If zoos did no more than accomplish these two ends, they would serve a noble purpose. As it happens,

33、however, todays zoos can do far more. They can become breeding centers for those wild species whose continued existence has become precarious. The team “captive breeding“ has been used to describe this new role of zoos, and this book describes the effort the most important task that zoos have yet un

34、dertaken. 31 In the second sentence of the first paragraph, “hundreds of millions“ refers to the great number of_ . （ A） mankinds various institutions （ B） zoos across the world （ C） live wild animals displayed （ D） people who have visited zoos 32 According to the author, which of the following migh

39、l music format known as MP3. Nowadays, more and more young people are fond of music that is played on their portable MP3 players.

Traditional

41、records and their sale may be greatly undermined by this new format of music, and for the musics sake, it is better conveyed in this new medium.
