问题                 The Documentary Film "An Inconvenient Truth"
    Ever since "An Inconvenient Truth", Al Gore has been the darling of those who advocate protecting environment, but that movie hardly made him closer to the animal rights folks. According to them, the most inconvenient truth of all is that raising animals for meat contributes more to global warming than all the sport vehicles combined.
    Now the biggest animal rights groups have accepted a belief that eating meat is worse for the environment than driving. They and smaller groups have started advertising campaigns that try to make vegetarianism equal to limiting greenhouse gases. Some opposite idea against this opinion is inevitable , the groups acknowledge, but they do have scientific evidences. In late November, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a report stating that the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas than all forms of transportation combined.
    When that report came out, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and other groups expected those environment protectors to immediately hop on the " Go Veggie!" wagon, but that did not happen. So the animal rights groups began to act. PETA made a model with a driver in a chicken suit and a banner proclaiming meat as the top cause of global warming, and it would soon distribute fly sheets that highlight the impact of eating meat on global warming.
    The society is not only concerned with what happens to domestic animals, but also with preventing the death that global warming could cause to polar bears, seals and other wildlife. The global warming has become an animal welfare issue.
    Some people argued that people like Al Gore—or environmental groups with deeper pockets than his—have not stepped up to the plate. " Al Gore calls global warming a critical risk to humanity, yet it hasn’t prompted him to change his diet or even mention avoiding eating meat," they complained. And maybe the environment protectors will recognize that it’s a lot easier to ask people to put in a fluorescent light bulb than to learn to cook with tofu.
What is the "An Inconvenient Truth"?
选项 A、It is a big lie told by Al Gore.
B、It is a truth which is incredible.
C、It is a movie in which Gore delivers a speech.
D、It is an imaginary story told by Gore.
答案C
解析 事实细节题。由题干中“An Inconvenient Truth”定位到第一段第一句。由句子结构可知，本句中由but引起的小分句中提到的that movie就是指“An Inconvenient Truth”由此可知[C]“一部戈尔讲述的电影”符合文章意思。[A]“阿尔·戈尔撒的一个弥天大谎”、[B]“一个令人难以置信的真相”和[D]“只是由戈尔虚构的一个故事”不符合文意，故排除。
