Question

【題目】The city of Rome has passed a new law to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.

This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert （拋棄）cats or dogs.

“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Carina, the councilor behind the new law.

The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.

“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals that deserve over respect and pity every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, director of the People for the Ethical treatment of Animals.

Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.

The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.

The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tail to make them look lovelier. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.

試題分析:這篇文章講述了各地相繼出臺一些政策法律來保護動物的權益，阻止人們殘忍的對待動物。

【1】A推理判斷題。根據第五段“The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.”可以推斷出禁止金魚碗后,金魚的生活條件將更好，故選A。

【2】D事實細節(jié)題。根據第三段“The civilization of a city can be measured by this”,這里的this指的是第一段這些保護動物的措施,所以羅馬居民認為城市文明體現在保護動物的意識上，故選D。

【3】B事實細節(jié)題。根據倒數第二段“The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to $598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.”可知在Turin法律規(guī)定如果每天遛狗不到3次將會被罰款。所以在Turin把狗整天關在家里是違法的，故選B。
