BEIJING--Alarmed by the overreaching ambitions of many Chinese provinces to grow at all costs, 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（可持续的）pace of expansion．
Years of rapid economic growth has 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 targets．

(答案→)D 解析：我国绝大多数省份制订的年度经济增长指标让有关部门和人士忧心忡忡，环境、能源等问题日益突出，不可等闲视之，可持续性发展是解决之道。【小题1】D 细节理解题。第二段的后半部分提到在中国的三十个省份中，只有五六个省份把年经济增长率目标定为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经济增长率目标定在10%以上，由此可知D项内容正确。煤炭供应不能满足随后五年需要的假设是经济增长翻倍，故C项不恰当。【小题2】C 猜测词义题。画线部分后面提到北京现在正在努力消除一些危害，由此可推断画线部分短语表示“带来破坏”。【小题3】D 主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段是文章的中心段，过度渴望发展的同时，应该冷静下来考虑环境问题，由此可知经济的快速增长应该与环境保护同步进行。【小题4】C 标题概括题。既要保持经济增长，又要考虑环境、能源、水、土地等问题，以确定合理的增长目标，因此必须采用可持续性发展战略。此外，倒数第三段的后半部分也是线索提示。
