A herd of Kashmir goats have invaded a Welsh seaside town after the coronavirus lockdown (冠状病毒造成的封锁) left the streets deserted.
The animals, who normally roam free on a nearby headland standing out into the Irish Sea, have instead wandered into Llandudno where they have spent the past three days feasting on garden hedges and flowers.
Like other countries affected by the global coronavirus crisis, Britain has imposed strict social distancing measures including shop and school closures, and the authorities are asking everyone to stay at home except for essential travel.
With the streets of Llandudno unnaturally quiet, the goats have been free to wander the streets undisturbed.
Town councillor Carol Marubbi said the goats didn’t normally come into town unless the weather was awful, but on this occasion she said they probably realised something unusual was going on because there were so few people around. "I think they’re probably feeling a bit lonely and they have come down to have a look around," she told Reuters by telephone.
Kashmir goats have lived on the headland near Llandudno since the days of Queen Victoria, when the species became popular in Britain due to a fashion for shawls made from their soft cashmere wool.
Marubbi said the herd of about 150 goats, some of whom had kids in February, were a well-known local attraction and most residents did not mind having their hedges eaten by them."I’m a big fan," she said. "I love them because they are characters."
With millions of people stuck at home sharing light-hearted content online to alleviate the boredom of the lockdown, images and video of the goats wandering around the streets were a hit on social media.
"Just love this. Looks like they are definitely in charge," wrote Sue Foster, a former primary school head teacher.
Andrew Stuart, a video producer for the Manchester Evening News, has been posting videos of the furry adventurers online and they are attracting hundreds of thousands of viewers.
"There’s no one around at the moment, because of the lockdown, so they take their chances and go as far as they can. And they are going further and further into the town," Stuart told the Associated Press from his parents’ pub in Llandudno, where he is waiting out the pandemic (流行病) .
His videos show the goats munching on (用力咀嚼) people’s neatly trimmed hedges and trees in front yards and wandering casually empty streets as if they own the place.
"One of the videos shows that they were on a narrow side street and I was on the other side and they were scared of me. They were moving slowly and carefully away from me. So they are still scared of people," Stuart said.
How do most residents react to the wild goats?
选项
A、They think the goats have gone mad.
B、They care little about the wild animals.
C、They show love and tolerance to them.
D、They are very interested in their wool.
答案
B
解析
根据题干中的信息词most residents react,可以把答题线索定位到第七段。第七段提到,马鲁比说,这群数量大约为150只的山羊是当地一道著名的风景线,其中一些山羊在2月份产下了幼崽,大多数居民并不介意自己的树篱被它们吃掉。由此可知,大部分当地居民对野山羊持宽容的态度。下文引述了前小学校长苏.福斯特的话,言语之间充满了对野山羊的喜爱,故本题应选B。
