【3】A

【4】B

【解析】

本文介紹了倡導(dǎo)素食主義的幾個(gè)人物及他們的觀點(diǎn)，做法。

【1】本題主要考查形容詞的用法。觀察句子可以看出，promoter是名詞，意思是“倡導(dǎo)者”，“促進(jìn)者”，因此所填單詞應(yīng)該是形容詞來(lái)做它的定語(yǔ)。結(jié)合所給的單詞可以看出選擇active，意思是“積極的”，所以本句話的意思是“英國(guó)的歌手兼詞作者Paul McCartney一直是素食主義的積極倡導(dǎo)者”。故答案為D。

【2】本題主要考查動(dòng)詞的用法。根據(jù)橫線前邊的make the public，再考慮后邊的how bad the conditions are for factory-farmed chickens，可確定此處需要?jiǎng)釉~且是原形。分析句意可知應(yīng)該用realize“意識(shí)到”。這句話的意思是“他想使公眾意識(shí)到工廠飼養(yǎng)雞的情況有多糟糕”。故答案為E。

【3】本題主要考查動(dòng)詞的用法。觀察句子可以看出所填單詞在賓語(yǔ)從句當(dāng)中充當(dāng)謂語(yǔ)，而且主語(yǔ)是overfishing，所以這個(gè)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該是第三人稱單數(shù)形式，因此選擇affects，意思是“影響”。這句話說(shuō)的是“它表明過(guò)度捕撈影響海洋生物的平衡”。故答案為A。

【4】本題主要考查名詞的用法。根據(jù)橫線前邊的draw 和橫線后邊的to，可以看出這是短語(yǔ)draw attention to，意思是“吸引……注意力”，因此這句話的意思是“希望這些運(yùn)動(dòng)能夠引起人們對(duì)道德飲食和拯救自然的關(guān)注”。故答案為B。

在理解短文和句義的基礎(chǔ)上，先確定詞性，然后充分挖掘句中的線索，找出有用的提示或暗示，即可做出正確選擇。
