Giving up genuine fur has become less of a problem，since fibers used to makefake fur such as the Japanese invention Kanecaron can look almost identical to real fur.Some of the strongest opposition to the animal rights movement has come from hunters and their organizations.But animal rights activists have succeeded in marshaling public opinion to press for state restrictions on hunting in several parts of the nation.1.1 975 was an important year in the history of animal treatment becauseAmany people began to call for humane treatment of animals that yearBa new book was published that broadened the animal rights movementCthe environmentalists began to show interest in animal protectionDthe trapping of animals began to go wild all through the world2.Some animal rights organizations advocate the use of extreme means in order toAwipe out cruel people Bstop using animals in the laboratoryCattack hunters in the wild Dcatch full public attention3.By saying“the results ofthe protests and other tactics have been mixed”(Line 1，Para.3)，the author meansAthe protest and other tactics have produced desired effectsBthe protest and other tactics almost amounted to nothingCthe protest and other tactics have some influence on the publicDthe protest and other tactics have proved to be too radical4.The word“marshaling”(Line 5，Para.4)probably meansAconducting Bpopularizing Cchanging Doutraging5.It seems that the author ofthis articleAis strongly opposed to the animal rights movementBis in favor ofthe animal rights movementCsupports the use of violence in animal protectionDhatestheuse offakefurfor clothes阅读小帮手核心词汇advocate n.提倡者philosophy n.哲学predecessor n.前辈tactics n.策略identical adj.同样的oppose vt.反对impetus.促进radicaladj.激进的reliance n.依赖publication .出版vocaladj.有声的assault n.攻击fake adj.假的 译文：号召人道对待动物的倡导者们从1975年起将自己的目标扩大到反对利用动物来获取毛皮、皮革、毛织品和食品的行为。他们提出抗议，反对所有形式的野外打猎和诱捕动物的活动。他们还与环境保护论者一起推进对动物自然栖息地的保护，使之免受商业和住宅开发的侵害。1975年解放动物：我们对待动物的新伦理一书的出版成为动物保护运动发展过程中的一个重大事件。该书由曾为英国牛津大学哲学教授的彼得辛格撰写，它给予了动物权利运动新的推动力。1975年以后的动物权利激进主义者们发出的呼声要远高于他们的前辈，而且他们所属的组织通常也更为激进。许多新组织成立了。激进主义者们采取的策略是引起公众的注意。从20世纪80年代中期起，时常有有关动物权利组织在皮草商店外示威、骚扰野外打猎者或是闯入实验室解救动物的新闻报道：还有些更加极端的组织提倡通过袭击、武装恐怖行动以及死亡威胁的方式来达到他们的目的。除了对身着皮草外套的人们进行单独袭击或试图阻止打猎者们捕杀动物外，大多数组织的策略一直是针对公共机构的。抗议和其他措施带来了各种不同的结果。公司正在减少对动物试验的依赖;由于法律的约束以及较为年轻的工作人员不愿在研究中使用动物，医学研究也有所减少;代替使用动物的新试验方式已经开发出来了;一些知名设计师也不再使用动物皮毛。尽管大众倾向于认同应该人道地对待动物，但大多数人还是不太可能放弃食肉或穿戴皮毛制品。放弃真正的毛皮已不再是什么问题，因为诸如日本人发明的KaIlecamn乏类鸸用于制造仿毛皮的纤维看起来和真正的毛皮几乎别无二致。对动物权利运动最为强烈的反对有一些来自于捕猎者及其组织。但动物权利激进主义者们已经成功地靠引导公众意愿来迫使国家对若干地区的打猎实施限制。 答案：1.B 细节题。由题干关键词1975，animal treatment定位文章第一段，.其中提到：1975年解放动物：我们对待动物的新伦理一书的出版成为动物保护运动发展过程中的一个重大事件(The occasion for these added emphases was the publication in 1975 of)此书的出版大大推动了保 护动物权利运动。结合选项可知B正确.2.D 细节题。由题干信息词advocate和extreme mean定位文章第二段Some of the more extreme organizations advocateto make theirpoint(有些更为极端的组织提倡来说服别人赞成他们的观点)，而该句正是为了印证上文提到的The tactics ofthe activists are designed to catch the attention ofthe public，即所有这些都是为了引起公众的关注，故正确答案为D。3.C 推断题。由题干内容定位文章第三段，从文中可知，公司正逐渐减少对动物试验的依赖，利用动物进行医学研究的行为也受到了法律的约束，甚至一些时装设计师也不再用毛皮制作时装。由此可知，动物权利保护者的种种努力取得了一定的效果，故正确答案为C。其余选项A“取得了理想的效果”属于过度推断，B“几乎毫无成效”在文中没有依据，C“被证明过于激进”属于过度推断。 j4.A 语义题。根据题干定位文章最后一句“但动物权利激进主义者们已经成功地靠 _ 公众的意愿来迫使国家对若干地区_的打猎实施限制”。由句意可先排除D“愤怒”。根据该段首句提到的“公众开始认同应该人道地对待动物的观点”，可知公众的观点其实已经改变，也得到一定普及，由此可排除B“普及”和C“改变”，只能选A“引导”。5. 态度题。作者没有明确表明自己的态度，但文章结尾处提到But animal rights activists have succeeded in marshaling public opinion to(但动物权利激进主义者们已经成功地靠引导公众意愿来迫使国家对若干地区的打猎实施限制。)，清楚地表明了作者持赞同态度。凯程教育：凯程考研成立于2005年，国内首家全日制集训机构考研，一直从事高端全日制辅导，由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研教研队伍组成，为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研服务。凯程考研的宗旨：让学习成为一种习惯；凯程考研的价值观口号：凯旋归来，前程万里；信念：让每个学员都有好最好的归宿；使命：完善全新的教育模式，做中国最专业的考研辅导机构；激情：永不言弃，乐观向上；敬业：以专业的态度做非凡的事业；服务：以学员的前途为已任，为学员提供高效、专业的服务，团队合作，为学员服务，为学员引路。如何选择考研辅导班：在考研准备的过程中，会遇到不少困难，尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说，通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足，可以大大提高复习效率，节省复习时间，大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班，或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。 师资力量：师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素，考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价，询问往届学长然后选择。判断师资力量关键在于综合实力，因为任何一门课程，都不是由一、两个教师包到底的，是一批教师配合的结果。还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。凯程考研名师云集，李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课，对知识点把握和命题方向，欠缺火候。对该专业有辅导历史：必须对该专业深刻理解，才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研辅导班中，从来见过如此辉煌的成绩：凯程教育拿
