　　Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure Americas energy future? President Bush certainly thinks

　　so. He has argued that tapping ANWRs oil would help ease Californias electricity

　　crisis and provide a major boost to the countrys energy independence. But no one

　　knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the

　　last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion

　　to 16 billion barrels.

　　The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as

　　10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million

　　barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the

　　nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi

　　Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall

　　(意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska

　　and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the

　　environment would be insignificant. "Weve never had a document case of oil rig

　　chasing deer out onto the pack ice." says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.

　　Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government

　　estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than

　　3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR,

　　a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease Americas energy

　　problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because

　　drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits

　　and regulatory review. As for ANWRs impact on the California power crisis,

　　environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden

　　States electricity output-and just 3% of the nations.

　　1. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?

　　A) It will exhaust the nations oil reserves.

　　B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.

　　C) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region

　　D) it will not have much commercial value

　　4. What do the environmentalists mean by saying "Not so fast" (Line 1, Para. 3)?

　　A) Oil exploitation takes a long time

　　B) The oil drilling should be delayed
