When the top U.S. oil companies announced huge increases in profits this week, many consumer advocates raised complaints. At a time when American motorists are paying record-level prices for gasoline, some in the U.S. Congress think the oil company profits should be examined closely. The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is seeking tax return information on top U.S. oil companies from the Internal Revenue Service and some politicians are calling for a windfall profits tax. Of course, oil companies oppose such a move, citing similar or even higher profit increases in other industries, such as real estate, that have not caused controversy. Oil industry analysts, however, say a windfall profits tax might be counterproductive. Bob Tippee, editor of Houston-based Oil and Gas Journal, says large oil company profits could benefit consumers in the end.
3. What are the reactions to the oil companies’ huge increases in profits?
4. What do the oil industry analysts think of the windfall profits tax?
选项
A、Consumers give up motorcycles.
B、Some politicians suggest cutting down prices of gasoline.
C、Oil companies are not satisfied with it.
D、Some congressmen think oil companies should be examined.
答案
D
解析
新闻提到,对于石油公司的高利润,某些美国国会的议员认为对石油公司的利润需密切观察(should be examined closely),D所说与此相符。消费者虽然有怨言(raised complaints),并没有说放弃使用摩托车,A错误。汽油的价格高昂是事实,但新闻并没有提到“政客建议要降低油价”,B错误。新闻只提到石油公司反对征收暴利税(windfall profits tax),并没有提到他们是否满意高额的利润,C错误。
