shot dead. as the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.however, the officials cant simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. even before this tragedy, animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers.it is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.circus safe for animalsour circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. while we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “tragedy at the circus.”first, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. as to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals canand shouldlive together nicely. to us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. to overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.this circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.51.what is the main purpose of the first passage?a. to show pity for the performing animals. b. to express worries about animal trainers safety.c. to deal with the difficult situations of the circus. d. to call for action to protect circus animals.52.what will the circus most probably do?a. take no notice of the tragedy. b. continue its performances.c. use fewer wild animals. d. limit its profit.53.what does the circus think of its performing animals?a. they are as clever as human beings.b. they struggle continuously with human beings for existence.c. they are helpful in saving their species.d. they have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.cpost login register supportsourcing

are requested a must.d.the world has changed and being intelligent isnt normally equal to being a successful person. look at the example of the blue whale: it has a huge brain, but it still doesnt know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale is just like some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. those highly intelligent people cant succeed in life because they cant communicate well with the world around them.intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. these people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power. this is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. this distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they cant listen to each other. one side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的). and most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. they become unpopular with most of the people around them. this affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence. it doesnt help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college and realize success and richness dont always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. while some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint, it is sometimes the end result of some people. 58. the example of “the blue whale” is used to show _.a. communication is more important than intelligence b. human beings are always more intelligent than animalsc. humans should have the sense of protecting animalsd. the blue whale is the largest animal in the world59. what makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?a. they become separated from other people and lose their support.b. they often cant get higher positions though they are intelligent. c. they cant persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas. d. they often cant make good use of their advantages. 60. we can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be _.a. great achievements b. more enjoyablec. failure in the future d. surely successful第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的a-f选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。a. take full responsibilityb.
