Al Gore has been concerned with climate change, or “climate crisis” as he calls it, for the majority of his political career.As the years passed and he became more passionate about this issue, he started travelling the world in order to educate people about the effects of global warming using computer slide shows.Free of charge, he explained to his audiences that the world is facing a “planetary emergency” and that it isn't too late to stop it if appropriate action is taken now.
It was during this time of touring and giving lectures that Gore was spotted by Hollywood producer Laurie David, who asked him to turn his slide shows into a documentary in which he would play the starring role.At first, Gore was reluctant,_as he has always been a very private person, despite being used to being in the public eye.Eventually, though, David managed to persuade him.The result was a fascinating documentary combining references to Gore's own life story with horrifying predictions about the future of our planet.
Little did Gore know that just one year later he would be walking along the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and later collecting an Oscar for “Best Documentary”．Advertised as “the scariest movie you'll see”，the movie concentrates on the potentially terrifying consequences of climate change.
An Inconvenient Truth certainly gives us much to consider.As the title of the film suggests, it may be inconvenient for us to have to think about the future of the planet, but think we must.
The profits from the film are now funding other campaigns to spread the message about global warming.Gore is delighted that some schools are even using the DVD to help them teach awareness of environmental issues to their students.
So can this one man's efforts really make a difference? Well, according to Gore, if we are clear about what the problem is, then we are more likely to introduce changes into our daily lives.It may not seem as if the decisions of individuals can achieve very much, but put them all together and they may add up to something that will, literally, change the world.

根据文章最后一句可知，作者认为，每个人的一小步加起来将是人类的一大步，所以个人的贡献很重要，故选A。

tips 利用正向思维解推理判断题
所谓正向思维，就是人们在创造性思维活动中，沿袭某些常规去分析问题，按事物发展的进程进行思考、推测，是一种从已知到未知的揭示事物本质的思维方法。

做题时，我们可以根据文章的关键信息(事实)，沿着作者原来的思路从正面去分析问题，从而得出新的结论。

例如C篇阅读中的第11题，抓住本文关键信息“It may not seem as if the decisions of individuals can achieve very much, but put them all together and they may add up to something that will, literally, change the world.”，利用正向思维去分析、判断，我们可以得出结论：每个人的一小步加起来将是人类的一大步。

所以个人的贡献很重
要。
