10、短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。APetroleum, consisting of crude oil(原油) and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment(海洋沉淀物). Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the
11、 sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved.Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas
12、 and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.Oil pools ar
13、e valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference(密度差) with water beneat
14、h it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighbori
15、ng wells to help push the oil out.As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty
16、 involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the oceans continental shelves. More than one-quarter of the worlds oil and almost one-fifth of the worlds natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive tha
17、n drilling on land.Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 per cent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.()21. Which o
18、f the following is TRUE about petroleum formation?A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas.B. Large amounts of oxygen are needed for petroleum formation to begin.C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decaying organisms.D. Petroleum
19、 formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists.()22. What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate?A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land.B. Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.C. The global demand for oil ha
20、s been increasing over the years.D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.()23. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage?A. The formation, processing and exploration of petroleum.B. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration.C. The changing relationshi
21、ps between countries.D. The future intense situation in oil product markets.()24. What can we infer from the passage?A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well.B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.C. Countrie
22、s may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil.D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.BThe early lack of exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM)can be harmful to achieving gender(性别) balance in these
23、fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.While at home, girls generally dont get to experience the level of exposure or encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle, but its the first hurdle that faces and confuses so ma
24、ny women. Boys, on the other hand, get on their path, and are encouraged to do so, generally earlier than girls. For example, boys are more often given science sets as toys, which spark an interest in these subjects.In school, boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science class
25、es. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a people, a country, and a planet, we can no longer look to only half of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain su
26、bject and career paths, they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.Our bias(偏见) towards girls, either from families or from schools, is so rooted in our culture that we often dont even recognize it. Although the situation has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years, there is sti
27、ll a sense, that girls arent as good at math, for instance, even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief.It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making ef
28、forts to break them, we are limiting the potentials of our youth, both male and female. Providing the necessary resources, exposure, and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldnt determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make the
29、m less feminine.()25. According to the passage, not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because .A. girls are not as good at STEM as boysB. girls do not like to take science classesC. girls get fewer chances to know about STEMD. girls seldom survive the high pressure positions()26. The underlined w

The main purpose of the passage is to .A. show womens potentials in STEM fieldsB. praise womens contributions to STEM fieldsC. describe the present gender bias in STEM fieldsD. call for more involvement of women in STEM fields()28.
