Question

【題目】True or False:

These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.

Zoos Do a Good Job

It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points.

Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.

Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry.

Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of being extinct. But zoos give these animals a chance to live. Without zoos, there'd be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

Maria

Zoos Are Unnatural

In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.

It is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.

Most cages are not very clean either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that we treat other people--with respect.

Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it either.

【解析】

本文是兩封信，分別表達了寫信人瑪利亞和菲利普關于動物園的不同看法。

【1】根據兩人信件的標題分別為“Zoos Do a Good Job”和“Zoos Are Unnatural”，可知兩人的觀點截然相反，題干表述正確，故答案為T。

【2】根據“Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger”，可知瑪利亞認為多數人只在動物園看過真實的熊和老虎，但并不是說它們只能在動物園才能被看見，題干表述錯誤，故答案為F。

【3】根據“The animals are always given food and cleaned regularly. In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry”，可知瑪利亞對比動物園和野外的動物的生存環(huán)境和條件，認為動物在動物園比在野外生存得更好，題干表述正確，故答案為T。

【4】根據“In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad”，可知菲利普認為動物不能自由行動才是不開心的原因，而不是因為關它們的籠子太小，題干表述錯誤，故答案為F。

【5】根據“It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural”，可知菲利普承認動物園會給動物定期喂食，但他認為這違背了自然規(guī)律，所以題干表述錯誤，故答案為F。

【6】根據瑪利亞的觀點“Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world”，和菲利普的觀點“I am afraid that zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people”，可知兩人都同意動物園對人類有好處，題干表述正確，故答案為T。

【7】根據文章內容，可知兩封信是在辯論動物園是否對動物更好，而不是在討論如何讓動物園的動物開心；題干表述錯誤，故答案為F。
