B 　　题目问英国议会可能会通过一项新法律，这项法律…… 　　A，禁止农民猎狐。 　　B，禁止使用猎犬猎狐。 　　C，禁止在乡村猎杀野生动物。 　　D，防止大规模的猎狐运动。 21n北京理工大学现代远程教育专科起点本科入学考试　　文章提到英国议会可能通过与猎狐有关的法律是在最后一段的后半部分：MikeFoster,istryingtogetParliamenttoapproveanewlawwhichwillmakethehuntingofwildanimalswithdogsillegal.Ifthelawispassed,wildanimalslikefoxeswillbeprotectedunderthebaninBritain，从这里可以看出，出台这项法律的目的是要makethehuntingofwildanimalswithdogsillegal——使“驱狗猎杀野生动物”变为非法。这里有两个限定条件，一，猎杀对象是野生动物；二，猎杀方式是驱狗猎杀。四个选项中，A和D没有涉及这两条，可以排除。B涉及狩猎方式和对象，方式是驱狗狩猎，对象是狐狸。狩猎方式与文中的限定条件一致，狐狸属于野生动物，也符合对象条件，因此B是正确的。C则缺少了驱狗狩猎这一狩猎方式，是不对的。 　　5.C 　　题目问从文章中可以推断出什么。 　　A，毒杀狐狸是非法的。文中讲到毒杀只有一处，farmerstrytokeeptheirnumbersdownbyshootingorpoisoningthem。这是在讲述猎狐运动的缘起时提到的，文章没有介绍毒杀行为是否违法，也无从推断出这个结论。 　　B，限制狐狸数量是没有必要的。第二段讲到Farmerscanalsocallontheservicesoftheirlocalhunttocontrolthefoxpopulation，意思是农民们召集猎手来限制狐狸的数量，其原因是狐狸伤害家畜。从这个意义上说，限制狐狸数量有一定必要性。当然，这个推理也许有些牵强，但按照B的说法，推理出限制狐狸数量没有必要就是完全无中生有了。 　　C，驱狗猎杀狐狸被认为是残忍和暴力的。反对猎狐者认为猎狐是brutal（残忍的），驱狗猎狐属于猎狐的一种，当然也是残忍的，所以这个选项的说法正确。 　　D，猎狐经常会引发穷人与富人之间的冲突。文中倒数第二段提到了confrontation，冲突双方也交代得很清楚：betweenhuntersandhuntsaboteurs，猎手与反对猎杀者。根据文意，猎手一般属于富人；但反对猎杀者是否代表穷人呢？答案是不一定。所以D的说法不正确。EveryyearjustafterChristmastheJanuarySalesstart.Alltheshopsreducetheirpricesandfortwoweeks,theyarefullofpeoplelookingforbargains.MyhusbandandIdonotnormallygotothesalesaswedon’tlikecrowdsandinanycaseareshortofmoneyaswehavetobuylotsofChristmaspresents.Lastyear,however,ItookmyhusbandwithmetothesalesatthelargeshopinthecenterofLondon.Webothneededsomenewclothesandwerehopingtofindatelevisionset.Whenwegottostation,wesplitup.SoIleftmyhusbandandstartedlookingaroundtheshops.Unfortunatelyalltheclotheswereinverylargesizesandsowerenotsuitableforme.ButIdidbuyatelevisionataverycheapprice,soIfeltquitepleasedwithmyself.WhenIarrivedatthestation,myhusbandwasnotthere.SoIsatdowninanearbycafetohaveacupoftea.IquicklyfinishedmyteawhenIsawmyhusbandandwentouttomeethim.Helookedveryhappy.ThenIsawhewascarryingalargeandheavycardboardbox.“Oh,dear!”Ithought.Yes,wehadnonewclothesbuttwotelevisions.Weshallnotbegoingtothesalesagain.1.InJanuary        . A.lotsofpeoplegoshoppingfordiscount折扣B.peoplehavealotofmoneytospendafter21n北京理工大学现代远程教育专科起点本科入学考试ChristmasC.alltheshopscloseforatwo-weekChristmasholidayD.peopledon’thaveenoughmoneytogolookingforbargains答案:A2.Inthispassage,theword“bargain”couldbestbereplacedby“something    ”.A.giventopeopleB.offeredatareducedprice便宜货C.offered,soldorboughtwhichisexpensiveD.soldforthepurposeofreachinganagreement答案:B3.Thehusbandandwifeinthestory        .A.wishedtobuyaTVB.wenttothesalestheyearbeforeC.oftenwenttothesalestobuyclothesD.wereusuallynotshortofmoneyafterChristmas答案:A4.Thephrase“splitup”inthesecondparagraphmeans“     ”.A.breakapart                       B.causetobreakC.becomepieces                    D.goindifferentdirections走岔了答案:D5.Aftertheirday’sshopping,they      .A.werehappywiththeirbargainsB.hadgoteverythingtheywantedC.gotmorethantheyhadhopedfor得到比想要的更多D.hadtogobacktothesalesthenextday不对，又不一定第二天退货……答案:CTherewasonceanantthatwasverythirsty.Itranhereandtherelookingforsomewaterbutcouldnotfindany.Thensuddenly,whentheantwasalmostreadytodieofthirst,alargedropofwaterfellonit.Theantdrankthewater,whichsaveditslife.Thewaterwasactuallyatearfromayounggirlwhowascrying.Becauseofhersadness,thetearhadmagicalqualitiesandsuddenlytheantcouldspeakthelanguageofhumanbeings.Theantlookedupandsawtheyounggirlsittinginfrontofahugepileofseeds.“Whyareyousad?”askedtheant.“I’mtheprisonerofthegiant,”thegirltoldtheant.“Hewon’tletmegountilI’vemadethreeseparateheapsofgrain,barley(大麦)andrye（黑麦）outofthishugepileofseedsinwhichtheyareallmixedtogether.”“Thatwilltakeyouamonth!”theantsaid,lookingatthehugepileofseeds.“Iknow,”thegirlcried,“andifIhaven’tfinishedbytomorrow,thegiantwilleatmeforhissupper!”21n北京理工大学现代远程教育专科起点本科入学考试“Don’tcry,”theantsaid,“myfriendsandIwillhelpyou.”Soonthousandsofantswereatwork,separatingthethreekindsofseeds.Thenextmorning,whenthegiantsawthattheworkhadbeendone,heletthegirlgo.Thusitwasoneofhertearsthatsavedherlife.1.Whatisanant?A.Asmallanimal.小动物也没错……但是下面更准确B.Aninsect.蚂蚁当然是虫子C.Abird飞蚂蚁也不是鸟！D.Agiant他妈妈真会起名字啊！答案:B2.Whendidthedropofwaterfallontheant?A.Whenitwaslookingforfood.B.Whenitsavedtheant’slife.喝完才救呢C.Whenitwasnearlydying.在口渴的时候D.Whenitlookedup.答案:C3.Whywastheyounggirlcrying?A.Becauseofhersadness是很悲伤，但悲伤也是有原因的好么B.Becauseshesawtheant吓哭了还是丑哭了啊(￣口￣)!!C.Becausethegiantwouldlethergo都让你走了还哭，你是爱上巨人了吗？！D.Becausethegianthadgivenheranimpossiblejobtodo.巨人给了她一个不可能的工作答案:D4.Whatwouldthegiantdoifthegirlfailedtodothework?A.Hewouldeather把它吃掉把它吃掉B.Hewouldlethergo失败了还想走？C.Hewouldtakeheraway带哪去吖？！D.Hewouldsendhertoprison这不已经是prisoner了么答案:A5.Whoorwhatsavedthegirl’slife?A.Thegiant.B.Theant.说是蚂蚁救了她也没错吧……C.Theant’sfriendsD.Hertears.眼泪答案:DAforeigner’sfirstimpressionoftheU.S.islikelytobethateveryoneisinarush—oftenunderpressure.Citypeopleappearalwaystobehurryingtogetwheretheyaregoing，restlessly,seekingattentioninastore,andelbowingothersastheytrytocompletetheirtasks.Racingthroughdaytimemealsispartofthepaceoflifeinthiscountry.Workingtimeisconsideredprecious.Others
