问题     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)
What is special about fox hunting in Britain?
选项 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.
答案C
解析 本题属于细节推断题。C“猎狐者制定了一定的准则”与第三段话中的“follow strict codes of behavior”(遵循严格的行为准则)内容一致，且“codes”=“rules”。因此选C。A“会用到致命毒药”在文章第一段最后一句有提及，但未说明这是特别之处。B“猎狐是一种很昂贵的活动，它很少发生”与文章内容不符，因为第四段第一句说。观看或参加猎狐的人数高达10万，可见猎狐经常发生。D“猎人须经过严格训练”在文中未提。
