Across the world they have brought
25、together and displayed live wild animals for people to look at and over the years BUhundreds of millions/B/U have. Any institution with so long a history and so universally attended must reach something in people deeper than idle curiosity. Since it is fashionable to speak of roots today, it might b
26、e suggested that zoos allow us to stay in touch with our most primitive roots in a primeval world where human survival depended on knowing the shapes and habits of wild animals. So important were wild creatures to our distant ancestors that they were the most frequent subjects of paintings on cave w
27、alls, formed the basis for virtually all early religions, and were in numerous instances worshipped as gods.Now our survival is threatened more by what we ourselves have worked, and by the stresses of living among these creations, than it is by wild animals to whom we relegate less and less living s
28、pace with each passing year. In this world the need for good zoological gardens is urgent. The exponential growth of human population and the ever-increasing sprawl of cities does more than rob land from wildlife: it pushes the animals farther away from city dwellers. People live in brick, concrete,
29、 and glass environments where they lose all touch with wilderness; children grow up who have never tried to catch a frog, never seen a hawk soar or a deer step daintily into a forest clearing-let alone watched a herd of elephants ambles across the river or a pride of lions stalk prey.People who have
30、 the time and money can take an occasional trip to the remaining wilderness and find, in places where wild animals still live, the renewal of spirit that comes from prolonged visits to wild country. For millions of others who are unable to leave the cities or cant afford to, good zoos laid out among
31、 plants and trees can bring what conservationist Lan Player calls “a taste of wilderness“. Perhaps more important in the long run, zoos can help give deprived people an awareness that we share the world with many other animals and should have a decent regard for their worth and right to live. If zoo
32、s did no more than accomplish these two ends, they would serve a noble purpose.As it happens, however, todays zoos can do far more. They can become breeding centers for those wild species whose continued existence has become precarious. The term “captive breeding“ has been used to describe this new
33、role of zoos, and this book describes the effort-the most important task that zoos have yet undertaken.(分数:10.00)(1).In the second sentence of the first paragraph, “hundreds of millions“ refers to the great number of _ .(分数:2.00)A.mankinds various institutionsB.zoos across the worldC.live wild anima
34、ls displayedD.people who have visited zoos(2).According to the author, which of the following might be the LEAST threatening one to humanitys survival now?(分数:2.00)A.Wild animals.B.Limited space.C.Population growth.D.City expansion.(3).In this passage, the author believes that zoos _ .(分数:2.00)A.ena
35、ble people to experience the feeling of being in the natureB.bring poor people a sense of comfort with the sight of animalsC.make people cherish their life more by knowing animals fate betterD.serve noble people from less than two aspects in the long run(4).This passage might be taken out of a _ .(分

37、animals from extinction.D.Bringing people a taste of wildness.BText 2/BBetween the eighth and eleventh centuries A. D., the Byzantine Empire staged an almost unparalleled economic and cultural revival, a revival that is all the more striking because it followed a long period of severe internal decli
38、ne. By the early eighth century, the empire had lost roughly 2/3 of the territory it had possessed in the year 600, and its remaining area was being raided by Arabs and Bulgarians, who at times threatened to take Constantinople and extinguish the empire altogether. The wealth of the state and its su
39、bjects was greatly diminished, and artistic and literary production had virtually ceased. By the early eleventh century, however, the empire had regained almost half of its lost possessions, its new frontiers were secure, and its influence extended far beyond its borders. The economy had recovered.
40、The treasury was full. And art and scholarship had advanced.To consider the Byzantine military, cultural and economic advances as differentiated aspects of a single phenomenon is reasonable. After all, these three forms or progress have gone together in a number of states and civilizations. Rome und
41、er Augustus and fifth-century Athens provide the most obvious examples in antiquity. Moreover, an examination of the apparent sequential connections among military, economic, and cultural forms of progress might help explain the dynamics of historical change.The common explanation of these apparent
42、connections in the case of Byzantium would run like this: when the empire had turned back enemy raids on its own territory and had begun to raid and conquer enemy territory, Byzantine resources naturally expanded and more money became available to patronize art and literature. Therefore, Byzantine m
43、ilitary achievements led to economic advances, which in turn led to cultural revival. No doubt this hypothetical pattern did apply at times during the course of the recovery. Yet it is not clear that military advances invariably came first, economic advances second, and intellectual advances third.
44、In the 860s the Byzantine Empire began to recover from Arab incursions so that by 862 the military balance with the Abbasid Caliphate had been permanently altered in the empires favor. The beginning of the empires economic revival however can be placed between 810 and 830. Finally the Byzantine revi
45、val of learning appears to have begun even earlier. A number of notable scholars and writers appeared by 788 and by last decade of the eighth century a cultural revival was in full bloom, a revival that last until the fall of Constinople in 1453. Thus the commonly expected order of military revival
46、followed by economic and then by cultural recovery was reversed in Byzantium. In fact the revival of Byzantine learning may itself have influenced the subsequent economic and military expansion.(分数:10.00)(1).The central idea of this passage is that _ .(分数:2.00)A.the Byzantine Empire was a unique cas
47、e in which the usual order of military and economic revival coming before cultural revival was reversedB.after 810 Byzantine economic recovery stimulated a military and later cultural expansion that lasted until 1453.C.the eighth-century revival of Byzantine learning is a phenomenon that is difficul
48、t to explainD.the revival of the Byzantine Empire between the 8th and 11th Centuries shows cultural rebirth preceding economic and military revival reversed the commonly accepted order of progress(2).It can be inferred from the passage that the Byzantine Empire continuously suffered significant territorial losses _ .(分数:2.00)A.in 600B.during the 7th centuryC.a century after the cultural achievements of the Byzantine Empire had been lostD.soon after the revival of Byzantine learning(3).What attitude do ethical commentators take towards experimentation with hu
