請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A zoo is a place where captive animals are put on display for humans to see. The focus of most modern zoos is conservation and education. While zoo advocates and conservationists argue that zoos save endangered species and educate the public, many animal rights activists believe the cost of confining animals outweighs the benefits, and that the violation of the rights of individual animals—even in efforts to fend off extinction—cannot be justified. By bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and foster an appreciation of other species, supporters argued. Zoos save endangered species by bringing them into a safe environment, where they are protected from poachers, habitat loss, starvation, and predators. Besides, seeing an animal in person is a much more personal and more memorable experience than seeing that animal in a nature documentary and is more likely to foster an empathetic attitude toward animals. Some zoos help rehabilitate wildlife and take in exotic pets that people no longer want or are no longer able to care for. But from an animal rights standpoint, humans do not have a right to breed, capture, and confine other animals—even if those species are endangered. Being a member of an endangered species doesn't mean the individual animals should be afforded fewer rights. Animals in captivity suffer from boredom, stress, and confinement. Maintaining species diversity within captive breeding facilities is also a challenge. Animals sometimes escape their enclosures, endangering themselves as well as people. Likewise, people ignore warnings or accidentally get too close to animals, leading to horrific outcomes. 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. As long as there is demand for them, zoos will continue to exist.

思路引導 VIP
請思考一下：文中提到的這些寵物，為什麼會讓飼主感到『難以照顧』或最終選擇送到動物園？這暗示了這些動物與我們日常生活中隨處可見的普通寵物相比，在『性質』或『來源』上有什麼特別之處？

老師有話說
- 恭喜，你沒搞砸。看來你的腦袋不只是裝飾品，還懂得語境推論這種基本功。這種題根本不是在考你背了多少單字，而是在看你能不能把文章讀懂，少數還算機靈的學生才會選對。
- 廢話不多說，文章寫明了動物園在收容那些被人「不要了」或「沒能力照顧」的exotic pets。動動你那不常使用的腦筋，想想看，誰會把普通的貓狗丟掉？當然是那些麻煩透頂、來自什麼鬼地方的「稀有品種」嘛。所以，選 Unusual，算是你這題的唯一亮點。
