oil

is

almost

alwcarefully

controlled

today,

spouts

of

oil,

or

gushers,

were

common

in

the

past.

Gaspressure

gradually

dies

out,

and

oil

is

pumped

from

the

well.

Water

or

steam

may

bepumped

down

adjacent

wells

to

help

push

the

oil

out.

At

a

refinery,

the

crude

oil

frunderground

is

separated

into

natural

gas,

gasoline,

kerosene,

and

various

oils.Petrochemicals

such

as

dyes,

fertilizer,

and

plastic

are

also

manufactured

from

thpetroleum.?

Which

of

the

following

can

be

inferred

from

paragraph

3

about

gushers??

A.They

make

bringing

the

oil

to

the

surfaceeasier.?

B.They

signal

the

presence

of

huge

oilreserves.?

C.They

waste

more

oil

than

they

collect.?

D.They

are

unlikely

to

occur

nowadays.四. 練習?

B.they

received

different

amounts

of

solar

energy?

C.their

interiors

contained

different

amounts

of

heat?

D.their

early

atmospheres

contained

different

levels

of

oxygen

and

nitrogen?

Venus

and

Earth

are

commonly

regarded

as

twin

planets

but

not

identical

twins.

They

are

aboutthe

same

size,

are

composed

of

roughly

the

same

mix

of

materials,

and

may

have

beencomparably

endowed

at

their

beginning

with

carbon

dioxide

and

water.

However,

the

twinsevolved

differently,

largely

because

of

differences

in

their

distance

from

the

Sun.

With

asignificant

amount

of

internal

heat,

Venus

may

continue

to

be

geologically

active

with

volcanoes,rifting,

and

folding.

However,

it

lacks

any

sign

of

a

hydrologic

system

(water

circulation

anddistribution):

there

are

no

streams,

lakes,

oceans,

or

glaciers.

Space

probes

suggest

that

Venusmay

have

started

with

as

much

water

as

Earth,

but

it

was

unable

to

keep

its

water

in

form.?

It

can

be

inferred

from

paragraph

2

that

Earth

evolved

The

human

population

on

Earth

has

grown

to

the

point

that

it

is

having

an

effect

onEarths

atmosphere

and

ecosystems.

Burning

of

fossil

fuels,

deforestation,

urbanizaticultivation

of

rice

and

cattle,

and

the

manufacture

of

chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)forpropellants

and

are

increasing

the

concentration

of

carbon

dioxide,

methnitrogen

oxides,

sulphur

oxides,

dust,

and

in

the

atmosphere.

About

70

percent

ofSuns

and

these

surfaces

then

reradiate

This

allows

gas

is

one

that

infrared

radiation

and

some

of

this

radiation
