Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved. This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future of London Zoo and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos.
London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London, its director-general, Michael Dixon, said,
“We are sorry that the elephants are leaving; there have been elephants at London Zoo since 1831.”One British newspaper said that though many small animals were very interesting, most people wanted to see big animals--and most of all elephants.
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals.
“This is the only way the young people can see animals without traveling to other countries,”she said.Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry.
“If we send them back to the wild they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo. It can survive at the moment, but it won't survive(继续生存)in the future.”However, May Rosevear, director of the Federation
(联合会)of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.Choose the best answer:
(1) London Zoo has kept elephants ________.
[ ]

The United States is full of motor cars. There are still many families without cars, but some have two or even more. However, cars are used not for excitement. They are a necessary part of life.
Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into city in order to get supplies.
Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. So one mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbour's children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.
More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and to use less fuel. Parking is a great problem and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

Trees are very useful to men in three important ways: they supply them with wood and other products; they give them shade; and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unluckily, in many parts of the world, people have not realized the third of these services is the most important. In their eagerness to make money from trees, some people have cut trees down in large numbers, only to find that they have lost the best friends they had. And besides, they are usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests solely disappear.
This does not only mean that men will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: where there are trees, their roots break up soil--allowing the rain to sink in--and also bind the soil, preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top--soil. When all the top--soil is gone, nothing stays but worthless desert.
Choose the best answer:
(1) The most important service of trees to men is that they ________.
[ ]
A
.help them to make moneyB

[ ]
A
.tree roots break up the soilB
.the rich top--soil will be carried away by floodsC
.of strong windsD
.there is too much rain(4) Some people cut down a large number of trees because ________.

A
.they were eager to get wood from themB
.they were eager to make money from themC
