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.
Why didn’t the animal rights groups support Al Gore?
选项 A、Because Al Gore was the leader of environmental protectors.
B、Because Al Gore didn’t tell the main cause of global warming.
C、Because Al Gore just played a role in a movie.
D、Because Al Gore didn’t focus on the importance of cars.
答案B
解析 推理判断题。由题干中the animal rights groups support Al Gore定位到第二段第一句可知，动物权益组织不认同戈尔，是因为他们认为饲养食用牲畜比所有车辆加起来对环境的危害还要大，而戈尔在电影中并未提到这一点。由此可以推出[B]“因为他没有说出导致全球变暖的主要原因”符合文章意思。[A]“因为他是环境保护论者的领袖”，文中并未涉及戈尔的身份问题，故排除；[C]“因为他仅仅在电影中扮演了一个角色”，这并不是动物权益组织不支持他的原因，故排除；[D]“因为他忽视了所有运动型车的重要性"，这也不是主要原因，故排除。
