思考题解析：

A. ecological benefits of the pandemic maybe here to stay

(疫情的生态效益可能将持续)

A选项文章没有依据，，所以排除!

B. it is unwise for government to stimulate the economy

(政府刺激经济是不明智的)

没有说刺激经济是否明智。

而是：

试图向一些支持现有产业且会增加我们对化石燃料依赖的项目注入公共资金，

会带来不好的结果。

这属于偷换!

刺激高碳经济不明智≠刺激经济不明智!

C. industries with high carbon footprint may be replaced

(高碳足迹的工业可能被取代)

没有谈及!加了May也不对!排除!

D. governments may deepen our reliance on oil and gas

Steep fall in emissions during coronavirus is no cause for celebration

疫情下排放的大幅下降并非值得庆祝的理由

背景：为应对新冠肺炎疫情，全球大多数国家和地区都采取了一定的封禁政策，人类活动的大幅度减少却显著地改善了生态环境：威尼斯的运河几十年来首次变得清澈，印度则30年来首次看见喜马拉雅山。根据科学杂志《自然气候变化》的一份报告，截止四月初，平均二氧化碳排放已经下降17%。但专家们认为，这些生态环境的“疫”外之喜并不值得我们庆祝，短暂的碳减排也不会影响全球变暖的灾难性水平，我们离达到巴黎协定制定的目标仍旧长路漫漫。今年生态环境的向好并非人类的主动作为，而是经济停滞的附带结果，随着各国重新恢复生产生活(显然大部分人不可能永远会生活，不干活)，这种改善将迅速被抹平。若各国政府不仅没有采取更环保的产业政策，反而为振兴经济而向传统行业提供金融支持，那我们离减排的目标会更加遥远。
