问题 The immediate purpose of the government loan guarantees to the two solar energy companies is
[9] President Barack Obama has announced that two solar energy companies are to get government loan guarantees of nearly $2 billion for projects expected to create thousands of new jobs in America. He said the companies will construct a solar power generating plant and advanced solar panels.
    [10] Investing in green technology has been key to the administration’s attempts to get the economy back on track and to reduce the nation’s dependency on fossil fuels. Two companies have been offered government-backed loans totaling $2 billion for projects that are expected to create more than 5,000 new jobs. The biggest in Arizona will be the first large-scale solar plant in the US capable of storing the energy it generates. [10] It could cut carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to the amount generated by 90,000 cars a year.

选项 A、boosting domestic economy.
B、creating employment opportunities.
C、developing new energies.
D、reducing the nation’s dependency on fossil fuels.

答案 B

解析 信息转述题。题干关键词为immediate purpose。听音时注意辨别政府投资太阳能公司的直接目的。新闻首句提到,奥巴马总统宣布,两家太阳能公司将获得政府担保的接近20亿美元的贷款,预期两家公司的项目将在美国创造数千个就业岗位。因此直接目的应是[B]“创造就业机会”。文中虽然提及这项举动会促使经济回归正轨([A]),减少美国对石化燃料的依赖([D]),但这二者不是直接目的。
