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 may happen in the future?
选项 A、All the environmental protectors will begin to stop eating meat.
B、Al Gore will stop eating meat because of the natural risk.
C、People will go to work on foot instead of by car.
D、More people prefer using a fluorescent light bulb to eating tofu.
答案D
解析 推理判断题。根据题干定位到最后一段可知，有人认为像戈尔这样高调的人或者是一些财力雄厚的环境保护组织的成员是不太可能吃素的。而推行素食在社会上会比较困难，可以推断出[D]“越来越多的人都愿意使用节能灯，而不是靠吃素来保护环境"是正确答案。[A]“所有的环境保护主义者都会停止吃肉"，文章指出环境保护主义者只关注机械装置，并不在意畜牧业的变化，故排除；[B]“因为知道吃肉危害环境，阿尔·戈尔不再吃肉了”，文中说到戈尔尽管知道吃肉危害环境，但并不打算改变自己的食谱，故排除；[C]“人们会走着去上班，而不再开车”，文中只是提到开车影响环境，并没有要求人人都步行上班，故排除。
