阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have 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 hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting thank of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal(残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs 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 fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying 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.

4．A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.

While the artificial (man－made) hand is considerably less useful than the natural one, there may be some jobs that it can do more efficiently. From time to time we have to do rather difficult jobs and feel that one of our fingers is getting in the way. It is possible that on these occasions a specially designed artificial limb(肢体) would be more efficient.
Scientists are now studying ways of increasing the power of the human limb, or rather, of its muscles. A machine under development, known as a “man－amplifier(放大器)” consists of a framework which the operator wears. Every movement he makes is repeated by the steel framework he is wearing, but the power which moves the parts of the frame comes from hydraulic(水力的) motors. If the operator bends down to pick something up, the work is done not by his own weak muscles but by the hydraulic motors, which makes it possible for him to lift 450 kilograms in each hand.
Another machine called a “HardiMan” has two arms and hands which repeat every movement of the operator's arms and hands, but with much more strength. In this device(装置) the operator controls the movements directly. But just as the operations of a distant unmanned spaceship circling the moon can be controlled by radio signals, so also such devices could be radio－controlled. An astronaut exploring an unknown planet could send out a robot which would do the job for him and send back information. Will the day ever come when the machine, more powerful than man and controlled by a computer brain, takes over from its human inventor?
1．This passage is mainly about ________.
[ ]
A．the weakness of the human limb
B．the power and strength of the artificial hand
C．the use of robots in industry
D．the operation of the artificial hand in space exploration
2．According to the passage, the artificial hand is ________.
[ ]
A．better than the natural hand and very widely used
B．slower in doing some rather difficult jobs
C．operated by a strong man
D．being tried and tested to help people in some ways
3．In the passage, the writer tells us that a “man－amplifier” and a “HardiMan” ________.
[ ]
A．are both driven by hydraulic motors
B．are both controlled by radio signals
C．move as their operators' hands do
D．make it possible to work without natural hands
4．The advantage of a “HardiMan” over a “man－amplifier” mentioned in the passage is ________.
[ ]
A．it can be controlled from a distance
B．it can work with more strength and pick up more weight
C．it is more powerful and easier to operate
D．it is smaller in size
5．The writer of this passage believes that ________.
[ ]
A．artificial hands can take the place of natural ones in doing certain jobs with greater efficiency
B．man seems powerless in face of machines
C．natural hands cannot be compared with artificial. ones
D．machines will eventually(必定) get out of the control of their human inventors
