综合推理题题目如下

The table below estimates XTO Energy's Natural Gas reserves, production, and revenue for years 1 through 12.

For each of the following statements, select True if the statement can be verified to be true based on the information provided. Otherwise, select False.

1. In at least 1 year, the annual production exhausted the entire supply of reserves remaining for XTO Energy.

2. The rate of production annually is estimated to increase then decrease over years 1 through 12

3. Cumulative revenue expected over years 1 through 12 is no more than $80M

正确答案：

T、T、F

题目解析：

图表信息展示的是 XTO公司1-12年，每年年初的库存量，当年的产量，平均价格和收入。

第一问问的是：XTO公司当年的生产时，把公司供应的原材料用完了，对应到图表上就是问的，当年的产量是否大于当年年初的库存量，如果大于等于，那就表示用完了库存量，如果小于，那就没有用完。最后一年，两个数字相等，所以存在，所以应该选T。

第二问：rate of production和产量是呈正比的，产量是先增后减，所以答案是T

第三问：把最后一列1-12年的revenue的整数加起来是80，所以肯定大于80，答案是F
