The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time, and in any case, the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use.
A. accidentally
B. probably
C. quarterly
D. recently
【答案解析】本题正确选项A。译文:石油供应可能会随时意外中断;不管怎样,以目前这种消费速度,只需30年左右,所有的油井都会枯竭。解析:题中画线词unexpectedly意为“出乎意料地,意外地”;在四个选项中,A项accidentally“意外地;偶然地”;B项probably意为“大概;或许;很可能”;C项quarterly意为“季度的,按季度的;一年四次的”;D项recently意为“最近;新近”,这里需要选择和画线词unexpectedly相近的词,因此,依据题意在四个选项中最符合题意的选项是A。
