How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered.Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wilD.Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats. 64.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos? A.Dangerous. B.Unhappy. C.Natural. D.Easy. 65.In the state of zoochosis, animals _________. A.remain in cages B.behave strangely C.attack other animals D.enjoy moving around 66.What does the author try to argue in the passage?

A.pointing out the faults in what zoos do B.using evidence he has collected at zoos C.questioning the way animals are protected D.discussing the advantages of natural habitats 68.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that __________. A.zoos have to keep animals in small cages B.most animals in zoos are endangered species C.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos D.it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats 【实战演练练习二十五】(04上海卷 C篇)
We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have to tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill—respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well—respected school. This defend of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child form a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer. 82.The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that________. A.bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs. B.children from well—respected schools tend to have good jobs C.poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D.children attending ordinary schools achieve great success 83.What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author? A.Schools for bright children would lose their reputation. B.There would be more opportunities and excellence. C.Children from poor families would be able to change their schools. D.Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation. 84.The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________. A.jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection B.computers should be selected to take over many jobs C.special classed are necessary to keep the school standards D.schools with academic subjects should be done away with 85.The passage mainly focuses on ___________. A.schools and certificates B.examination and equality C.opportunity and employment D.standards and reputation |
