11、of utilitarianism.(功利主义)Many college students choose business nor computing programming as their majors convinced that this professions are where the big money is. It is not unusual to see the college students taking a part time jobs as a warming up for the real battle. I often see my friends taking
12、 GRE tests, working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving test to get a license . Well, I have nothing against being practical. As the competition in the job market gets more and more intense, students do have reasons to be practical. However, we should never forget that college
13、 education is much more than skill training. Just imagine, if your utilitarianism is prevails on campus, living no space for the cultivation(培养) of students minds, or nurturing of their soul. We will see university is training out well trained spiritless working machines. If utilitarianism prevails

20、 food and avoiding predators dont exist. Without such problems, animals in zoos should live to a ripe old age. But that may not be true for the largest land animals on Earth. Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health. They develop diseases, joint problems and behavio
21、r changes. Sometimes, they even become unable to have babies. To learn more about how captivity(监禁) affects elephants, a team of international scientists compared the life spans of female elephants born in zoos with female elephants living outdoors in their native lands. Zoos keep detailed records o
22、f all the animals in their care, documenting factors such as birth dates, illnesses, weight and death. These records made it possible for the researchers to analyze 40 years of data on 800 African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe. The scientists compared the life spans of the zoo-born eleph
23、ants with the life spans of thousands of female wild elephants in Africa and Asian elephants that work in logging camps(伐木场), over approximately the same time period. The team found that female African elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9 years. Their wild counterparts who died of natural

In zoos, they lived 18.9 years, while those in the logging camps lived 41.7 years. Scientists dont yet know why wild elephants seem to live so much better than their zoo-raised count
25、erparts. Georgia Mason, a biologist at the University of Guelph in Canada who led the study, thinks stress and obesity(肥胖) may be to blame. Zoo elephants dont get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild, and most are very fat. Elephant social lives are also much different in zoos than in th
26、e wild, where they live in large herds and family groups. Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than Asian elephants captured in the wild and brought to zoos. Mason suggests stress in the mothers in zoos might cause them to have babies
27、that are less likely to survive. The study raises some questions about acquiring more elephants to keep in zoos. While some threatened and endangered species living in zoos reproduce successfully and maintain healthy populations, that doesnt appear to be the case with elephants. 29. Which of the fol
28、lowing about the international scientists research on the life spans of elephants is NOT true? (See paragraph 3)? A. They compared zoo elephants with wild elephants. B. They kept detailed records of all the elephants in their care. C. They analyzed the records of the elephants kept in zoos. D. The z

Female zoo elephants live longer than their wild counterparts. C. Female zoo elephants die much earlier than their wild counterparts. D
30、. Elephants in zoos and those in the wild enjoy the same long life spans. 31. Which of the following does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. It may not be a wise policy to keep elephants in the zoo. B. Elephants are no longer an endangered species. C. Zoo-born elephants should be looked af
31、ter more carefully. D. Zoos should keep more animals except elephants. DAmmie was only 18 months old when she had an accident that scarred her for life.
