The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earth’s resources has brought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The overdevelopment of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near-destruction of our cities, the breakup of the family, and the pollution not only of local air but also of the earth’s atmosphere. The disaster has arrived in the form of the energy crisis.
Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. It is also unlike the great natural disasters of the past. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long-range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.
This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in the land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.
This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to devise new methods through which the world can survive. This is a priceless opportunity.
To grasp it we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis confronting us--and the world--a crisis that is no passing inconvenience, no by-product of the ambitions of the oil- producing countries, no environmentalists’ mere fears, no by-product of any present system of government. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the world’s children and future generation.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
选项
A、the energy crisis is similar to the natural disasters we had in the past
B、the problem of energy is the most serious problem our country is confronted with
C、the author is uninterested in the problems of our society
D、the author is particularly worried about the crises we are facing
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。本题主要就原文中一些具体细节问题进行推断。我们可以看到作者对社会中存在的一些问题的态度,他非常关注我们面临的各种危机。所以正确答案选D。A项和原文意义完全不符;B项“能源问题是我们国家面临的最严重的问题,”我们从文章中可以看出,作者一直在强调道德问题也很重要;C项没有能够正确地反映作者对社会问题的态度,所以不选。
