Question

Three more cattle farms in Andong，North Gyeongsang Province，were found to have been infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease，Nov.2 2010，Thursday.People fear that livestock farms in other parts of the country could be hit by the virus soon.
On Monday，the disease was first detected on two pig farms in Andong，about half a year after the last disease broke out in Korea.A cattle farm in the area also fell victim to the animal disease the following day.
The Ministry for Food，Agriculture，F(xiàn)orestry and Fisheries made sure that three more cases of foot-and-mouth disease appeared on Thursday and decided to kill all the animals at the farms and others at nearby places to stop the spread of the virus to other regions.Over 800 cows and pigs within a 500 meter range of the infected farms were killed and buried underground.
“Three suspected cases were reported Wednesday，near the pig farms where the first outbreak was reported.The laboratory tests today showed that all three cattle farms were infected with the disease,” a ministry official said.Two newly infected cattle farms were less than 4 kilometers away from the two pig farms，while the third one was only 2.5 kilometers away.
The ministry also said another cattle farm in Andong reported suspected cases of foot-and-mouth disease on its livestock Thursday，indicating the disease will likely continue to spread across the city and possibly beyond.
The government has culled more than 33,000 animals near the affected farms Monday alone under its disease prevention program.Additionally，all 84 livestock markets across the nation were closed Wednesday for a period to prevent spread of the disease.
No suspected cases have been reported outside of Andong，but the government Thursday decided to destroy an additional 22,000 pigs at two farms in Boryeong，South Chungcheong Province.

Answer 1

CBBDA
這是一篇新聞報道，報到了在韓國慶北省安東地區(qū)發(fā)生口蹄疫之后，當?shù)卣�府緊急采取防疫措施，宰殺和掩埋了3.3萬頭牲畜。
1.細節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)文中第2段的about half a year after the last disease broke out in Korea可知上一次口蹄疫的發(fā)現(xiàn)到這一次口蹄疫發(fā)生大約半年的時間，再根據(jù)…infected with the deadly foot-and-mouth disease on Thursday, Nov.2, 2010，由此推斷上一次發(fā)病時間在2010 年6月。
2.細節(jié)判斷題。文章在第3、6段中提到了政府要求不僅殺掉已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)口蹄疫養(yǎng)殖場的牲畜，而且周圍的一定距離之內(nèi)的牲畜也要全部殺掉，因此選擇A。
3.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)句子的后半句，可知33,000頭牲畜生活在感染口蹄疫的農(nóng)場附近，這些農(nóng)場位于口蹄疫的預(yù)防區(qū)之內(nèi)，由此可以推斷政府部門決定殺死這些動物。
4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)這一段話可知，在安東以外并沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)口蹄疫，但是政府決定殺掉位于Boryeong兩個農(nóng)場的22,000頭豬，由此可知答案C正確。
5.推理判斷題。依據(jù)文章，不難判斷出這是一篇新聞報道，所以B項正確。
