📖 題組：
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.

哼，至少沒蠢到家
- 觀念驗證：這題，說穿了就是考你能不能把眼睛睜大點。「資訊檢索」這麼基礎的能力，再找不到重點，你不如去讀幼稚園。文章第二段都寫得明明白白了："By bringing people and animals together, zoos educate the public and foster an appreciation of other species, supporters argued." 選項 (C) 的 educate 和 foster appreciations，難道你還要我幫你用紅筆圈起來嗎？這就叫「完全對應」，很難懂嗎？
- 難度點評：easy。別得意，這不過是個細節辨認題。真正考驗你的，是如何別把「支持者 (advocates/supporters)」和「反對者 (activists)」的立場搞混。連這點基礎的分流都做不到，那才真是災難。這次你答對了，下次呢？保持警惕，別以為每次都能僥倖。
