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、She neglects people’s efforts in animal protection.
B、She ignores the various benefits of public transport.
C、She tries to force people to accept her radical ideas.
D、She insists vegetarians are harming the environment.
答案
C
解析
对话中,男士提到:“批评你的书的人坚称,你试图迫使整个国家发生彻底的改变。有些人声称,你想强迫每个人都吃素,还要将私人交通工具定为非法事物。”而女士回答说:“他们知道我是一个素食主义者。不穿皮革或毛皮衣服,而且我总是乘坐公共交通工具。因此,他们将我描述成激进的动物权利活动家和环保主义者,决心将我的信仰强加于他人。”由此可知,吃素食和乘坐公共交通工具是女士个人的生活选择,而批评者们则认为女士想要强迫人们接受她激进的想法,故C项正确。A项在对话中未提及;B项和D项与女士的观点相反,而且不是批评者对女士的评论,故均排除。
