【4】B

【解析】

本文介绍了倡导素食主义的几个人物及他们的观点，做法。

【1】本题主要考查形容词的用法。观察句子可以看出，promoter是名词，意思是“倡导者”，“促进者”，因此所填单词应该是形容词来做它的定语。结合所给的单词可以看出选择active，意思是“积极的”，所以本句话的意思是“英国的歌手兼词作者Paul McCartney一直是素食主义的积极倡导者”。故答案为D。

【2】本题主要考查动词的用法。根据横线前边的make the public，再考虑后边的how bad the conditions are for factory-farmed chickens，可确定此处需要动词且是原形。分析句意可知应该用realize“意识到”。这句话的意思是“他想使公众意识到工厂饲养鸡的情况有多糟糕”。故答案为E。

【3】本题主要考查动词的用法。观察句子可以看出所填单词在宾语从句当中充当谓语，而且主语是overfishing，所以这个谓语动词应该是第三人称单数形式，因此选择affects，意思是“影响”。这句话说的是“它表明过度捕捞影响海洋生物的平衡”。故答案为A。

【4】本题主要考查名词的用法。根据横线前边的draw 和横线后边的to，可以看出这是短语draw attention to，意思是“吸引……注意力”，因此这句话的意思是“希望这些运动能够引起人们对道德饮食和拯救自然的关注”。故答案为B。

在理解短文和句义的基础上，先确定词性，然后充分挖掘句中的线索，找出有用的提示或暗示，即可做出正确选择。
