问题     Countries must creatively complement the use of fossil fuels and renewable energy in the interim pending when renewable energy can stand alone as major source of energy globally. This was the view of the Chief Executive Officer, Lekoil, Lekan Akinyanmi, while speaking on the side-lines of the World Economic Forum’s yearly meeting at Davos.
    Globally, there has been an increase in calls for reduction of fossil fuel consumption which environmentalists have indicted for greenhouse gas emission. "It is possible to keep an oil and gas company sustainable. The first thing we have got to do is to stop denying that there is an issue." Indeed, there is an issue, Akinyanmi said. "The change over from fossil fuel to alternative energy or cleaner fuels is a multi-decade or probably multi-century thing. The fossil fuel industry will still be relevant. What we need to do is to figure out ways to be responsible in the fossil fuel production and consumption process." Historically, a lot of fossil fuel companies have produced oil and flared the gas. But it is actually the gas that is more efficient. It’s friendlier to the environment, so we need to shift our attention there. From our perspective as Lekoil one of the things that helps us is that, a good chunk of our portfolio is actually gas so we are actually well on our way.
    Energy analysts suggest that the renewable energy market will grow at a cumulative average growth rate of 7.6％ between 2020 and 2025 to reach 3,812 gigawatts by 2025. Rising investment and improvement in technology has seen a drastic improvement in renewable energy output. Between 2020 and 2025, the United States and other developed countries are scaling up investments in renewable energy. However, The Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest-growing market for renewable energy globally, accounting for nearly 27％ of the global market share. Within the Asia Pacific, China and India together form the leading renewable energy markets having almost 75％ of the installed capacity of renewable energy.
    I think we will make our way through this. Unfortunately, I think there is a lot of brinkmanship. "We actually do need an energy mix to solve the world’s energy problems. In the interim there will be discontinuities, the pendulum will swing both ways. But it is shortsighted to just ignore the fossil fuel industry and move to the renewable energy industry or vice versa. We need a portfolio that mixes both energy sources," Akinyanmi said.
By referring to the view of Lekoil, Lekan Akinyanmi, the author intends to________.
选项 A、bring up the topic of fossil fuels and renewable energy
B、explain why renewable energy are better than fossil fuels
C、pay special attention to the Chief Executive Officer
D、emphasize the importance of renewable energy
答案A
解析 根据题干关键词the view of Lekoil, Lekan Akinyanmi可定位至文章第一段。第一段第二句出现题干中的人名Lekan Akinyanmi，然而这句只是表明了他的身份the Chief Executive Officer(首席执行官)，以及其何时发表的观点while speaking on the side-lines of the World Economic Forum’s yearly meeting at Davos(在达沃斯世界经济论坛年度会议分会上发表的观点)。而根据第二句开头This was the view of the Chief Executive Officer可知，this view指的是第一句提到的内容，即在可再生能源能够成为全球主要能源之前，各国必须在过渡期间创造性地补充化石燃料和可再生能源的使用。由此可见，Lekan Akinyanmi的观点是为了引出化石燃料和可再生能源这个话题，故选项A为答案。文中虽然提及化石燃料和可再生能源，但是并没有说哪个更好，故B项应排除；Chief Executive Officerr只是对Lekan Akinyanmi身份的补充说明，并不是作者要讨论的内容，故C项也应排除；文章确实有提及可再生能源，但是并没有说到其重要性，故D项无中生有，也应排除。
