The gasoline . Let’s fill the car up at the next gas station.
| A.is running out | B.has run out | C.is being run out | D.has been run out |
A
解析试题分析:考察时态。动词短语run out用完,耗尽;该短语没有被动语态。故排除CD项。根据后半句,说明汽油还没有用完,还有一些,只不过就要用完了。故使用现在进行时表示将来时。句意:汽油就要用完了。我们在下一个加油站加油吧!根据句意说明A正确。
考点:考察时态
点评:英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定,因此在学习英语时态时,要注意分析动词形式及具体语境,想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景,这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。
The gasoline . Let’s fill the car up at the next gas station.

On April 24th, another natural disaster—the oil spill(泄露) in the Gulf of Mexico, happened.Millions of dollars have been used to help stop the spill and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil.Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea.
But governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage.Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run.
Of all of today's environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious.Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material.In the end, it breaks down naturally.In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tons of oil into the ocean.If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened.
However, we should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil.Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power(太阳能), electricity, hydrogen, and so on.Much of this research, in the past, was stopped by the oil, gas, and coal.
If the world's millions of cars were 10% more efficient(高效的),we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year.If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too.
