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.
The authors attitude towards energy industry is________.
选项 A、optimistic
B、sensitive
C、gloomy
D、scared
答案A
解析 题干问的是作者对于如今能源形势的态度，属于观点态度题，需要在理解全文的基础上寻求答案。但从最后一段可知，作者认为虽然目前有各种各样的状况，比如边缘政策等，但是只要我们合理处理两种能源的关系，我们会度过能源危机，由此可知，作者对于能源行业仍然是充满希望的，是乐观的，故A项为正确答案。由上述分析可知，B项sensitive“敏感的”，C项gloomy“悲观的”，D项scared“害怕的”均与作者态度不符，故均排除。
