托福写作语料库：新西兰禁止近海采油

2018-04-21 12:00:00来源：网络

　　在托福写作备考中，大家还是需要不断的更新自己的素材库。这样才能够在写作中，有更新颖的内容，来提升。新东方在线托福网为大家整理了有关“新西兰禁止近海采油”的写作素材。

　　New Zealand has stunned(震惊) the energy industry(能源行业) by slapping a new cap on(扣帽子/限制) drilling for oil and gas(开采石油和天然气) in its waters(水域) as part of efforts to combat(对抗) climate change(气候变化).

　　Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced Thursday that the government will "no longer be granting(准许/批准) any new offshore(近海的) oil and gas exploration permits(开采许可)."

　　"This is another step on our transition(过渡/转变) away from fossil fuels(化石燃料) and towards a carbon neutral economy(碳中和经济，指无碳排放的)," Ardern said in a speech.

　　The country's oil industry quickly voiced its anger(表达了愤怒) over the move(针对该举措).

　　"The decision is a lose-lose(双输) for New Zealand's economy and environment, likely to threaten jobs(导致失业) and mean higher prices for consumers," said Cameron Madgwick, CEO of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand.

　　"Because petroleum(石油) is produced to meet growing global demand(满足全球的需求), not exploring and producing in New Zealand simply means other countries will produce it instead and we will have to import it at higher cost," he said.

　　Madgwick said that "huge investments have been made by companies already anticipating(预料) offshore block offers, which have now gone to waste and people's jobs will be affected." The association(协会) said the oil and gas industry employs more than 11,000 people "at peak times(高峰期)."

　　The government said that the oil industry should instead use its expertise(专业度) in more environmentally and economically sustainable areas(经济环保的领域), such as mining materials for solar panels(开采制作太阳能面板所需要的材料).

　　Angus Rodger, a research director at consultancy(咨询公司) Wood Mackenzie, said New Zealand's move was "a bold step(大胆的一步)."

　　The country was sending a clear message that(传达一个明确的信息) it was prepared to leave oil and gas production behind(放弃......), and the tax revenues(税收) and jobs that go with it, he added.

　　"Industry interest in New Zealand oil and gas is actually higher now than it has been for a number of years," Rodger said, pointing to recent investments by companies such as Austria's OMV Group (OMVKY) and Malaysia's Sapura Energy. It's unclear how they and others will interpret(解读) the government's announcement, he added.

　　The prime minister(首相) made clear that the government would honor(尊重) existing offshore exploration permits.
