问题 Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes [br]  
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.
   But some people who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of rod 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 has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs. 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.
   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.

选项 A、prohibit farmers from hunting foxes.
B、forbid hunting wild animals with dogs.
C、stop hunting fox in the countryside.
D、prevent large-scale fox hunting.

答案 B

解析 情景事实题。短文的最后说到“If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.”可知工党议员Mike Foster已经向议会提交议案,希望立法阻止带猎狗捕捉野生动物。选项B为正确答案。
