With the rich reserve (储藏〈量〉) of coal and relatively limited petroleum (石油) reserve,the former makes up 67.12 percent of energy consumption.By contrast,petroleum and natural gas take about 60 percent of the energy consumption in other countries. Such a situation is unlikely to change within a foreseeable future because the country still counts heavily on coal for more and more energy.If no measures with great effects are taken to improve the safety in the mines,the accidents will remain a long-term headache for China. Digging coal underground is,by its nature,a dangerous job.No equipment can guarantee 100 percent safety for the miners working underground because numerous uncertainties exist. Most of China’s coal mines are far from being mechanized.The average output of coal for each  Chinese coal miner every day is 1 ton,while the number in the US coal mines,where the production is highly mechanized,is 40 tons. Mechanized production in coal mines can cut down the number of miners who have to work on the dangerous coal face.It can also enhance the capability of the mines to detect potential danger.In this way the casualty of mine accidents will be decreased. Admittedly,the mechanized production demands financial support. But what is the price of a life,or a dozen,a score—a hundred?Compare these awful figures with the misery they bring,heavy investment is worthy. The writer’s attitude towards dealing with coal mine accidents is . A.critical B.sarcastic C.optimistic D.pessimistic 解析 作者态度题。第二段中提到，事故发生后，官员和矿主只是被惩罚、警告或罚款，而事故依然不断发生，由此可见作者对处理煤矿事故的做法持“批评”态度。后三项分别表示“讽刺的，乐观的，悲观的”。 A * 考前第八天 repair n. vt. 修理，修补；补救 repeat vt. 重说，重做，复述 report n. v. 报道，报告；谣言 reporter n. 记者，通讯员 represent vt. 代表，象征 request n. v. 请求，要求 require vt. 需求；要求 requirement n. 需要；要求 rescue n. vt. 营救，援救 research n. v. 研究，调查 resist v. 抵抗；挡开；忍得住resource n. 资源，财力；资料 respect vt. n. 尊敬，尊重
