【题目】Energy independence has a nice ring to it.Doesn’t it? If you think so, you’re not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.
“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through.What is it we want independence from, exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third, there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices.At the same time, we obtain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.

【解析】作为世界上最大的能源消费国,美国的“能源独立”听起来不错,这会改变全球能源市场格局,对于保持经济增长、保障能源安全、降低能源行业碳排放具有重大意义。
【1】A细节理解。按顺序原则及题干信息定位首段。“If you think so,you're not alone”表明作者持有同样想法,答案往“so”前面找——“Energy independence. It has a nice ring to it,doesn't it?” have a nice ring to sth.表示“听起来不错,令人向往”的意思,选项A的attractive是其同义改写。即使不了解短语,根据nice可判断正态度,答案选A。
【2】A推理判断。根据第五段Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad得相比从国外进口石油,美国人更看重环境质量,希望保持自己国家环境是完好的。选A。
【3】C细节理解。根据倒数第二段It allows for economic efficiency,and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do,we benefit得知作者认为石油贸易是有经济效益的。我们从中受益。选A。
