Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their exampleBHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animalsHow ever, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats （栖息地）Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural bonesZoos claim （声称） to educate people and save endangered species（物种）, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beautyZoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range（分布区）The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needsThe animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exerciseThese results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoophobiaA worldwide study of zoos found that zoophobia is common among animals kept in small spaces or cagesAnother 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 painFurthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangeredCaptive breeding（圈养繁殖）of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wildZoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying outIn fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customersHavent we seen enough competitions 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 themInstead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats46How would the author describe the animals life in zoos?ADangerous BUnhappy CNatural DEasy47In the state of zoophobia, animals _Aremain in cagesBbehave strangelyCattack other animalsDenjoy moving around48What does the author try to argue in the passage?AZoos are not worth the public supportBZoos fail in their attempt to save animalsCZoos should treat animals as human beingsDZoos use animals as a means of entertainment49The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _Apointing out the faults in what zoos doBusing evidence he has collected at zoosCquestioning the way animals is protectedDdiscussing the advantages of natural habitats50Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _Azoos have to keep animals in small cagesBmost animals in zoos are endangered speciesCsome endangered animals are reproduced in zoosDits acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsCMotherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia（痴呆） in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones（荷尔蒙） , USresearchers reported on ThursdayTests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimers（早老痴呆症）University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy（怀孕） are protecting the brain, including estrogen（雌激素）, which we know has many neuroprotective （保护神经的） effects,” Kinsley said“Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview“They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes” Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimers and other forms of age-related brain decline“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brainIf you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward youngBut if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations（改变） to the brain”51How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?ASome researchers have told themBMany women say soCThey know it by experimenting on ratsDThey know it through their own experience52What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?ABaby ratsBAnimalsCOld ratsDGrown-up rats53What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?AEstrogen BThe hormones of pregnancyCMore exercise DTaking care of children54“Its rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals” What does the sentence suggest?AThe experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humansBThe experiments on the rats are very important for animalsCThe experiments on the rats are much the same on humansDThe experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals55Which title is the best for this passage?
