The 17th-century Irish farmer Rober Cook was the most unusual person in County Waterford. He always wore white linen. His underwear, night clothes and shirts were all in white, and so were his suits, coats and hats. He became so famous for his clothes and his love for white that he was known all over Ireland as “Linen Cook”.
　　 He refused to have any brown cows in the field of his farm at Cappoquin and even his horses had to be the same pure white as his clothes.
　　 Cook was a eager vegetarian and refused to eat the flesh of any animal or to wear anything produced by an animal.
　　 A fox which attacked (袭击) his chickens was not killed when it was caught. Instead, he gave it a talk on the evils (罪恶) of murder, then offered it a sporting chance by making it run through a line of his farm workers, who had sticks.
　　 Cook had a long and healthy life and showed that “water for drink, vegetables for food and linen and other plant life for clothing were enough to live on.”
　　 He died in 1726 when he was over eighty years old and was buried in a white linen shroud (寿衣).

您好！如何选择？理由？谢谢！

Answer 1

1、选D, A和B选项通过逻辑可以直接排除，C选项原文已经给出，所以不能算是推断出来的。D选项是对的，因为尽管狐狸被给予了重生的机会，它还是要面对农场里手拿手拿棍棒的工人，所以很可能要面临挨揍了。
2、选C，首先，这句话用引号括起来了，说明是引用的；其次，文章并没有提到名人，所以应该是一句谚语。
