D.Aneducationalreview.【答案】8.B9.A10.D11.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项有关素食的科学预测结果并讨论了畜牧业对环境的影响，以及解决方案。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据划线部分前文“IntheUS,forexample,anaveragefamilyoffouremitsmoregreenhousegasesbecauseofthemealtheyeatthanfromdrivingtwocars”（例如，在美国，一个四口之家平均每餐所排放的温室气体比开两辆车排放的还要多，）可知，饭餐所排放的温室气体比汽车还要严重，从而推断出划线部分“butitiscars,notsteaks,thatregularlycomeupindiscussionsaboutglobalwarming.”（但在有关全球变暖的讨论中经常出现的是汽车，而不是牛排。）是指我们的饮食选择对气候变化的影响常常被低估。故选B项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“First,itisnecessarytokeeplivestockforenvironmentalpurposes.”（首先，为了保护环境，有必要饲养牲畜。）可知，饲养牲畜是为了保护环境，再根据PeterAlexander所说“Ifwetookallthesheepaway,theenvironmentwouldlookdifferentandtherewouldbeapotentialnegativeimpactonbiodiversity.”（如果我们把所有的羊都拿走，环境看起来就会不同，对生物多样性也会有潜在的负面影响。）可知，PeterAlexander提到羊，是为了说明牲畜对环境的重要影响。故选A项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Food,especiallylivestock,alsotakesupalotofroom.68%ofagriculturallandintheworldisusedforlivestock.”（食物，尤其是牲畜，也占据了很大的空间。世界上68%的农业用地被用于饲养牲畜。）可知，牲畜饲养占用很大空间，造成对环境的不利方面，再根据第四段中“First,itisnecessarytokeeplivestockforenvironmentalpurposes.”（首先，为了保护环境，有必要饲养牲畜。）可知，饲养牲畜又有利于保护环境，从而推知，作者对于牲畜的态度是：事物都有两面性，一切都是一把双刃剑。故选D项。【11题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“MarcoSpringmannandhiscolleagues,attheOxfordMartinSchool'sFutureofFoodProgramme,builtcomputermodelsthatpredictedwhatwouldhappenifeveryonebecamevegetarianby2050.”（在牛津大学马丁学院食品未来项目工作的MarcoSpringmann和他的同事们建立了计算机模型，预测如果到2050年所有人都成为素食主义者，将会发生什么。结果表明，如果全世界都成为素食主义者，温室气体排放将减少70%左右。）可知，文章介绍了大学科学工作者利用科学的计算机模型对未来假设的预测结果，从而推测出，该文来自于科学杂志。故选C项。DIt'scommonknowledgethatthewomaninLeonardodaVinci'smostfamouspaintingseemstolookbackatobservers,followingthemwithhereyesnomatterwheretheystandintheroom.Butthiscommonknowledgeturnsoutwrong.Anewstudyfindsthatthewomaninthepaintingisactuallylookingoutatananglethat's15.4degreesofftotheobserver'sright—welloutsideoftherangethatpeoplenormallybelievewhentheythinksomeoneislookingrightatthem.Inotherwords,saidthestudyauthor,Horstmann,''She'snotlookingatyou.''Thisissomewhatironic,becausetheentirephenomenonofaperson'sgaze(凝视)inaphotographorpaintingseemingtofollowthevieweriscalledthe''MonaLisaeffect''.Thateffectisabsolutelyreal,Horstmannsaid.Ifapersonisillustratedorphotographedlookingstraightahead,evenpeopleviewingtheportraitfromananglewillfeeltheyarebeinglookedat.Aslongastheangleoftheperson’sgazeisnomorethanabout5degreesofftoeitherside,theMonaLisaeffectoccurs.Horstmannandhisco-authorwerestudyingthiseffectforitsapplicationinthecreationofartificial-intelligenceavatars(虚拟头像)whenHorstmanntookalonglookatthe''MonaLisa''andrealizedshewasn'tlookingathim.Tomakesureitwasn'tjusthim,theresearchersasked24peopletoviewimagesofthe''MonaLisa''onacomputerscreen.Sowhydopeoplerepeatthebeliefthathereyesseemtofollowtheviewer?Horstmannisn'tsure.It'spossible,hesaid,thatpeoplehavethedesiretobelookedat,sotheythinkthewomanislookingstraightatthem.Ormaybethepeoplewhofirstcoinedtheterm''MonaLisaeffect''justthoughtitwasacoolname.12.Whatisgenerallybelievedaboutthewomaninthepainting''MonaLisa''?A.Sheattractstheviewerstolookback.B.Sheseemsmysteriousbecauseofhereyes.C.Shefixeshereyesonthebackoftheviewers.D.Shelooksattheviewerswherevertheystand.13.WhatgazerangeinapaintingwillcausetheMonaLisaeffect?A.
