Read the passage below and answer the questions from 66 to 70.
The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and
northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it
begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate.
The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves
through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forest, and
passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84
million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily.
Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents", long section of pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen
earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on. The
pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic
climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, or permafrost (permanently frozen
ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from
3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil.
One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $ 8 billion and is by far the biggest and most
expensive construction ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money,
so 8 major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil rights to
particular share of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline- construction fund according the size of its
holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor
disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has
been completed and is operating.
