ofkillingfoxes."可知，狩獵者認(rèn)為狩獵殺死狐貍是最人道的方式，而反對(duì)

狩獵者不這么認(rèn)為，所以C項(xiàng)“人類(lèi)獵殺不合理”符合題意。A項(xiàng)“獵殺狐貍是

［解析］根據(jù)文中最后一段的內(nèi)容uYoungpeoplearetakingitup,enticed

bytheelementofrebellionandthemystiqueofwhatactuallyhappens

ashuntsattempttokeepwithinthelaw.w可知B項(xiàng)“人們對(duì)狩獵變得更

好奇了”符合題意。A項(xiàng)“狩獵活動(dòng)變得越來(lái)越偷偷摸摸了”，文中說(shuō)禁令實(shí)施

失敗，人們狩獵活動(dòng)應(yīng)該更趨向于合法化，不應(yīng)該變得偷偷摸摸；C項(xiàng)“市民被

法律搞得更迷惑了”，文中沒(méi)有提到相關(guān)內(nèi)容；D項(xiàng)“國(guó)家的傳統(tǒng)被徹底地動(dòng)搖

了”，禁令是動(dòng)搖了國(guó)家傳統(tǒng)，但是禁令失敗，國(guó)家傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng)狩獵并沒(méi)有動(dòng)

搖，所以這三項(xiàng)明顯和文中內(nèi)容不符合。
