baby girls Isabella and Lola Koupparis were left with arm and face injuries after they were attacked by a fox while they were sleeping at their home.Last week, a fourweekold baby boy Denny Dolan was bitten by a fox which entered his home.After gaining access to the home through the front door, the fox pulled the baby down from the sofa and tried to drag him outside, biting him and almost severing(割断) his finger.Although fox attacks on humans are still very rare, they will become more common if we dont change our behavior towards these increasingly fearless animals.It is humans rather than foxes that are responsible for rising fox attacks on humans.On the one hand, people who love foxes treat these wild animals like pets, leaving food out for foxes, feeding them from their hands, and even inviting foxes into their home.The result is that the fox is more brazen(厚颜无耻的) and less inclined to avoid us.It is those people who feed foxes that cause foxes to lose their fear of humans.However, as long as they have a healthy fear of humans, they wont bother humans.On the other hand, foxes have moved into cities for lack of resources in rural areas.We take away their natural habitat to build more houses and factories.Foxes have no choice but to live and search for food in the city.If they live in the forest, no fox attack will happen.We have to learn to share the earth with animals and let foxes return to their natural habitat.We also have to learn to look upon foxes as wild animals.We have to remember that they are instinctive killers, efficient and silent with only one purposekill to eat.We must certainly not intervene them, even when they look starved.They are hungry for a reason.The hunger will force them to hunt for rabbits and other animals instead of waiting for food at your door.【解题导语】本文主要说明了狐狸伤人事件增多的现象并分析了其原因，最后得出结论：人类要为增多的狐狸伤人事件负责。28We can learn from the passage that _Ait is common for people to spot foxes in British citiesBit is very difficult for people to raise foxes as petsCit is common for foxes to attack children in Britains urban areasDit is very dangerous for foxes to live in Britains urban areasA解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Foxes have become a part of life in Britains urban areas.”可知，在英国城市里见到狐狸很普遍。29Why do more and more foxes flood into cities?ABecause urban people love the cute animal.BBecause foxes lack natural resources in the forest.CBecause no houses are built for them in the forest.DBecause their habitats are occupied by other animals.B解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“On the other hand，foxes have moved into cities for lack of resources in rural areas.”可知，狐狸涌入城市的原因是它们在郊区缺少生存的资源。30We can learn from the passage that the author _Ais very cruel to foxesBis a wild animal loverCis concerned about foxesDis against feeding foxesD解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The result is that the fox is more brazen(厚颜无耻的) and less inclined to avoid us.”以及最后一段可以看出作者是反对给狐狸喂食的。31What is the main idea of the passage?AIt is humans rather than foxes that are to blame for the rising fox attacks on humans.BPeople in cities must certainly not feed foxes，even when they look starved.CHuman beings have to learn to live in harmony with wild animals in cities.DFoxes in British cities are striking creatures but they are also dangerous animals.A解析：主旨大意题。本文主要说明了狐狸伤人事件增多的现象并分析了其原因，最后得出结论：人类要为增多的狐狸伤人事件负责。DModern humans have a hard time controlling their desire to eat.Often you eat not because you are hungry，but because you are affected by other things.How much you eat is strongly affected by how much those around you eat.People eating alone eat least.People eating with one other person eat 35 percent more than they do at home.People dining in a party of four eat 75 percent more.Eating with overweight friends? Youll eat more.Is your waitress overweight? Youll eat more.Wide varieties of food? Youll eat more.Plates can decide how sweet dessert tastes.If people ate it off a paper plate，theyd say，“This is good.”If they ate it off a fancy silver plate，they would say，“This is the greatest cake Ive eaten in my entire life.”Your knowledge about what makes food good or bad also affects how much you eat.You tend to eat more whe
