题目内容

Zoos divide opinion: there are those who think it is cruel (残忍的) to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are important for the survival of endangered species.

To think that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day, over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct(绝种的).

Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Worriedly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.

Zoos have special breeding programs to help those animals in danger. These breeding programs are proving very successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost died out twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”

Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.”

However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!

67. What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?

A. He shows no opinion either for or against them.

B. He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.

C. He believes they play an important environmental role.

D. He expresses a desire that more of them be built.

68. The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _________.

A. remain B. disappear C. become rarer D. get killed

69. According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they ________.

A. are too expensive to run B. put animals in danger

C. do not provide enough food D. keep animals locked up

70. According to the writer, the most important function of the zoo is to _________.

A. make a lot of money B. entertain visitors

C. ensure animals’ survival D. educate the public

When I was about 6 years old I lived in Kenya. There was a lot of and there were always street children on the roads asking for money. There was such a big divide between those children and me and I grew up very aware of being so .

We had a wonderful and very kind driver, John, who had been working with my for decades. He used to take us to and from school. One day while we were stopped in traffic a young street child, probably no more than 10 years old, with a friendly greeting, “Hi, John!”

He the car and shook John’s hand,. John then gave him a little bit of money and waved him off with a smile before we carried on our way to school.

I had watched the whole incident completely . John had a large family himself and had to work very hard to make ends .I knew that he didn’t have any spare money. So, of course, at that age I couldn’t understand why he would be giving money to the child.

“Who was that?” I asked. “My friend,” he replied. “I see him every morning on my way to work and I give him a little bit of money.” Unable to comprehend, I asked, “Why do you have to give him money every morning?” John replied, “So he can use it to buy some food.”

It was probably at that that I understood what kindness really was. A person who was in a difficult situation himself still found some money to for a child who needed it. Even at the age of 6 that had such a great impact on me. I didn’t have any money, but I wanted to too. So when my grandfather gave us a chocolate bar after dinner every Friday, I would mine up so I could give it to John to give to his friend.
