网考网参考答案：C
网考网解析：
分析推理题。短文第一段第二句首先指出了一种结果：she(即短文主人公Ms Blunsden)has no right to keep any animals now(她如今不能再养任何动物了)。然后，作者通过一名警官的话说明Ms Blunsden被告上法庭的原因是警官发现她在一间小房子里养了35只动物，这个房间连养一只动物都不够大。接下来的几段则说明了法庭的判决。由此即可推知，法庭禁止Ms Bluns&m再养动物的原因就是她养动物的房间太小，故答案是[C]。而[A]在文中根本没有提及，规则属于歪曲了Ms Blunsden的原话。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
