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 Labor 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. |
1. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes . |
A. for recreation(娱乐) B. in the interests of the farmers C. to limit the fox population D. to show off their wealth |
2. What is special about fox hunting in Britain? |
A. It involves the use of a deadly poison. B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs. C. The hunters have set rules to follow. D. The hunters have to go through strict training. |
3. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________. |
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 |
4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. |
A. killing foxes with poison is illegal B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent D. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich |
"A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand," said one teacher. "I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs," said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents. Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation,it is a long way to achieve this goal. But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter. Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and unable to use the lavatory properly. We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching. Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children's behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and willing to learn. |
1. In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore? |
A. The school violence. B. The pressure of students' learning C. The right to achieve students potential. D. the responsibilities of the students. |
2. The writer's attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________. |
A. dissatisfied B. unconcern C. understanding D. tolerance |
3. The underlined part in Para 4 may means__________. |
A. parents and children live in their separate rooms B. parents care little about children's life at home C. children don't live with their parents in the same room D. at home children live a different life from that of parents |
4. From the last paragraph, we can infer that______. |
A. schools can't correct the wrongs that society does to teachers B. teachers have no responsibility for playing the role of parents C. parents should spend time with children making them ready to learn D. students are responsible for making themselves known in society |
After too long on the Net,even a phone call can be a shock. My boyfriend's Liverpudlian accent suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary's tone seems more rejecting than I'd imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid- hours becomes minutes, and alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary days. For the last three years,since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a telecommuter. I submit articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England, so much of our relationship is computer-mediated. If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my money,love and work. In fact,at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard of 96 on TV. But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I've merged (融合) with my machines,taking data in spitting them back out, just another node (波节)on the Net. Others on line report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It's like attending an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents' worst nightmare. What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes and face,has become an avoidance,a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult. At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I'd never done previously. The voices of the programs soothe (安慰) me, but then I'm jarred (使感不快) by the commercials. I find myself sucked in by soap operas, or compulsively (强制性能地) needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather. "Dateline," "Frontline," "Nightline," CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background. |
1. Compared to the clear words of her boyfriend on screen, his accent becomes____ |
A. unreal B. unbearable C. misleading D. not understandable |
2. What does the last paragraph mean ? |
A. Having worked on the computer for too long, she became a bit strange. B. She is so interested in TV programs that she often forgets her work. C. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather. D. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some comfort from TV program. |
3. What is the author's attitude to the computer? |
A. She has become bored with it. B. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive. C. She dislikes it because it cuts off her relation with the outside world. D. She likes it because it is very convenient. |
4. The underlined phrase "coming back out of the cave" probably means_______. |
A. going back to the dreaming world B. coming back home from the outside world C. restoring direct human contact D. getting away from living a strange life |
