Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes
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.
But some people who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of rod 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 has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs. 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.
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.
选项
A、by resorting to violence.
B、by taking legal action.
C、by confusing the fox hunters.
D、by demonstrating on the scene.
答案
C
解析
语义理解题。短文的后面提到“... but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.”可知多数时候反对者是通过误导猎人或者混淆狐狸的气味来干扰猎狗的追踪。选项C为正确答案。

建构主义教学模式的共同点在于反对传统教学中的机械客观主义。主张知识是在主体与环境、他人的交互作用中构建的,同时,知识不是绝对的和中立的,而是相对的和蕴含了主体的价值观的。因此,建构主义教学理论在本质上是对人的主观价值给予了充分肯定的理论。
