always think of my childhood. i miss my hometown so much. i miss my parents who are still living there.” while saying that tears filled his eyes. she was deeply touched. thats his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. a man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home. then she also started to speak, about her faraway

hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure (基础设施) that must be maintained.unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. its not just in yosemite but in national parks around the nation.yosemite is thirty years old according to dennis galvin, a national park service worker. the park is not only old but worn out. two or three times as many visitors come every year. that is too many visitors for the park to deal with.four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the grand canyon. the national park service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.why hasnt the national park service kept up the park repairs? there is a lack of money. the united states has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. it has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. when the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the sierra club. the club claimed that the road work was damaging the merced river that runs through the park.a sierra club lawyer, julia olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of yosemite. that way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.25. according to the text, the mountains in yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated from _.a. the bottom of the valleysb. the top of the mountainsc. the side of the mountainsd. the edge of the valleys26. national parks like yosemite in the u.s. find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because

research paper ca personal diary da newspaperdhow 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 animals. however, 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 bones.zoos 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 beauty. zoos 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 needs.the animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. this results in unusual 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 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(圈养繁殖)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. havent 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.32. in the state of zoochosis, animals _.a. remain in cages b. behave strangelyc. attack other animals d. enjoy moving around33. 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.34. the author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.a. pointing out the faults in what zoos dob. using evidence he has collected at zoosc. questioning the way animals are protectedd. discussing the advantages of natural habitats35. although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _.a. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesb. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesc. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosd. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats第二节
