问题 A zoo is a place where animals are kept and displayed(展示)to the public.Some people arguethat a zoo need not be a place for animal display alone,and may also include raising animal species(物种)which are becoming less and less.Animal rights groups are divided on the matter of keeping animals in zoos--with some in favor ofthis practice,and others calling for a ban(禁令).The most important reason that those in favor of thispractice put forward is that it offers protection for animals.For those species which are fighting for theirlife,zoos are the best places where they get plenty of food,water and medical care when needed.Those who are against the practice argue that the idea of"displaying animals to the public"is itselfa strong enough reason for banning.They further add that the practice of using animals for our ownselfish gains cannot be a good reason under the excuse of protection.The treatment of animals inthesezoos is yet another big worry,with quite a few reports about ill-treatment(虐待)of animals once in awhile.It's very difficult to come up with a clear idea on whether it is right to keep animals in zoos or not.It is true that the animals are protected in these places as they don't get into conflict with humans.But,at the same time,one has to admit that keeping them in zoos equals a disrespect for nature.Theseanimals are born to live in the wild,and we should accept this fact.Which is the closest in meaning to conflict ( Para. 4) ?A. Fight.B.Connection.C.Argument.D.Company.

选项 A. Fight.
B.Connection.
C.Argument.
D.Company.

答案 A

解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段可知,这些地方(动物园里)的动物受到了保护,因为它们不会与人类 。可以推断,动物回归自然可能会与人类发生冲突,可能会遭到人类的猎杀,但在动物园里则不会,故conflict应该为“冲突”之意。fight斗争;connection连接;argument辩论,争吵;company陪伴。故本题选A。
