河南专升本公共英语真题（二）

Passage Two

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 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.
66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes _____.
   A. for recreation                    B. to limit the fox population
   C. in the interests of the farmers        D. to show off their wealth
67. 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.
68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game _____________.
   A. by resorting to violence     B. by confusing the fox hunters

C. by taking legal action       D. by demonstrating on the scene
69. 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
70. 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

In 1939 two brothers，Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years， first a theater， then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant.， then another drive-in. But in their new operation， they offered a new， shortened menu: French fries， hamburgers， and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service， no waiters or waitresses， and no tips.

Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性)， for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food， and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular， particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.
Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954， when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment， even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.
Today McDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers.
