To argue 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.
Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, 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 programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely 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 ceased to exist 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!
小题1: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. |
A.remain | B.disappear | C.become rarer | D.get killed |
A.will rise by 5% next year | B.is relatively stable |
C.is 95% smaller than in the past | D.has fallen to 95% |
A.are too expensive to run | B.put animals in danger |
C.do not provide enough food | D.keep animals locked up |
A.make a lot of money | B.entertain visitors |
C.ensure animals’ survival | D.educate the public |

小题2:B

核心考点
试题【Zoos divide opinion : there are those who think it is cruel to keep animals lock】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.
小题1:The underlined sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“________”.
A.there is something wrong with everyone’s ears |
B.all people fall ill when they hear something |
C.many people don’t pay attention to wearing seat belts |
D.none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice |
A.they weren’t using seat belts |
B.they were too careful when they walked on the road |
C.they were not old enough to sit in the car |
D.they wore seat belts |
A.keep them comfortable in the car seat | B.keep them safe |
C.keep them awake in the car all the time | D.prevent all kinds of traffic accidents |
A.Children Should Put on Seat Belts. |
B.Too Many Traffic Accidents Happened Recently. |
C.Traffic Laws Are Very Important. |
D.Parents Are Important to Children. |
Being in a calm state of mind is simply wonderful. Results of this can be seen when parents no longer shout at their children over any small thing and when one can keep him cool when bad things happen and doesn’t let the situation become worse by his negative influence.
Also results can be seen on a larger scale. In 1993 a very interesting scientific experiment called The US Transcendental Meditation experiment was conducted in Washington. A company called TM got 4,000 calm and relaxed people to simply sit and meditate (冥想) in a central Washington convention center. The results of this experiment showed that during those particular 8 weeks, violent crimes, such as murder, rape, assaults, clearly decreased by as much as 23%.
This is evident proof that meditation can change the state of mind, bring back peace of mind and collective meditation is contagious (蔓延的), just as anything done collectively is contagious. For example, a person has the urge to become aggressive (while in normal circumstances that person is very calm and normal), just because he is sitting at a stadium watching a football game and everyone around is shouting and is aggressive.
Isn’t increasing the quality of life worth spending 20 minutes of time on meditation? Yes, very few people follow through with a meditation method that should be a joy to do. Many start and leave it after only a few sessions.
So if collective meditation has proven that meditation works, that it calms people down and that it brings their levels of stress down, why not employ it in everyday life?
小题1:The underlined word “turbulent” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.changeless | B.disorderly | C.perfect | D.expected |
A.was to test whether meditation is useful |
B.was conducted throughout America |
C.asked the participants to do a lot of sports |
D.had no particular requirements on the participants |
A.Violent crimes are closely related to aggressive characters. |
B.People are sometimes easily annoyed by small things. |
C.Many people fail to carry out a meditation method. |
D.Meditation can cure people of many illnesses. |
Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.
People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near tall object. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but don’t touch any metal inside.
Safety experts say people in buildings should stay away from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The National Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.
Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment
Each year about four hundred people in the United States are struck by lightning. Last year forty four people died. The average is close to seventy. The National Weather Service says that is more than the number of people killed by severe storms.
