Text 1 Giant corporations often claim to be"green,"pointing to programs they've undertaken aimed at being environmentally conscious.But sometimes these efforts don't really amount to much.They can be no more than'igrcenwashing,"a public relations effort that doesn't represent any fundamental shift in thinking.But such a change may actually be going on among several of the world's largest fossil fuel companies,namcs such as ExxonMobil,Shell,and BP.One of the biggest reasons:pressure from the companies'sharcholdcrs.Investors arc asking corporations to make more transparent the effects climate change will have on their businesses,as well as explain what they are doing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.While sharcholdcr motivcs are cerlainly aimed at helping in the worldwide fight against global warming,they also represent a practical need to better understand a company's prospects.If the burning of oil and gas is grcaily curtailed as a result of the December 2015 intemational Paris climate agreement,for example,how might that affect the bottom line of a corporation whose chief source of revenue is extracting and selling carbon-emitting oil and gas?Or,conversely,how is a company planning to take advantage of the business opportunities that emerge from a shift away from fossil fuels?Climate Action 100+,for example,is a shareholder action group that is asking corporations to make stronger commitments to meeting the 80 percent cut in carbon emissions proposed by the Paris agreement signed two years ago by nearly 200 nations.Some 225 investment groups who manage more than S26.3 trillion have signed on in support.Last week,intemational energy giant ExxonMobil said it will step up its reporting to shareholders and the public about the impacts climate change will have on its business,including any expected increased risks.The new policy follows a vote by ExxonMobil investors at the company's annual meeting in May that called for a yearly assessment of the effects of climate change on the company.The new position represents a sea change for ExxonMobil,which until the early 2000s had disputed the need to take action on climate change.Around the world national govemments are shaping new policies in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a level that will not allow global temperatures to rise more than 2 degrees Celsius.In the U,S.,individual states and cities are pursuing lawsuits against companies that fail to deal responsibly with greenhouse gas emissions,which they contend harm the public.21.Big corporations are far away from"green"becauseA.they rarely do anything meaningful.B.they don't have any fundamental shift.C.they have poor public relations.D.they lack fundamental changes in thinking
选项
A.they rarely do anything meaningful.
B.they don't have any fundamental shift.
C.they have poor public relations.
D.they lack fundamental changes in thinking
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。根据定位词定位到文章第一段。第一段最后一句说明了大公司离“绿色”还很远的原因.即他们所做的努力只不过是“漂绿”,仅仅是为了公共关系,并不代表任何思维方面的根本转变.D项与此文义相符,故D项为正确答案。【干扰排除】原文说它们所开展的环保项目没有什么意义,但是并来说它们很少做有意义的事情,A项属于无中生有;原文说它们在思想上未做出根本转变.B项中“任何”一阋范围过大;C项原文未提及。故均排除。
