        (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.”]

4. What did ScottishPower’s chief executive say ahead of the All Energy Conference?（苏格兰电力公司的首席执行官在全能源大会之前说了什么？）

解析：A。录音中提到，苏格兰电力公司的首席执行官在全能源大会之前表示，要在技术和项目上投资，A项中的invest in technologies为原词复现，故A项正确。

错项排除：录音中，首席执行官表示，有大量现成的可再生能源供应，由此可知格拉斯哥已经无需再探索新的可再生能源，故B项错误。C项在录音中未提及，故排除。录音中首席执行官只是说格拉斯哥是全英国仅有的两个低排放区之一，并没有表示要尽快创建更多的低排放区，故D项错误。
