All over the world, thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism. People travel to watch monkey shows, hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins. It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it’s been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather. This is getting attention — over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places. However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems. So what do you think?

【文章大意】本篇文章难度适中,主要讲述野生动物旅游业给野生动物造成的影响以及针对是否要发展野生动物旅游业给出的两种观点。
20. D【解析】细节理解题。根据The World Animal Protection (WAP) says that up to 550,000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill treatment around the world可知,根据WAP,超过550000的动物面对不好的对待,故选D。
21. D【解析】词义猜测题。根据This is getting attention — over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places可知,这引起了人们的关注——100多家旅游公司承诺将不再开设此类旅游场所。再根据However, some people argue that animal tourism isn’t always as bad as it seems可知,然而,一些人认为动物旅游并不总是像看起来的那么糟糕。所以such place指的是动物旅游业,所以选D。
22. B【解析】细节理解题。根据The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain. Even if treated well, they can’t act in the same way as they would in the wild以及It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals. The more people know about them, the more they want to protect them可知,动物们被对待的方式是残忍的并且造成巨大的疼痛,尽管他们被对待地很好,但是他们不能像在野外那样行动;对于人们来说,和动物交流是有趣的和有教育意义的,关于动物,人们知道地越多,他们就越想保护动物。所以两者都提到了保护野生动物,故选B。
