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 did PETA do to promote vegetarianism according to Para. 3?
选项 A、It was happy to see environmental protectors become vegetarians.
B、It did everything possible to protect the earth with environmental protectors.
C、Its members felt bad and did nothing because their hopes were broken.
D、It illustrated the influence of eating meat on environment by itself.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。由题干定位到第三段可知，尽管环境保护论者没有像预期的那样跟自己统一战线，动物权益组织的成员仍然积极行动向人们宣传吃肉对于环境的影响。故[D]“PETA靠自己的力量向大众说明吃肉对环境的影响”符合原文的意思。[A]“PETA很高兴看到环境保护论者都变成了素食主义者”不符合文意，故排除；[B]“PETA与环境保护论者一道尽其所能地保护环境”，二者并没有合作的关系，故排除；[C]“PETA的成员因为希望破灭了非常失望，什么也没做”不符合原文意思，故排除。
