M: Good morning and welcome to People in the News! With me today is Megan Brown, an environmental activist whose controversial new book Beyond Recycling is making headlines.
W: Hi, Bryan! Thanks for having me today. I’m excited to explain to the audience what my book is really about.
M: Critics of your book assert that you’re trying to force radical changes on the entire country. Some claim that you want to force everyone to eat a vegetarian diet and make private transport illegal.
W: I’m aware of those claims, but they simply aren’t true. People who haven’t read the book are making assumptions about my arguments. They know I am a vegetarian, that I don’t wear leather or fur, and that I always use public transportation. So, they are depicting me as a radical animal rights activist and an environmentalist determined to force my beliefs on others.
M: But don’t you want others to adopt your practices? You’ve campaigned for animal rights and environment for decades.
W: I’d love it if people chose to live as I do. But my life choices are based on my personal convictions. They aren’t my recommendations for others who don’t share those convictions.
M: Well, in this excerpt from your book, you argue that meat consumption and private transport are devastating the environment, and that the best choices for the planet are vegetarian diets and public transport.
W: I did write that. But those are examples what I call best practices, not what I’m actually suggesting. In my guidelines for saving the environment, I suggest modest changes, like eating vegetarian meals two days a week.
M: You also endorse high taxes on meat and other animal products, and increase taxes on gasoline. Those taxes could force poor people to adopt your life choices.
W: But the taxes I suggest aren’t that high, less than 3 percent only, plus the money generated would be allocated to environmental protection which benefits everyone.
1.What do we learn about the woman’s new book?
2.What do some critics say about the author of the book?
3.What does the woman claim about the diet changes she suggested?
4.What does the woman say about her suggested tax increase?
选项
A、It would force poor people to change their diet.
B、It would need support from the general public.
C、It would generate money for public health.
D、It would help to protect the environment.
答案
D
解析
对话最后,女士说:“但是我建议的税率并不高,只有不到3%,而且征收的税款会被分配用于环境保护,这对每个人都有好处。”由此可知,女士建议提高税率并将税收用于环境保护,故D项正确。对话中男士对女士说:“这些税收可能会迫使穷人采用你的生活选择。”这是男士说的,而不是女士,排除A项;B项在对话中未提及,故排除;根据对话的最后可知,增税会为环境保护产生资金,而不是公共卫生,故排除C项。
