        (3) [Glasgow has pledged to become the first carbon neutral city in the UK.] The city’s council and ScottishPower have announced a range of strategies in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions ahead of the new national target of 2045.

        First Minister Nicola Sturgeon welcomed the pledge and said: “Today’s announcement between ScottishPower and Glasgow City Council—to make Glasgow the UK’s first Net-Zero city—is a very welcome step. Reaching our goals will need exactly this kind of partnership approach—with government, business, local authorities and citizens all playing their part.”

        Speaking ahead of the All Energy Conference being held in Glasgow, ScottishPower chief executive Keith Anderson said: “We have a large supply of renewable energy on our doorstep and one of the only two low emission zones in action across the UK. (4) [Now we need to invest in the technologies and programmes that transform the rest of Glasgow’s economy and make us Net Zero before anyone else.”]

3. What do we learn from the news report?（我们从新闻报道中可以知道什么？）

解析：C。录音中提到，格拉斯哥承诺成为英国第一个碳中和城市。C项中的Glasgow has pledged to为原词复现，take the lead in reducing carbon emissions in the UK是对录音中become the first carbon neutral city in the UK的同义转述，故C项正确。

错项排除：录音中想要提前达到国家碳减排目标的是苏格兰的城市格拉斯哥，并非整个苏格兰，故A项错误。录音中表示，格拉斯哥市议会和苏格兰电力公司宣布了一系列战略措施（announced a range of strategies），并非达成某种协议（made a deal），故B项错误。录音中提到，尼古拉·斯特金对格拉斯哥的承诺表示欢迎，并没有说他敦促苏格兰电力公司减少碳排放，故D项错误。
