Question

    Earlier this month, the city of Shenzhen announced that it will ban (禁止) the sale and consumption (食用) of dog and cat meat, according to The paper. There have been some hints (提示) that this ban could be put into place across the country.

On April 8, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (农村农业部) introduced a draft document (文件草案) .It says dogs will no longer be treated as livestock (家畜) .Public opinions on the draft will be collected until May 8.

"Dogs have been 'specialized' to become companion (伴侣) animals, and internationally are not considered to be livestock, "the notice said. In fact, the consumption of dogs, cats and other pets is widely banned in western countries.

This change has been cheered by animal rights groups around the world. Although there is a widespread stereotype (刻板印象) of Chinese people enjoying dog meat, most Chinese do not eat it and say they never would, the BBC reported.

However, some business owners in China are against the draft. Many of them are from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region (自治区) , where thousands of people make a living from Selling dog meat.

One business owner told the Global Times that the draft should consider local living conditions. Once the dog meat industry is banned, many people will lose their jobs.

【解析】

文章大意：本文就深圳发布禁食和贩卖狗和猫肉的禁令而引起了国内外对这件事情的评论。且我们国家可能会将这一禁令落实到实处。

1.

词义猜测题。根据第一段句子“There have been some hints that this ban could be put into across the country.”(已经有一些提示，这条禁令可能会落实到全国），虽说put into place 有安置的意思，但是表达上禁令被落实更为合适。故答案为D。

2.

细节理解题。根据第三段“dogs have been “specialized”to become companion animals,and internationally are not considered to be a livestock ”（狗狗们已经“专门”变成了动物伙伴，国际上也不认为狗狗是牲畜。）由此我们得知狗狗是动物伙伴，并不是食用的牲畜，所以草案禁止食用狗。所以我们可以判断B为正确选项，而从这句话我们也可以否决C，狗狗是特别的牲畜。A选项并不能作为我们发布这条禁令的的依据。D选项文中没有提到。故答案为B。

3.

细节理解题。根据第四段英国广播公司说：“although there is a widespread stereotype of the Chinese people enjoying meat ,most Chinese do not eat it and say they never would ,the BBC reported.”（尽管有刻板印象中国人喜欢吃猫和狗肉，但是大部分中国人并不吃并且说以后也不会吃）由此可知人们错误地认为许多中国人吃狗肉，故答案为D。

4.

理解概括题。根据文中“However, some business owners in China are against the draft.” 然而，中国的一些企业主反对该草案。和“Once the dog meat industry is banned, many people will lose their jobs.” 一旦狗肉业被取缔，许多人将失业。可知，最后两段主要是关于反对草案的人。给答案为A。

5.

推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，此篇就深圳发布禁食和贩卖狗和猫肉的禁令而引起了国内外对这件事情的评论。由此推断我们可以在报纸中读到这段文章，故答案为B。
