问题 What did US urge Russia to do?
  
U.S. officials are calling on Russia to implement reforms aimed at promoting foreign investment in its energy sector. The officials testified before a Senate panel Tuesday. Amid rising oil prices and expectations that global energy demands will increase in the coming years, a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee considered prospects for increasing oil and natural gas exports from Eurasia.
    "The United States may not become a primary, direct consumer of the oil and natural gas exports from Eurasia. But developing these reserves and bringing them to the world markets is a strategic, geopolitical, economic and energy interest for the United States," said Senator Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican, who chaired the hearing.
    Much of the focus of the hearing was on Russia, the world’s second largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, and the biggest source of gas reserves.

选项 A、US may not become the primary, direct consumer of the energy from Eurasia.
B、Bring back the Eurasia energy to the world market is important for US.
C、Russia is the world’s second largest oil and gas producer.
D、The United States is the biggest source of gas reserves.

答案B

解析 解答此题需要仔细留意录音并记录细节,A项“the energy”不符,原文说法是“of the oil andnatural gas exports”,Russia是世界上第二大石油生产国,是最大的天然气存储国,所以C项不对,根据C项的答案出处也可知D项错误。原文还提到“bringing them to the world markets is…for the United States”,此处可推断出B项说法正确。
