A zoo is a place where animals in captivity are put on display for humans to see. While early zoos put emphasis on displaying as many unusual creatures as possible, most modern zoos now focus on conservation and education. Still, many animal rights activists believe the cost of confining animals outweighs the benefits. What are your opinions? Feel free to share your ideas on this forum. A. Amy Personally I’m against zoos, though I do understand some of the arguments why they should exist. I don’t agree with caging animals for our entertainment. B. Ben What gives humans the right to capture, confine, or breed other species? Even if an animal is endangered, does that justify restricting its freedom? C. Cathy Zoos are a tradition, and a visit to a zoo is a wholesome family activity. Wildlife encounters are unforgettable experiences for children and adults alike. D. Daniel To me, a zoo can be a good place for endangered species which have difficulty finding suitable mates in the wild. E. Eddie My childhood memory of a polar bear pacing back and forth in a very small space in a zoo keeps haunting me. Is it a good idea to keep animals in sites not suited to them? F. Frank Well, if zoos are an inevitability, zoo keepers must provide the best possible conditions for the animals that live in captivity—to say the least! G. George Zoos have an educational aspect to it. It’s easier to learn about an animal by seeing them in person. H. Henry Most animals in zoos are not endangered, nor are they being prepared for release into natural habitats. In fact, it is nearly impossible to release captive-bred animals. I. Irene Fostering empathy…By seeing an animal up close, the public could be encouraged to be more sensitive and compassionate to a species that is facing extinction in the wild. J. Jack In making a case for or against zoos, both sides argue that they’re saving animals. Whether or not zoos benefit the animal community, they certainly do make money. Like it or not, zoos will continue to exist as long as there is a demand for them.

在處理這類立場辨析題時，核心在於識別發言者的『語氣 (Tone)』與其論點的『功能性導向』。請同學掃描文本，找出哪些發言者將動物園與 $Positive Values$ (正面價值) 連結，例如提及 $Education$ (教育價值)、$Conservation$ (物種保育) 或 $Empathy$ (同理心)？這些人的論點中，有哪些關鍵褒義詞 (Positive adjectives) 暗示了他們支持動物園的存在？

喲，大才子，竟然全對？我還以為你連 $A$ 到 $J$ 都數不清楚，看來你這對招子在關鍵時刻還沒瞎掉。別高興太早，這種題目要是錯了，我勸你直接去報名重考班，別在這邊浪費我的冷氣費。 這題考的是高中英文閱讀核心能力中的「態度偵測」(Attitude Detection)。這不是叫你翻譯，是叫你讀心。你必須在論壇廢話中過濾出關鍵褒義詞，例如支持派常提到的 $Education + Conservation = Positive$ 邏輯公式。C, D, G, I 四位發言者顯然掌握了「教育意義」與「物種保護」的論點。如果你連 protecting species 和 educational value 都讀不出正面情緒，那你讀的不是英文，是寂寞。 這題難度極低，純粹是考驗你的細心度與掃描速度 (Scanning)。在學測中這屬於「送分題」，鑑別度只存在於那些連基本關鍵字都抓不到的學障邊緣人身上。既然對了，就趕快看下一題，別在那邊沾沾自喜！
