课时规范训练(单独成册) 训练(四十四) Ⅰ.阅读理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。 A An estimated eight million people in Britain enjoy walking in the Peak District every year.But what many who enjoy outdoor hobbies don’t know is that their “right to walk” was won by men who sacrificed their own freedom to gain access to the countryside for all. In 1932 wealthy landowners had private use of large areas of uplands for hunting.Walkers were kept out by guards，until a group of 400 people from Manchester and Yorkshire，led by Benny Rothman，engaged on a mass trespass (侵入)．The campaigner was put into prison with four other men. The event is supported by many with starting a movement that paved the way for the establishment of national parks.Mr Rothman died in 2002 but he is now being honoured for his contribution with the revealing of a blue plaque (匾额) on his former home in Crofton Avenue，Timperley，Greater Manchester. Retired professor，Harry，who followed in his father’s footsteps by specialising in environmental issues，says：“He was a very optimistic man and he made the best of it when he went to prison.It didn’t put him off campaigning，he went on campaigning on environmental issues most of his life.”Mr Rothman did live to see the Countryside Rights of Way Act passed by Parliament in 2000，ensuring the freedom of the countryside for future generations. |
