【答案】67.(o)pinions68.(c)ompletely69.(p)roduce 70.(n)ervous71.(a)ctivities72.(n)atural 73.(s)urvive

【解析】本文是一只生活在城市动物园的大象引发的关于动物园是否应该继续存在的讨论。

【67题详解】句意：以下是我们年轻读者的一些观点。根据前文“Some say zoos save animals from dying out. Others argue that living in a small space is bad for an animal’s health.”和首字母提示可知，应是年轻读者的一些观点，故空处应是opinion“观点”，可数名词，因之前有some修饰，所以名词应用复数形式。故填(o)pinions。

【68题详解】句意：多亏了动物园，许多动物物种得以免于完全消失。根据下文“Several decades ago, these cute big bears were almost wiped out in the wild. But the zoo protects them and helps them p… more young pandas.”结合语境和首字母提示可知，应是多亏了动物园，许多动物物种得以免于完全消失，所以空处应是completely“完全地”，副词，修饰动词。故填(c)ompletely。

【69题详解】句意：但是动物园保护它们，帮助它们繁育更多的小熊猫。根据空后“more young pandas”和首字母提示可知，应是帮助它们繁育更多的小熊猫，所以空处应是produce“繁育”，动词；help sb. do sth.“帮助某人做某事”，固定用法。故填(p)roduce。

【70题详解】句意：生活在一个陌生的环境中，被人类监视，动物会感到紧张。根据前文“Living in an unfamiliar environment and being watched by humans,”和首字母提示可知，应是动物会感到紧张，所以空处应是nervous“紧张的”，形容词，作表语。故填(n)ervous。

【71题详解】句意：2003年对35种食肉动物进行的一项研究发现，大多数动物园太小，一些动物无法进行日常活动。根据空前“most zoos were too small for some of the animals”和首字母提示可知，应是无法进行日常活动，所以空处应是activity“活动”，可数名词，此处应用复数形式表示类别。故填(a)ctivities。

【72题详解】句意：动物园为动物提供食物和使其看起来像它们的自然环境的环境。根据空前“an environment that is made to look like”和首字母提示可知，应是使其看起来像它们的自然环境的环境，所以空处应是natural“自然的”，形容词，作定语。故填(n)atural。

【73题详解】句意：如果它们被放归野外，它们将不知道如何生存。根据前句“When they’re in zoos, they can also lose the abilities they were born with.”和首字母提示可知，应是如果它们被放归野外，它们将不知道如何生存，所以空处应是survive“生存”，动词；how to do sth.“怎么做”，是“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构。故填(s)urvive。

1. Happy is an Asian elephant. She lives at the City Zoo. Some people say the zoo doesn’t give Happy the space and social life she needs. It has restarted talks about whether zoos should still exist. Some say zoos save animals from dying out. Others argue that living in a small space is bad for an animal’s health. Here are some o____67____ from our young readers.

argue that主张，认为；argument [?ɑ?rɡjum?nt] n.争论，争吵；论据，理由；辩论，讨论

Here are some o____67____ from our young readers.表地点、时间或方位的副词位于句首，构成完全倒装。倒装就是为了强调句中的某一部分，调整了正常语序，或者说颠倒了部分语序。比如本句正常语序应该是Someo____67____ from our young readers are here.这里彻底把主语和谓语的位置颠倒了，于是就叫完全倒装了。既然有完全倒装，那就少不了部分倒装了，当然倒装属于高中的重难点，经常在翻译里考察，暂且不表。

living conditions居住条件；生活环境。condition[k?n?d??n]，初中阶段能记住下列意思已经够用了：n.状况，状态；条件，环境；疾病；条款

too…to同义转换经常考察，意思为：太……以至于不能，如果转换成so…that，that后的句子中必须加上not。例：I was too tired to move.=I wassotired that I couldn’t move.

carry out vt.执行，实行；贯彻；实现；完成

4.We should still have zoos for a few reasons. Zoos provide animals with food and an environment that is made to look like their n____72____environment.
