So, with that in mind, it's easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!
文章大意:本文是一篇资讯报道。在英国,一些獾身上携带TB病菌,这种病菌会传播给牲畜,从而给农民带来巨大的损失。政府不顾多数人的反对,决定采取行动来杀掉獾,因为对他们来说,这样做的代价相对来说较低。
1.Why does the government want to kill the badgers?
A.Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.
B.Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.
C.Because they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.
D.Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中第四句“The problem is that some badgers carry ‘Bovine Tuberculosis’ (BTB)...”及倒数第二段最后一句“... shooting freerunning badgers only costs about £200 per year (per square kilometer).”可知,杀死獾可能是以最低价来对抗TB传播的有效办法。故答案选D。
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.
B.In the following four decades, £9 billion will be spent on TB.
