Question

【题目】 Last week, Class 1 went on a trip to London Zoo. They had a wild day out! Almost all the students found their favourite animals. The trip also gave Class 1 something else to talk about. They argued(争论) about whether(是否) zoos are cruel(残酷的). The zoo animals are from all around the world. How can they all be comfortable?

Lucy, one of our reporters, was with Class 1 students and she interviewed Tom.

Lucy: What 's your favorite animal, Tom?

Tom: Giraffes.

Lucy: Why?

Tom: They look so strange! They have such long, long necks! And they have really long legs, too.

Lucy: They do look strange. How tall do they grow?

Tom: About 18 feet tall. They can run fast too, because their legs are so long. They can run up to 35 miles an hour.

Lucy: That 's pretty fast! They must eat a lot to be able to run that fast. Do they eat a lot of meat?

Tom: NO, they don't eat any meat. They eat leaves. That's the only thing they eat.

Lucy: Do giraffes live all over the world, too?

Tom: No, they don't. They live only in Africa.

Lucy: But Africa is a lot hotter than Europe! Don't you think it's cruel to bring giraffes over from Africa to Europe? Don 't you think it's cruel to keep them in the zoo?

Tom: Well, I enjoyed seeing them today. But in Africa they would have miles and miles of grassland to live on and here they only have the giraffe houses. I'm sure the zoo looks after them very well. But I don't think they should be in zoos.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

上周，一班去伦敦公园旅行。他们玩的非常开心。本文是随行记者给Tom做的采访。

【1】词义推断题。根据“Lucy, one of our reporters, was with Class 1 students…”可知Lucy是一名记者，下面文章是对话的形式，即一问一答，因此可推测这是一篇采访，interview表示“采访”。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据“And they have really long legs, too.”可知长颈鹿有长腿，因此A选项是错误的；根据“They eat leaves. That's the only thing they eat.”可知长颈鹿只吃树叶，因此B选项是错误的；根据“They live only in Africa.”可知长颈鹿只住在非洲，因此C选项是错误的；根据“…here they only have the giraffe houses.”可知在伦敦动物园他们只能住在长颈鹿的房子里，因此D选项是正确的。故选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据“I'm sure the zoo looks after them very well. But I don't think they should be in zoos.”可知最后一句话Tom的观点，Tom认为动物园会把动物照顾好，但是他们还是不应该被放在动物园。C选项意为“把动物放在动物园很残忍，因为动物需要在野外自由的生活”，最符合Tom的观点。故选C。
