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.

太棒了！你的判斷非常精準。
- 觀念驗證：這題考驗的是對作者立場的「歸納推論」能力。雖然文章前三段詳細並陳了動物園支持者與反對者的爭點，但最後一段作者點出了現實面的關鍵：只要市場需求存在，動物園就會維持現狀。你準確捕捉到了文末的總結性陳述。
- 難度點評：本題難度為 Medium。鑑別點在於學生是否會被中間長篇的倫理辯論（贊成與反對）誤導，而未能發現作者在結尾處其實給出了一個非常務實且明確的預測。
