These small doglike animals have
8、 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 hunts to control the fox population. Hunting consists of running after a fox across the
9、countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch a 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 stric
10、t codes of behaviour. 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
11、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(反对者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which the do
12、gs follow.Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of 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 try
13、ing 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.21Wealthy people in Britain have been hunting foxes to _Abenefit the farmers Bget entertainmentCshow off

16、auses conflicts between hunters and farmers.BThe poaching, or illegal killing, of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year. The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2014, a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before.The Wor
17、ld Wild Fund for Nature(WWF) says about 20，000 rhinos live in South Africa. That is more than 80 per cent of the rhinos in the world. Edna Molewa, South Africas environmental issues minister, says, “During 2014, we are sad to say this, 1，215 rhinos were killed. This is a rise in the number of poache
18、d rhinos from 1，004 in 2013. This is indeed very worrying.”The animals are hunted for their horns(角). Many people in Asia believe the horn has healing power, which drives poachers, at all costs, mad for more horns. But there is no scientific evidence for this belief. The horn is made of keratin(角质).
19、 That is the same substance as human hair, fingernails and toenails.Ms Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year, an increase from the year before. But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest. South Africas legal system is ineffective. Ms Molewa said m
20、ore needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos. The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighbouring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighbouring states in the SADC region during 2014 and 200 more rhinos will b
21、e moved this year，” Molewa said.Jo Shaw, rhino programme manager at the WWF, said, “Were talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month, or more than three a day. We really need to see effective action not just on a national level but internationally.” She said officials should find the criminal g
22、roups responsible for the poaching and punish them.Conservationists(自然环境保护主义者) and government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Intergovernmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade. They will talk about ways to stop the trade in rhino horns. That may be the only way to stop the kil
