People began to keep animals in zoos over 3,000 years before, when the rulers of China opened an enormous zoo called the Gardens of Intelligence. In much of the early zoos, animals taught to perform for the visitors. This no longer happens and it is accepted that the purpose of zoos are for people to see animals behaving natural.
Today, most cities have a zoo or wildlife park. However, not everybody approves of zoos. Person who think that zoos are a good idea say they provide us for the opportunity to learn about the natural world and be close to wild animals. Both of these would not be possible with zoos. On the other hand, some people disapprove of zoos because they believe it is wrong putting animals in cages, and argue that in zoos where are not managed properly, animals live in dirty conditions and eat suitable food.

LIVING IN THE VALLEY

(0) ___B___ Until that time, we had felt safe and sheltered in our valley below the protecting hills.
Soon snow began to fall. Within a day it lay some 15cm deep. (1) _________ But on the neighboring heights the snow was much deeper and stayed for longer. Up there the wind blasted fiercely. Deep in our valley, we felt only sudden gusts of wind; trees swayed but the branches held firm.
And yet we knew that there was reason for us to worry. The snow and wind were certainly inconvenient but they did not really trouble us great. (2) _________ It reminded us of what could have occurred if circumstances had been different, if the flow of water from the hills had not, many years before, been controlled, held back by a series of dams.
In a short time, the snow started to melt. Day after day, we watched furious clouds pile up high over the hills to the west. Sinister grey clouds extended over the valleys. (3) _________ We had seen enough of the sky; now we began to watch the river, which every day was becoming fuller and wilder.
The snow was gradually washed away as more and more rain streamed from the clouds, but high up in the hills the reservoir was filling and was fast approaching danger level. And then it happened – for the 1st time in years the reservoir overflowed. (4) _________. 
The river seemed maddened as the waters poured almost horizontally down to its lower stretches. Just a couple of meters from our cottage, the stream seemed wild beneath the bridge. (5) _________ For three days we prayed that it would stay below its wall. Fortunately, our prayers were answered as the dam held and the waters began to subside.Thanks to this protection, we can feel our home in the valley is still secure and safe.

(1) On the night of September 2, 1666, a fire broke out in a baker's shop near Fish Street Hill in London. Before the flames were finally extinguished, nearty the entreaty had been reduced to ashes. Over thirteen thousand homes, fifty churches and numerous public buildings and hospitals were lost in the blaze. For all practical purposes, London was destroyed.
(5) The Great Fire was not seen as a total tragedy, however. The deplorable conditions of the city had been attacked by physicians and humanitarians for years before the fire; thus, with the opportunity dearly presented to create a shining new dty, artists and craftsmen from all over England hurried to submit their designs for the rebuilding of London.
 Among those who submitted plans was Sir Christopher Wren, one of England's leading architects and the 
(10) Surveyor of London. The task of rebuilding the city was given to him. Wren realized that the Great Fire would not have been so damaging if the city had been better laid out: broader streets were needed to replace the crooked, narrow alleys overhung with dilapidated wooden houses and shops. He also felt that redesigning the main thoroughfares of London would result in increased and more effective transportation within the city.
 Shortly after Wren began working on his first drafts for the rebuilding. King Charles I issued a proclamation (15) prohibiting the construction of any house or shop within the city limits until after the plans were completed. When the plans were unveiled to the citizens of London, however, they were overwhelmingly rejected. The most vocal leaders of the opposition were the landlords, who feared that such a drastic widening of the streets would reduce the amount of land available for development.
(20) Winter was approaching; consequently, it was necessary for the rebuilding to proceed at once. Permission was, therefore, granted for the townspeople and landlords to commence reconstruction of their houses and shops at the sites where they had been before the fire. Had the need for immediate action not been so pressing, some kind of compromise could likely have been reached. This was not to be, however, and the ideas that could (25) have made London one of the world's most beautiful cities never came to pass.
11 The probable meaning of “reduced to ashes” (line 2) is ..........
A. made unbearably hot 	B. discolored by the fire and smote
C. covered with ashes 	D. destroyed by fire
12. Which of the followings was probably among the deplorable conditions of the city?
A. lack of adequate lightning
B. the rough streets and alleys
C. the run-down condition of many houses and shops
D. all of the above
13. What did Sir Christopher Wren describe as the reason for the damage of the city?
A. the configuration 	B. the construction 	C. the landscape 	D. the pathway
14. The word thoroughfares (line 13) refers to..........
A. public buildings 	B. streets 	C. alleys 	D. houses and shops
15. The word proclamation (line 14) refers to..........
A. promulgation 	B. speech 	C. request 	D. law
16. The word unveiled (line 16) refers to..........
