问题 According to the news, ETS is
[22C]The Australian government says it will push back a planned carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) by a year.
    Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said the delay was necessary because of the poor economic climate.
    But he also suggested that Australia could pursue tougher [21 A] emissions reductions targets if an international deal was reached.
     [22C]The ETS, which has been criticized by both industrial and environment groups, was due to launch in July 2010.
    Businesses say the scheme will delay economic recovery and lead to job losses. The environmental lobby, meanwhile, says that the targets are not tough enough.
    Australia has the highest per capita emissions in the developed world and coal is its biggest export.

选项 A、meant to reduce carbon emissions.
B、given up due to the economic climate.
C、believed to be harmful to environment.
D、welcomed by the economists.

答案A

解析 新闻开头提到,ETS代表的是emissions trading scheme,即二氧化碳排放量交易方案;再由后面提到的emissions reductions可知,该方案是为了减少碳的排放量,所以[A]正确。澳大利亚只是暂时推迟了计划,而并未废止,因此[B]错误;[C]、[D]两项表述与新闻正好相反。
