Question

BEIJING – Alarmed by the overreaching ambitions of many Chinese provinces to grow at all cost, China’s top economic chief is calling on officials to calm down and spare a thought for the environment.

Zhang Ping, who heads China’s National Development and Reform Commission, the central economic planning agency, said only five or six of China’s 30 provinces are targeting annual economic growth of 8 percent or 9 percent.

The remaining provinces are aiming for growth rates of more than 10 percent this year, with some wanting to double economic output in the coming five years.

“China has a planned energy supply of about 4 billion cubic tons of coal equivalent (等量的) for the next five years, and this is not enough to meet demands for economic growth to double,” he was quoted as saying on the news portal Sina. com.

Beijing is increasingly concerned with the ambitions of Chinese provinces across the country to chase high growth despite the central government’s urgent request for a more moderate and sustainable (可持續(xù)的) pace of expansion.

Years of rapid economic growth have taken a toll on China’s environment, with Beijing trying to remove some of the damage now. It has an annual growth target of 7 percent for the next five years, well down from last year’s 10 percent.

Zhang said Beijing has asked local governments to take into account the supply of “energy, environment, water and land” to set more reasonable growth target.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了我國絕大多數(shù)省份制訂的年度經(jīng)濟增長指標讓有關部門和人士憂心忡忡，環(huán)境、能源等問題日益突出，不可等閑視之，可持續(xù)性發(fā)展是解決之道。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的后半部分提到在中國的三十個省份中，只有五六個省份把年經(jīng)濟增長率目標定為8%和9%，由此可知比重很小，第三段的前半部分提到剩余的省份都把今年經(jīng)濟增長率目標定在10%以上，由此可知C項內(nèi)容正確。煤炭供應不能滿足隨后五年需要的假設是經(jīng)濟增長翻倍，故A項不恰當。故選C。

2.猜測詞義題。根據(jù)畫線部分后面提到北京現(xiàn)在正在努力消除一些危害，由此可推斷畫線部分短語表示“帶來破壞”。故選B。

3.主旨大意題。本文是一篇新聞報道，第一段是文章的中心段，過度渴望發(fā)展的同時，應該冷靜下來考慮環(huán)境問題，由此可知經(jīng)濟的快速增長應該與環(huán)境保護同步進行。故選C。

4.標題歸納題。既要保持經(jīng)濟增長，又要考慮環(huán)境、能源、水、土地等問題，以確定合理的增長目標，因此必須采用可持續(xù)性發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略。此外，倒數(shù)第三段的后半部分也是線索提示。故選D。

考點：新聞報道類短文閱讀。

點評：標題歸納題時還要遵循三個原則，即注意題的醒目性、概括性和針對性。醒目性——我們所判斷的標題如果放在文章的最前面，應該能使讀者一看到標題就對其內(nèi)容發(fā)生興趣，即，吸引讀者的眼球；概括性——指標題應最大限度地覆蓋全文，囊括文章的主要內(nèi)容，體現(xiàn)文章的主題；針對性——我們所選的標題不能偏題，必須指向具體文意，因此也應具備強烈的針對性。
