A
(2016·河南郑州一次质检)Foxes and farmers have never got on well.These small doglike 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 running after 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 it as a sport.They wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers，and follow strict rules of behavior.But owning a horse and hunting regularly are expensive，so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in foxhunting.But over the last couple of decades the number of people who are against foxhunting，because they think it is brutal (残暴的)，has risen sharply.Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt opponents (阻止者)．Sometimes these incidents lead to violence，but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell，which the dogs follow.
Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself.But this year supporters of foxhunting face a much bigger threat to their sport.A Labour Party member of Parliament(英国议会)，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.

A struggling little deer was spotted where she had broken through the ice of the halffrozen lake，and had been reported to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR)．But the MNR is not in the business of rescuing.Chris Winger and his pals，Gary and Lea Allinson made up their minds to respond.
The trio formed a rescue team and when they got close enough，they saw that the deer lay with her forelegs and chest on the ice and her hindquarters in the freezing water.The three men figured she was a goner，dead already.Then they saw her big，liquidbrown eyes watching them and heard her scream pitifully，just once，very slightly.Her frozen forelegs felt like icicles(冰柱)．“Horses have legs like a deer’s.Maybe Nancy Tapley could help us.” Lea reasoned and called the horse trainer.Soon the little deer was rescued and transferred to a warm place.
“Massage her ears to keep her out of shock，” Tapley suggested.“Bottlefeed her with warm milk and sugar，maybe with a bit of brandy.” Surrounded by her rescuers，the little deer drank and then fell asleep with her head in Gary’s lap.The deer didn’t have any feeling in her front legs.Every 20 minutes she had to be checked and repositioned.Neighbors，especially the local children，were now involved in looking after the patient.
A week later，the deer’s front legs trembled.The nerves were coming back.After another three weeks，the deer was hopping along. Everyone was on hand to see her leave one sunny day.She took a few tentative steps，then hesitated and looked back，as if to say thank you.
Another season went by，and again the “little” deer appeared at Bondi Village，bringing her own baby deer，making herself at home in the gardens and flicking (轻快的甩动) her white tail in a friendly gesture toward the people who had worked so hard to make her rise from the dead.

B．To seek some food for her baby deer.
C．To make the village her home.
D．To express her thanks to the people.
