15、35-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesnt seem like people in the US will forget him.
16、 Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twains famous face on it wouldnt have made people forget about him.The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom.
17、 But it could be said that Hucks freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father, he isnt really looking for freedom，out survival.Its even more of a problem for a slave. Jim, the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps, makes Hucks life seem even better. Its
18、 easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).Huck and Jims friendship, as shown by Mark Twain, is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character, Huck, who
19、gets an idea of the African American experience.Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway, the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.With the race issue(种族问题)_in the US today, perhaps
20、Twain still has something to teach todays readers.1Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twains greatest works?AIt talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner.BIt describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.CIt describes the social problem

23、erry Finn.BTo tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.CTo explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.DTo draw readers attention to the many race issues in the US today.B14、Zoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually
24、a good thing?Those people who are against zoos, would argue that animals often suffer（遭受痛苦）physically and mentally by being enclosed. Even the best man-made environments cant come close to matching the space, diversity（多样性）, and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo
25、animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating with dolphinh family. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example, ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the
26、 other hand, by bringing people and animals together, zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses, or pets which have been given up and no longer want
27、ed. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.One of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding（繁衍）programs, especially for endangered species（物种）. In the wild, some of the species have difficulty in findi
28、ng mates and breeding, and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition, as numbers of some wild species drop, there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically（基因上） similar. Breeding pr
29、ograms provide a safeguard: zoo-bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However, those people who are against zoos say that many zoo-bred animals are not put back into the wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks
30、in South Aften, these some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helpless animal. Often, where animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So, are zoos good for animals or not? Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed, and the benef
31、its of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However, it is understandable that many people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.1According to Paragraph 2, some sea animals may die earlier than wild relatives because _.Athey were born in the ocean parkBthey dont have en
32、ough living spaceCthey are forced to behave unnaturallyDthey suffer from family separation2What is the main purpose of international breeding program?ATo increase genetic diversity.BTo protect mistreated animals.CTo free enclosed animals.DTo do research on animal behavior.3Whats the authors opinion
33、for zoos?AHe doubts the value of zoos.BHe is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos.CHe is against the idea of having zoos around.DHe sees the importance of the zoo management.C15、 Happiness is important for everyone.
