"If Congress won’t act soon to protect future generations, I will," Barack Obama said last month in his state-of-the-union speech. "I will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take, now and in the future, to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy." This week Mr. Obama named the officials charged with fulfilling that directive: Gina McCarthy, his choice to head the Environmental Protection Agency, and Ernest Moniz, the prospective new secretary of energy. Their selection suggests that Mr. Obama is indeed serious about tackling climate change, but not doctrinaire in his approach.
Ms Mc Carthy already works at the EPA, where she is in charge of air quality. That has given her a leading role drafting the administration’s most ambitious and controversial environmental rules, including limits on emissions of greenhouse gases for new power plants and strict fuel-efficiency requirements for cars. She is the natural candidate to oversee the most obvious and consequential step Mr. Obama could take to stem global warming: a regulation curbing emissions from existing power plants.
Republicans do not fancy that idea at all, and have introduced bills in Congress to strip the EPA of its regulatory authority over greenhouse gases. They often accused Lisa Jackson, the agency’s previous boss, of disregarding the cumulative impact of its many clean-air rules, and suffocating industry as a result.
Yet Ms McCarthy makes an unlikely target. She has worked for Republican governors in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Industry groups mustered kind words about her nomination. As Mr. Obama put it," She’s earned a reputation as a straight-shooter."
The roles Ms McCarthy is playing include all EXCEPT ______.
选项
A、placing limits on greenhouse gas emissions
B、introducing bills about environment to Congress
C、drafting the administration’s environmental rules
D、supervising Mr. President’s steps on global warming
答案
B
解析
文章第二段第二句提到:That has given her a leading role drafting the administration’s most ambitious and controversial environmental rules,including limits on emissions of greenhouse gases for new power plants and strict fuel-efficiency requirements for cars.其中“drafting…rules”对应选项C;“limits on emissions of greenhouse gases”对应选项A。该段最后一句提到:She is the natural candidate to oversee the most obvious and consequential step Mr. Obama could take to stem global warming:a regulation curbing emissions from existing power plants.其中“oversee... step Mr. Obama could take...”对应选项D。故未提及的是选项B,即为答案。
