1、首届“中国石化杯”全国石油科技翻译大赛初赛真题 2014年及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：120 分钟)一、初赛：2014 年 6月 18日2014 年 7(总题数：1，分数：0.00)1.Passage 1 Petroleum (also called crude oil), in the unre?ned or crude form, like many industrial feedstocks has little or no direct use and its value as an industrial commodity is only realized after

2、the production of salable products. Even then, the market demand dictates the type of products that are needed. Therefore, the value of petroleum is directly related to the yield of products and is subject to the call of the market. Petroleum re?ning, also called petroleum processing, is the recover

Synthetic crude oil, produced from tar sand (oil sand) bitumen, is also used as feed stocks in some re?

4、neries. Heavy oil conversion, as practiced in many re?neries, does not fall into the category of synthetic fuels (syncrude) production. In terms of liquid fuels from coal and other carbonaceous feedstocks, such as oil shale, the concept of a synthetic fuels industry has diminished over the past seve

In general, crude oil, once re?ned, yields three basic groupings of products that are produced when it is separated into a variety of different generic, but often overlapping fractions. The amount
