[考題] 很難的克漏字

[buugua (布瓜)]

考題：一般


題目：Do oysters have little bivalve souls? Do they dream briny  dreams,

scream briny screams? On a level that I suppose is selfish and somewhat silly,

 I hope not, because they are alive when they are shucked right   31    us,

their deaths more proximal than those of so many creatures we eat.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

試譯: 它們的死亡比起許多其他我們吃的生物都還要歷歷在目


    They don't thrash like the lobster in its scalding pot, but should we

nonetheless worry about how they meet their end?

And whether that end is a sufficiently compassionate one? These questions

seem   32    they once did. Last month Whole Foods, a chain of grocery

stores that promotes organic and natural foods, announced that it

would   33    live lobsters, saying that keeping them in crammed tanks for

long periods doesn't demonstrate a proper concern for animal welfare.

The Chicago City Council recently   34    of foie gras to protest the

force-feeding of the ducks and geese that yield it. California passed a

similar law, which doesn't   35    until 2012, and other states and cities

are considering such measures.

推 stu60912:these questions 指的是前面兩個
→ stu60912:1. 我們不用去擔心他們臨死前是怎麼煎熬的嗎？
→ stu60912:2. 他們被烹調的方式（死法）是否已經很仁慈了？
→ stu60912:這兩個問題一旦這些oysters 經歷過後，就再也不那麼滑稽
→ stu60912:可笑了。況且後面也舉例說有店家站出來說我們對待他們的
→ stu60912:保存方式很不人道，所以選（D）是比較呼應前後文。
→ stu60912:不選（A）是因為funny是 「用來取悅人的」 （D）則是「引
→ stu60912:來嘲笑的」，兩者的意涵不同。B、C的意思就又差更大了
