问题 What is the main idea of the news item?
The European Union is considering taking measures against Canada over its annual seal hunt Spokeswoman Barbara Helfferich said the EU’s Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas  "is looking into the matter of the inhumane killing of seals". One option for the EU would be a ban on seal imports, although there was no sign that this was under immediate consideration. Belgium. and the Netherlands have already taken this step, and the United States has banned Canadian seal products since 1972. [10]The EU barred the import of white pelts taken from baby seals in 1983, but a wider ban would have serious con sequences for hunters and their communities which rely heavily on the seal hunt. This year there are new rules in place-such as making sure the animals are dead before they are skinned, as recommended by the EU in December-which are designed to appease concerns in Europe. The authorities have set a limit for the catch of 275,000 seals, a rise from 270,000 last year.

选项 A、Seals have been ruthlessly hunted in Canada.
B、EU considers measures against Canada on seal hunt.
C、Canada encourages hunters to take pelts from seals.
D、EU has already banned Canadian seal products.

答案 B

解析 录音开头就概括了新闻报道的主要内容,如果没听清此句,也可从后文的具体分析中知道。新闻先是提到,欧盟将调查加拿大残忍猎杀海豹的情况,接着提到,它面临的选择之一就是禁止从加拿大进口海豹产品,进而又提到,欧盟以往在这方面采取的措施以及碰到的困难,因此B为正确答案。
