B.
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days:Mother’s Day,on the second Sunday in May,and Father’s Day,on the third Sunday in June.These days are to show love and respect for parents.

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals.How ever, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats (棲息地).Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural bones.
Zoos claim (聲稱) to educate people and save endangered species(物種), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty.Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布區(qū)).The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise.These results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoophobia.A worldwide study of zoos found that zoophobia is common 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(圈養(yǎng)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 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 them.Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
1.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?
A.Dangerous. |
B.Unhappy. |
C.Natural. |
D.Easy. |
2.In the state of zoophobia, animals _________.
A.remain in cages |
B.behave strangely |
C.a(chǎn)ttack other animals |
D.enjoy moving around |
3.What does the author try to argue in the passage?
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. |
4.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.
A.pointing out the faults in what zoos do |
B.using evidence he has collected at zoos |
C.questioning the way animals is protected |
D.discussing the advantages of natural habitats |
5.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.
A.zoos have to keep animals in small cages |
B.most animals in zoos are endangered species |
C.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos |
D.it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats |

Hawaii has planned to be the first U.S. state to roll out(正式推出)electric car stations statewide --- a move towards weaning the islands off oil.
Hawaii, which is far away from the U.S. mainland, imports foreign oil for almost 90 percent of its energy needs. One–third of that oil is used to power cars and buses on island streets. This move will help Hawaii meet its goal of reducing fossil fuel use by 70 percent by 2030.
Better Place, a Palo Alto, California-based company, will build the car recharging stations and provide recharged batteries for electric cars. The company will purchase renewable energy --- such as wind power --- from Hawaiian Electric Co.
Better Place picked Hawaii for the first statewide rollout in part because the islands are a contained environment, with few vehicles (車輛) coming in and out. Better Place would need to build a bigger network across several states to serve some mainland markets. Hawaii also has rich renewable energy resources, including wind, solar and wave power. This is important because Better Place won’t use oil. Better Place plans to recharge its batteries at night with power from Hawaii’s wind farms. That power normally goes unused because of Hawaii’s low nighttime energy needs.
Hawaii is an ideal place to show off Better Place technology because the state welcomes over five million tourists each year from the U.S. mainland, Japan, Canada and the rest of the world. “If we can get them into electric cars when they rent, we do two great things,” Shai Agassi, Better Place’s founder and chief executive officer, said. “One, we avoid emissions (排放物); two, we use the opportunity to educate them, to teach them in Hawaii how it needs to be done in the rest of the world.”
However, Hawaii doesn’t expect to spend any money to improve the network. Maybe it needs to offer tax breaks or other ways to encourage people to buy electric vehicles when they are first offered.
1.
The underlined part “weaning the islands off oil” (in Para 1) probably means _________.
A. exploring the islands for oil
B. stopping Hawaii’s dependence on oil gradually
C. importing more oil from other islands
D. increasing the amount of oil used there
2.
Why is Hawaii chosen to be the first state where car recharging stations will be built statewide? _________
①There are few cars in Hawaii.
②Hawaii can provide environmentally friendly energy.
③Plenty of oil has been found in Hawaii.
④Hawaii is separated from the mainland with few vehicles coming in and out.
A. ①, ③ B. ②, ③ C. ②, ④ D. ①, ④
3.
When visitors to Hawaii rent electric cars, they _________.
A. will be taught it is necessary to do as Hawaiians do to protect the earth
B. will be offered tax breaks
C. need to be told what should be done before travelling
D. should be given the chance to try two things before driving
4.
We can infer from the passage that _________.
A. Better Place is a company producing electric cars
B. people are not encouraged to buy electric cars
C. electric cars will be recharged with power from renewable resources
D. Hawaii now has reduced the use oil by 90 percent
