问题共用题干Eating Meat-Less or More? Every second in the United States alone,more than 250 animals are slaughtered for food,adding up to more than 8 billion animals each year.Reducing the amount of meat in one's diet is nutritionally, environmentally,and ethically beneficial, People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians.Meat has been directly linked to diabetes,obesity,arthritis,and many other illnesses.Furthermore,meat-eaters are at a higher risk for diseases,including cancer,and they are more likely to die from these diseases.Critics say that a meatless diet does not provide enough nutrients,especially protein and iron.Actually,according to A Teen’s Guide to Going Vegetarian,by Judy Krizmanic,proteil1 is found in almost every food,and iron appears in many vegetables.Getting enough nutrients in a meat-reduced diet should not be difficult.A 1988 study found that some of the highest pesticide residues appear in meat and eggs.Diets including more fruits and vegetables will only make people healthier. Some skeptics believe that there will be a shortage of food if animals are not eaten.In fact,the opposite is true.More than 80% of the corn and 95% of the oats grown in the U.S.are fed to livestock.The world's cattle alone consume enough food to equal the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people,more than the entire human population.One half of the water used in the Unites States also goes to livestock;250 gallons of water produces only 1 lb.（磅）of beef.If people eat less meat and more plants,the amount of available food will increase。 Many people become vegetarians because they feel that eating animals is unethical.90% of these animals are raised in confinement.Chickens and other birds have only about half a square foot of space each,and since they are raised so close together,a lot of blade is used to cut off their beaks to prevent them from pecking each other to death.Likewise,pigs that are repressed will bite each other's tails,so both their teeth and tails are removed as soon as they are born. Eating animals is hazardous in numerous ways.Even a slight reduction in meat intake is better than nothing at all.Consuming less meat is beneficial to the health of animals,the health of people,and to the health of the world.

选项 Why does the author say reducing the amount of meat in one's diet is environmentally beneficial? A:People who eat meat usually have weaker immune systems compared to those of vegetarians. B:A lot of food and water are consumed in order to raise livestock. C:90% of animals are raised in confinement. D:Raising Animals causes most of the destruction of the nature.

答案 B

解析由文赣四段第一句话“Many people become vegetthians because they feel that eating animals is unethical.”可知，很多人成为素食主义者是因为似门认为摄食动物是不道德的。故选A。由文章第二段第五句话“… according to A Teen 's Guide to Going Vegetarian , by Judy Krizmanic , protein is found in almost every food , and iron appears in many vegetable.”可知，在这本书上，作者认为几乎每一种食物中都含有蛋白质。故选C。由文章第三段可知，在美国大量的粮食和水用于饲养肉食动物，而这些动物所摄入的粮食本身就足以满足全人类的热量需求。这暗示了饲养肉食动物对资源的浪费。由此可以推断出，作者认为少吃肉对环境有利。故选B。由文章第一段最后一句话“Reducing the amount of meat in one 's diet is nutritionally,environmentally, and ethically beneficial.”可知，减少肉类的摄人在营养、环境和道德方面都是有好处的。并且文章第二、三、四段围绕此观点展开讲解，因此可推测出作者对吃肉持否定态度。故选B。文章第一段和最后一段互相呼应，讲述了少吃肉的各种好处。中间段落也分别从营养、环境和伦理方面讲述多吃肉的坏处。因此可看出文章主题就是少吃肉的好处。故选A。
