M)showF)involvedN)acceptableG)usedO)chooseH)needed

标准答案：O

知识点解析：在文中提到：和人类表演者不一样，外来的动物被迫参加表演；它们

是不体面的和不自然的表演中的非自愿演员。这就说明人类表演者是“情愿

(choose)”在马戏团里工作的。

49、

标准答案：1

知识点解析：参看文章我们可以得知：动物是被迫(forced)参加表演的。

50、

标准答案：L

知识点解析：文中提到：真实情况比这还要阴暗。为什么这样说呢?下面就给出了

事例：政府的监察报告喝露了(reveal)马戏团里正在进行的对动物的虐待。

51、

标准答案：C

知识点解析：这个空格的“伏笔”在短文的最开始，即：“usinganimalsin

circuses"o对比一下：“Animalsusedincircuses''。虽然两个短语的“重心”不一样,

但是它们所表达的基本意思是相同的。

52、

标准答案：A

知识点解析：这里说的是：靠动物发财的马戏团却冠冕堂皇地宣称他们所谓的“教

育”价值以及他们对于保护动物所做出的贡献(contnbutions)。注意：contributionsto

是一个固定搭配。

53、

标准答案：N

知识点解析：这里说的是：但是这些马戏团带给孩子们的信息是：通过虐待动物来

取乐和盈利是可以接受的(acceptable)。

54、

标准答案：C

知识点麻斤：这里说的是：许多马戏团宣称对动物的保护只是想证明利用动物牟利

的图谋是正当的。注意：“justify”表示“证明……是正当的”的意思；而“prove”则仅

仅表示“证明，证实”的意思。

55、

标准答案：J

知识点解析：这里说的是：在马戏团“保护”计划中出生的濒临灭绝的动物从来就没

有被放归野外，相反，它们命中注定的(doomed)要生活在囚禁之中、为什么是“命

中注定的”?这是因为马戏团为了牟利就决不会放过它们。

56、

标准答案：D

知识点解析：为了保护动物的生存权利，当然要推动立法(legislation)。

57、

标准答案：F

知识点解析：卷入某事，与介词in搭配构成固定词组。
