问题 What is the Court’s attitude towards the government’s function in the control of greenhouse gases?
What did the court think of the EPA’s excuses for its inaction?

选项 A、The court denied the EPA’s excuses as sufficient for its inaction.
B、It remained undecided whether the court accepted the excuses.
C、The court thought the excuses are similar to that of coal-fired power plants.
D、The court will examine the EPA’s excuses further.

答案A

解析 根据题干中the EPA’s excuses for its inaction,可以定位到第二段的第三句话。这句话的结构较复杂,中间有一个插入结构,环保局提出了两个他们不作为的理由:一是从宏观看美国的汽车排放量是微不足道的;二是美国单方的行动会对于在全球变暖问题上达成国际共识所作的努力不利。但是法院否认了这是充分的理由。所以,根据inadequate可以判断法院否认了其理由的充分性。文章说对于治理火力能源工厂的裁定悬而未决,故可排除B;这段的倒数第二句提到法规并未对与机动车辆排放相似的由火力供给能源的工厂排放进行规定,而不是说火力供给能源的工厂与环保局提出了相似的理由,故排除C;法院已经认为环保局的理由不充分,不需要进一步调查,故可排除D。
