问题    The most significant feature is that oil production will increase sharply in almost all the selected Gulf countries. Kuwait and Iraq are both expected to double their output between 1990 and 2010, with Kuwait’s production rising from 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in 1990 to 3.8 in 2010. Iran will also increase its output by a slightly smaller amount. After remaining steady at 2.5 million bpd from 1990 to 2000, the UAE’s output is expected to approach 4.0 million bpd in 2010. Only Qatar’s production is predicted to fall, back to 0.8 million bpd after a slight rise in 2000.
   However, the greatest increase will be from Saudi Arabia. In 1990, its output capacity at 8.5 million bpd exceeded the combined production of Iran, Iraq and Kuwait. This lead is expected to continue with a 75% increase in production to 24.5 million bpd in 2010.

选项

答案24.5 million bpd

解析 该题在文章的最后一段。可以清楚地看到,这一段只是讲到了Saudi Arabia“沙特阿拉伯”的产量。文章中提到的Iran, Iraq and Kuwait“伊朗、伊拉克和科威特”只是一个比较。因此,可以判断答案就是这一段的最后一句。而且,答案中的句子与原文基本一致。
