"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."
According to the first paragraph, we can conclude that ______.
选项
A、Obama will treat environmental protection seriously
B、Obama will limit the use of cars to reduce air pollution
C、America will soon find sustainable sources for their descendants
D、America faces a more serious environmental problem compared with other nations
答案
A
解析
选项A对应第一段最后一句:Their selection suggests that Mr. Obama is indeed serious about tackling climate change,but not doctrinaire in his approach.可见该项表达正确。选项B属于无中生有。选项C中的“will soon”过于绝对。原文说的是:...and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy.意为“加速向更可持续的能源过渡”,而没有说很快找到可持续的资源。故该项错误。文章没有涉及与“other nations”的对比,故选项D也是错误的。
