C

      A zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed(展示) to the publie. Some people argue that a zoo need not be a place for animal display alone,and nay also include raising animal species(物种)which are becoming less and less.

      Animal rights groups are divided on the matter of keeping animals in zoos-with some in favor of this practice, and others calling for a ban(禁令).The most important reason that those in favor of this practice put forward is that it offers protection for animals.For those species which are fighting for their life, zoos are the best places where they get plenty of food,water and medical care when needed.

      Those who are against the practice argue that the idea of“displaying animals to the publie”is itself a strong enough reason for banning. They further add that the practice of using animals for our own selfish gains cannot be a good reason under the excuse of protection.The treatment of animals in:hese zoos is yet another big worry,with quite a fewreports about ill-treatment(虐待) of animals once in a while.

      It’s very difficult to come up with a clear idea on whether it is right to keep animals in zoos or not. It is true that the animals are protected in these places as they don’t get into conflict with humans.But, at the same time,one has to admit that keeping them in zoos equals a disrespect for nature. These animals are born to live in the wild,and we should accept this fact.

      43. Some animal rights groups are in favor of the zoo because it can_____.

      A. attract visitors          B. make money         C. train animals         D. protect animals

    【答案解析】D

      应试指导：事实细节题。根据第二段第二句可知，那些人支持这种做法的理由在于，它(动物园)提供了对动物的保护。故本题选 D。

      44. Those who are against the zoo think that people should_____.

      A. let animals live in the wild         B. sell animals in zoos

      C. use animals for fun                    D. raise animals at home

    【答案解析】A

      应试指导：推理判断题。根据第三段可知，反对动物园的人认为，“向公众展示动物”本身就是个足够有力的反对理由，利用动物牟取私利的做法不能成为保护动物的正当理由，且动物园虐待动物的情况时有发生。由此可推断，反对的人认为，人们应该让动物回归自然。故本题选A。

      45.Which is the closest in meaning to conflict (Para4) ?

      A. Fight.         B. Connection         C. Argument.         D. Company

    【答案解析】A

      应试指导：词义猜测题。根据最后一段可知，这些地方(动物园里)的动物受到了保护，因为它们不会与人类发生冲突，可以推断，动物回归自然可能会与人类发生冲突，可能会遭到人类的猎杀，但在动物园里则不会，故conflict应该为“冲突”之意。fight千争 ; connection 连接 ; argument 辩论，争吵 ; company 陪伴。故本题选A。

      46. What would be the most suitable title for the text?

      A. Zoos-Best Places for Wild Animals               B. Is It Right to Keep Animals in Zoos?

      C. Zoos-Places far Fun to the Public                 D. How Should Animals Be Treated in Zoos?

    【答案解析】B

      应试指导：主首大意题。通读全文可知，文章阐述了两种观点:一种是对动物园表示支持，一种则是反对，第二，三段分别解释了理由。最后一段提出，让动物待在动物园里正确与否很难判断。因此，文章的标题应该是“让动物待在动物园里是对的吗?”故本题选B。

D

      Did your child’s brain become smaller last sunmer?Probably notaccording to a study by Dr.Harris Cooper,professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia.The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacationthey’ve lost one to three months worth of leaning.

      This is more harmful for math than it is for reading.“All students lose math skills,”says Cooper. It may be because kids(小孩)have more chances to practice reading than math.Middle-class childrer actually lean more in reading than lower-income students over the summer.Cooper feels that this results from the variety of activities that many middle-class kids take part in over the summer,such as camping(野营)and trips.

     “Parents can help their kids keep educational skills,”says Cooper. He suggests the following tips to have a learning-filled summer.

      1. Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries offer special summer events for kids.

      2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they’ll be covering in class.

      3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math-related activities.

      4. Consider summer school.Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from summer school programs. Summer school can also enrich and quicken leaning in areas where kids show a special interest.

      Remember to keep it fun! You don’t want to make your kids unhappywith learning during the summer break.

      A. Kids love reading more after the summer
