14．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．However，most zoos remain"collections"of interesting"things"rather than protective habitats．Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored，lonely，and far from their natural homes．
Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species，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．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．This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis．A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages．Another study showed that elephants spend 22percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars，and bears spend 30percent 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．

24．How would the author describe the animals'life in zoos？D
A．Dangerous．     B．Easy．
C．Natural．       D．Unhappy
25．In the state of zoochosis，animalsB．
A．enjoy moving around         
B．behave strangely
C．a(chǎn)ttack other animals         
D．remain in cages
26．What does the author try to argue in the passage？B
A．Zoos are not worth the public support．
B．Zoos should treat animals as human beings．
C．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals．
D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment．
27．The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly byC．
A．questioning the way animals are protected
B．using evidence he has collected at zoos
C．pointing out the faults in what zoos do
D．discussing the advantages of natural habitats．

8．At a time when many students still see college as their best hope for a rewarding career，higher education has become more expensive，far more than the steady increase in the cost of living．As a consequence，average student debt at graduation is currently pushing $30，000．In some cases，student debt reaches six figures．
But falling beyond the reach of these frightening statistics are many capable students who don't accumulate student debt because they can't afford to go to college in the first place．
Which raises a question：Wouldn't our nation be better off if all American students were encouraged，or even assisted，by public policy to push their intellectual capacities to their maximums？What if all higher education in our country were extremely affordable？Or even free？
As it happens，the Associated Press reported that both Oregon and Tennessee are considering the feasibility （可行性） of no-tuition policies for their community colleges．
The logic behind these efforts is well explained by Oregon State Senator Mark Hass："I think everybody agrees that with a high school education by itself，there is no path to the middle class．There is only one path，and it leads to poverty．And poverty is very expensive．"
Hass may overstate the case slightly．Despite the lack of good blue-collar jobs in our country obs that would firmly establish a worker in whatt's left of the middle class and provide paid vacation，a pension，and health insurance high school graduate might still  piece together enough work to keep himself more or less above the poverty line，even though access to the true"American Dream"will still be very difficult．
But the second part of Hass's argument is undeniable．Our failure to educate ourselves to our full potential is very expensive．Hass refers to research from the Oregon University System that indicates that Oregonians with only a high school degree make less money and，therefore，pay fewer taxes than those with college degrees．They are also more likely to require food stamps and other sorts of public assistance．Republicans and Democrats agree on this．
Clearly，the closer we come to reaching our full educational capacity，as individuals and as a nation，the less likely we are to become criminals and prisoners．In fact，it's hard to think of a social ill that's unlikely to be improved by more education．
But，of course，there's no such thing as"free college"．The taxpayers have to come up with the money．
But，would our country be better off if all students had a real opportunity to push their educational capacities to the limit？Of course．There are long-term social benefits that ideology fools us into believing are unattainable．But versions of these goods and others have been achieved elsewhere，and they could be achieved in the United States as well．They may require some remedy （矯正，補(bǔ)救） to our nation's unfair redistribution of wealth in the direction of the already-wealthy，but more equality in income and wealth would be a healthy step，as well．
So，good for you，Oregon and Tennessee．Most of the world's problems come from ignorance，intolerance，greed and backwardness．Education is a very important remedy．

62．What's the problem with the current college education？C
  A．It can't prepare students for a promising future．
  B．It fails to recognize and admit talented students．
  C．It becomes less accessible to students financially．
  D．It lacks a set of evaluating criteria for students．
63．According to the passage，a graduate with only a high school degree willD．
  A．likely become an established worker
  B．have no means to make a living
  C．never be a member of middle class
  D．find it hard to realize American Dream
64．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean？A
  A．Poor people are a costly burden to society．
  B．Poor families can't afford schooling．
  C．Education for poor children is expensive．
  D．Poverty is related to high education fees．
65．What's the purpose of the author writing this passage？B
  A．To describe the long-term plans for education．
  B．To argue for free higher education．
  C．To explain the importance of education．
  D．To fight against unfair wealth distribution．

6．Energy independence．It has a nice ring to it．Doesn't it？If you think so，you're not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession．
"Energy independence"and its rhetorical （修辭的） companion"energy security"are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely though through．What is it we want independence from，exactly？
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running．Yes，there is a trickle（涓涓細(xì)流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction．
Second，Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their own oil．They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what degree are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports？
Third，there are benefits to trade．It allows for economic efficiency（效率），and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit．And although you don't read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90countries．
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy．When that flow is interrupted，we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices，At the same time，we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．

59．What does the author say about energy independence for America？A
A．It sounds very attractive．
B．It ensures national security．
C．It will bring oil prices down．
D．It has long been everyone's dream．．
60．Why does America rely heavily on oil imports？D
A．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil．
B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out．
C．Its own oil production falls short of demand．
D．It wants to keep its own environment undamaged．
61．What does the author say about oil trade？B
A．It proves profitable to both sides．
B．It improves economic efficiency．
C．It makes for economic development．
D．It saves the cost of oil exploration．
