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)
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项 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
答案B
解析 本题属于推理判断题。B“没有必要限制狐狸数量”，文章最后一句指出：法律通过后，狐狸将受到保护。可见控制狐狸数量是没有必要的，因此是正确答案。选项C“借助猎狗来猎狐的行为被认为是残忍和暴力的”，此选项可对应到第四段第二句，其中“brutal”=“cruel”，文中对猎狐的描写也反映出暴力、残忍的特点。因此这不用推理，可排除。A“用毒药杀狐狸是非法的”在文中未提，应排除。D“猎狐常常导致穷人和富人之间发生冲突”，文章说到猎狐者多为富有者，也提到了猎狐者和反对猎狐的人常常引发激烈冲突，但从中无法推断出冲突双方就是富人和穷人，所以不正确。
