Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain. (324 words)
A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to______.
选项
A、prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
B、forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C、stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
D、prevent large-scale fox hunting
答案
B
解析
本题属于细节题。题干中的“to”这个关键词表目的,考查英国议会通过这项新的法律的目的,通过关键词“a new law”定位到最后一段的最后两句,新法律将使“the hunting of wild animals with dogs”成为非法行为(illegal),而foxes属于wild animals,由此可推断选B为正确答案。A“禁止农夫猎狐”和D“禁止大规模猎狐”在文中未提,均排除。C“禁止在农村打猎”与文章内容不符,因为法律禁止的是带狗打猎,不是打猎本身。
