#考研英语[超话]# 【每日一句】
Some studies show that choosing vegetarian options would only reduce greenhouse gas emissions per person by 3%. Others show a reduction in emissions per person of 20-30%. “Probably the most important thing to point out is that emissions are often viewed as the only metric of sustainability: they are not. Impacts of farming systems on carbon sequestration, water quality, and broader ecosystem services also need to be well considered,” said Matthew Harrison.
思考题解析
（一）
思考题：
Which of the following is true according to the text?
A.Some believe going vegan do not reduce emissions.
B.Sustainability can be measured only by emissions.
C.Matthew Harrison is fighting against vegan diet.

思考题解析：
A.Some believe going vegan do not reduce emissions.
（一些人相信素食不会减少排放量）
只是有些人认为减少的不多而已，而不是不会减少。
A选项错误。
B. Sustainability can be measured only by emissions.
（可持续性只能由排放量来衡量）
第三句指出不是这样的。
B选项错误。
C. Matthew Harrison is fighting against vegan diet.
（马修·哈里森正在对抗素食）
没有说，所以错！
C选项错误。
D. The literature on the impact of going vegan varies.

第一句说：

第二句说：
另一些研究则显示，人均排放量会减少20-30%。
所以，关于素食的影响的文献差别很大，D选项正确。

“也许最重要的是要指出，排放量通常被视为衡量可持续性的唯一指标：但它们不是。农业系统对碳封存、水质和更广泛的生态系统服务的影响也需要被充分考虑，”马修·哈里森说。

和遭受其它动物攻击不一样，人一旦遭遇河马攻击，是毫无还手之力的，河马的犬牙会像打孔机一样地碾压过来。还好，河马不是肉食动物，运气好的话，打孔机打错位了再把人吐出来，人可能会侥幸逃生。
Unlike attacks by some other wild animals, humans are almost defenseless once an attack by a large hippo begins.
“Once attacked, there is nothing you can do,” Muruthi said. “Fight for dear life and watch for any chance to escape.” He said you could try to poke at the eyes or any spot that might inflict unexpected pain. But given the size just of a hippo head, even that’s a tall order.
“Hippos typically hole punch you, so there isn’t much you can do if they get hold of you,” Lewison said.

如果在岸上遭遇河马攻击，记住，你跑是跑不过河马的，河马看起来动作迟缓，实际上跑起来速度可以高达时速43公里，所以，最好选择爬树或者寻找障碍物如大岩石迂回躲避。如果你处于河马与河流之间，千万不要朝河的方向跑，应该顺着河岸跑，不要滞留在母河马和河马幼崽之间的位置。
河马无意主动挑事，河马攻击人，都是因为河马以为自己的领地被人侵犯，自己和幼崽遭遇危险。
If you’ve attracted unwanted attention, Muruthi said to always remember you cannot outrun a hippo. They may look sluggish, but they can run 30 mph (almost 43 kph). Instead, you should try to climb a tree or find an obstacle to put between you and the hippo such as a rock or anthill.
Muruthi, Lewison and Templer all said never stay between a hippo and the water. If it’s charging you, run parallel to the water source. As with so many other protective female animals, never get between a mama hippo and her young, Templer said.
