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 zoo-chosis(圈禁性精神病). A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is mon 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 petitions 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.

32. How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?

A. Easy B. Unhealthy C. Unhappy D. Dangerous.

33. In the state of zoochosis, animals usually_________.

A. remain in cages B. behave strangely

C. attack other animals D. enjoy moving around 34. What point of view does the author hold according to the text?

A. Zoos are not worth the public support. B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.

D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment. 35. What can we infer from the text?

A. It’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats B. Visitors can learn a lot about animals after visiting the zoo C. Zoos often pay much attention to the animals’ natural lifestyle D. Zoos can earn some money from their captive breeding programs 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
