问题     June came and the hay (干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer’s Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.
    It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.
We can learn from the passage that______.

选项 A、the cows often ran out to look for food
B、the cows often had fights with their masters
C、Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cows
D、Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cows

答案C

解析 第二段。事情一发生,他们立刻人手一根鞭。作者描述他们从没见过这些牛如此大胆地反抗,以及描述他们已经习惯了随意鞭打这些牛。这些都证实了一点,即乔恩和他的工人经常鞭打牛。Passage Two
