I didn't find the chimps' tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty. Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal's name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild，” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But — you may protest — they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn't so bad. Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA's approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animalresearch programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world. Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by welltrained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it's no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn't always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself? 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了现代的动物园是如何得到改善的。 4.The passage is mainly about ________. A．how zoos have improved B．whether a zoo should be closed down C．a new environmental organisation D．the difference between zoos and circuses 解析：选 A 主旨大意题。根据第三段的内容并结合全文可知，本文主要讲述了现代的动物园 是如何得到改善的。 5．From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals ________. A．had much shorter lives than those in the wild B．were not treated well by their trainers C．should have been placed in zoos D．were not as intelligent as those in zoos 解析：选 B 推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句“I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.”可推知， 马戏团的动物有可能被驯兽师们虐待。 6．Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA? A．Organising animal study projects and training zoo workers. B．Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges. C．Designing zoos and approving zoo operations. D．Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards. 解析：选 B 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“These days every zoo requires ...zoos all over the world.”可知，BIAZA 会检查动物园的条件，安排动物交换等活动。 7．Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with? A．Zoo animals should be freed into the wild. B．Zoos are more popular now than in the past. C．Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.

In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction of these ecologically important creatures in the environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade. If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking (非法 交易) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles, and the world's most trafficked mammal (哺乳动物) — pangolins. Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales (鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different species of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone. In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan; building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife; raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade. Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now it is time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin. 语篇解读：由于人们的捕猎，一些物种濒临灭绝。本文号召人们行动起来，保护濒危物种。 .How many endangered creatures are mentioned in the passage?

D．High demand contributes to the illegal trade of pangolins in East Asia. 解析：选 D 正误判断题。根据第三段中的“high demand in East Asia ...is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts”可知，高需求导致了东亚穿山甲非法交易的发 生，即 D 项正确。 10．What can we know about the plan released by the US?

But according to new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter ...and it's all because of technology. “We move quickly from one site to another on the web，” says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions (分心) too：email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites. Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read，” says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.” Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students' concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.” But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says：“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn't worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。随着科技的发展，人们将大量时间花在浏览网站上，快速不断 地浏览网站使人们的注意力时长越来越短；但是有人认为，浏览网站可以提高年轻人的判断能力。 12．Why does the writer mention “goldfish”？ A．To analyze data.
