30、avel more around the world BHow 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 prote
31、ctive habitats (栖息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural bones.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intellige
32、nce, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural range. 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 pri
33、vacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. These results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis.

35、ted 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
36、save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them.

39、 of natural habitatsCLanguage as a System of SymbolsOf all systems of symbols(符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的)dependency, to l
40、et the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that that it stands for. Just as so
41、cial positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts m
42、ay appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connect
43、ions. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why cant they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that
44、they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.63. Langu
45、age is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _.A. have made use of language for centuriesB. use our nervous systems to support languageC. have made various noises stand for any eventsD. can make anything stand for anything by agreement64. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?A.
46、Different noises may mean different things.B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.65. In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_”.A. try very hard B. take our time
47、C. are very unhappy D. feel especially painful66. The example of the little boy is used to show that _.A. adults often learn from their youngB. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC. words are not connected with the things they stand forD. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language
