倒數(shù)第21天(5月16日)In their book Time to Eat the Dog：The Real Guide to Sustainable Living，Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10 000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.“We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog.We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land，while growing and manufacturing a dog's food takes about 0.84 hectaresor 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.Convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter，the Vales say.Instead they recommend keeping “greener”，smaller，and more sustainable pets，such as goldfish，chickens or rabbits.The book's playful title，and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”，by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die，may not appeal to animal fans.Annoying as the idea may be，the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resources，Robert Vale said.“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog.It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，”he said.“It's about much more challenging and difficult issues，”he added.“Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things，you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”【語篇解讀】 本文講述了養(yǎng)寵物會給生態(tài)帶來很大的影響及對此應(yīng)采取的措施。1The authors gave their book the playful title to _.Amake it amusingBcreate a vivid imageCshow writing skillsDarouse people's concern解析考查目的意圖。根據(jù)第二段“We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog.We're just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”可知，這本書戲虐性的標(biāo)題目的是為了引起人們對生態(tài)的關(guān)注。答案D2In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us _.Athe amount of consumed landBthe neglected ecological impactCsome familiar examplesDsome actual figures解析考查推理判斷。作者在第三段用了一系列數(shù)據(jù)的目的是證明第二段的we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do，由此可判斷人們在養(yǎng)寵物時忽略了對生態(tài)的影響。故選B。答案B3Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals?AManufacturers.
