Day 2
【语篇解读】文章围绕是否有必要设立动物园展开讨论。旨在引导学生全面看待动物园的利弊，培养辩证思维能力和对动物权益的关注。
1. D 直接信息理解题—关键词定位法。根据Shane 的观点可知，文中提到“Zoos give animals. . . have lessons to help children protect animals. ”可知，动物园能提供食物、类似自然家园的地方、培育动物以及开展课程。
2. C 直接信息理解题—关键词定位法。根据表格内容可知，Sean 提到动物园拯救了濒临灭绝的秃鹫，Shane 指出动物园能给动物提供食物、类似自然家园的地方，还能繁育动物等，他们都表达了支持设立动物园的观点。
3. B 推断细节信息题—针对特定细节进行推断。根据 Susie 的观点中“When they're in zoos. . . than our entertainment(娱乐). ”可知，她认为动物被关在动物园里，失去了自然天性，动物的健康比人类的娱乐更重要。由此可以推断出她觉得动物应该回到大自然中。
4. B 词义猜测题—利用逻辑关系猜词义。根据画线词所在句的下文“Some zoo enclosures(圈地). . . carry out their daily routines. ”可知，此处介绍了动物园里动物的圈地小，这是关于动物生活条件方面的情况。
