Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2016·江西南昌模拟)Bullfighting has been a Spanish culture symbol for hundreds of years.At first，bullfighting was used to test bravery and manhood.Later，bullfighting was spread to Rome.My question is：how can some people view this as an art form and a tradition?

The big controversy over bullfighting is whether or not it is ethically right.There are a lot of arguments on both sides debating whether it is right or wrong.Even though some people see this as an art form or a tradition，a recent study showed that 68.8% people had no interest in bullfighting，20.6% had some interest and 10.4% had a lot of interest.

A lot of people say that it is a bloody sport that results in the suffering of bulls.A lot of bullfighters like to shave the bull’s horns.That gives the bull a disadvantage.The horns of the bull help it judge distance and maintain its balance.Even though shaving is physically harmless to the bull，the shave is very traumatic to the bull as it is often psychologically beaten.

I was looking at a website that was discussing whether bullfighting is a sport.Someone said，“Bull­fighting is not a sport.It is not an equal contest between a bull and a man.It is a tragedy；the death of a bull is played by the bull and the man involved.”

The people who are for the bullfighting say that it is culturally important and is an art form just like painting，dancing，and music.They say bullfighting is the only art where the artist is in danger of death.It demonstrates the artist’s courage.It has been compared to circus art，but circus artists do not kill an animal to achieve their effect.
