1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in edinburgh.the idea was to reunite europe after the second world war.it quickly attracted famous names such as alec guinness，richard burton，dame margot fonteyn and marlene dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团)it became a fixed event every august and now attracts 400，000 people yearly.at the same time，the“fringe”appeared as a challenge to the official festival.eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.soon，groups of students firstly from edinburgh university，and later from the universities of oxford and cambridge，durham and birmingham were making the journey to the scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of edinburgh.today the“fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.and yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.a paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during august itself.in 2004 there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.more than 1.25 million tickets were sold.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了爱丁堡边缘(fringe)艺术节的成立以及发展壮大的情况。1what was the purpose of edinburgh festival at the beginning?ato bring europe together again.bto honor heroes of world war.cto introduce young theatre

uk. the wolves have gone. the bears have been hunted to extinction. fortunately, there are a few badgers (獾)oh, well, actually, not for long as the british government has just decided to kill them too! but why?badgers are fascinating creatures. the black and white mammals live underground in “setts”， which they dig out of the earth. they are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. the problem is that some badgers carry “bovine tuberculosis”(btb), an infectious disease caused by the bacterium mycobacterium bovis (m. bovis) which can cause tb in some other animals, including cattle.for farmers, this is a serious issue. in 1998 in the uk, almost 6 000 cows were killed to control the disease. and in 2010, more than 30 000 animals were destroyed. its expensive too. bovine tb costs the uk about 100 million per year. and some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy 9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. so, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull (杀戮). this will mean about 30 000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. environment secretary caroline spelman admitted that there was “great strength of feeling” about it, but said, “i believe this is the right way forward.”of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights activists. they claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldnt work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.most ordinary people are against the measure too. a survey suggests about twothirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. one of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine (疫苗) on badgers. however, this costs an average of 2 250 per year per square kilometer. trapping and shooting badgers costs 2 500 per year, but shooting freerunning badgers only costs about 200 per year (per square kilometer)so, with that in mind, its easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. money talks!文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。在英国，一些獾身上携带tb病菌，这种病菌会传播给牲畜，从而给农民带来巨大的损失。政府不顾多数人的反对，决定采取行动来杀掉獾，因为对他们来说，这样做的代价相对来说较低。16why does the government want to kill the badgers?abecause there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.bbecause badgers carry tb, a disease which can infect other animals.cbecause they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.dbecause it might be an effective way to fight tb at the least expense.答案：d细节理解题。根据文章第二段中第四句“the problem is that some badgers carry bovine tuberculosis (btb).”及倒数第二段最后一句“. shooting freerunning badgers only costs about 200 per year (per square kilometer)”可知，杀死獾可能是以最低价来对抗tb传播的有效办法。故答案选d。17which of the following statements is true?asome people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.bin the following four decades, 9 billion will be spent on tb.cbased on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.dcaroline spelman thought badgers should be culled despite
