SECTION: "A‟

(READING)

1. Read the passage carefully : 

CAGED AND SAFE OR WILD AND FREE?

1. The funding crisis at many zoos has reopened the debate over the value of zoos and whether they should be allowed to exist at all. People who are in favour of zoos argue that they perform an essential role in conserving rare animal species. Conservationists estimate that today at least 1,000 species of animals are threatened. Over the past 20 years zoos have developed programmes designed to help preserve endangered species. This involves breeding animals in captivity – ―Captive breeding programmes‖- and then reintroducing them into their natural habitats to replenish the number living in the wild.

2. Woburn Abbey, for example, saved a species called Pere David’s deer. The species went largely unrecorded in China from 1920, but a few of the animals were brought to Europe by a French missionary (Father David). Recently Woburn Abbey and other zoos began returning breeding couples of Pere David’s deer to the wild in China. Zoos cooperate with each other in order to ensure the success of their breeding programmes. Animals are passed from one zoo to another in order to prevent inbreeding – breeding from closely related animals. If animals that are closely related to one another mate, there is a danger that they will produce deformed offspring.

3. Supporters of zoos argue that they have an important role in educating children, millions of whom visit zoos every year. Television viewing is no substitute for encountering real animals, they argue. Zoos also carry out important research, for example on the best conditions for rare species to reproduce. If zoos were forced to close it would be disastrous for world conservation, zoo supporters say. And most animals in captivity would have to be killed. ―It does not take much imagination to realize that the closure of all zoos would mean the deliberate destruction of wildlife on a scale never before witnessed,‖ the National Federation of Zoos say.

4. Opponents of zoos accept that some species have been saved from extinction by―Captive breeding programmes‖, but they argue that this offers no solution to the worldwide conservation crisis. The number of animals protected by zoos is tiny compared with the overall problem. It cost millions to save the Arabian Oryx from dying out; but could that amount be found for every species, such as the African elephants which do not reproduce well in captivity.
 
5. Captive animals are often kept in poor and inhumane conditions, opponents say.In the worst zoos, animals are often still displayed for the entertainment of the public. Where animals are placed in impoverished and unsuitable surroundings, they often behave in abnormal and neurotic ways. It is common for polar bears to pace up and down constantly or twist their heads and circle over and over again. This behaviour is now recognized by scientists as a sign of stress and frustration. When children visit zoos where animals are acting in neurotic and abnormal ways, they are not being educated. Instead, opponents say, they are being given an inaccurate picture of animal behaviour. A more precise and informative impression is available to children everyday through wildlife programmes on television.
 
On the basis of your reading of the passage complete the following sentences.
 
1.1 Write the answers in your answer script: 
(a) Inbreeding of the animals leads to the birth of __________.
(b) Closing down of the zoos would result in __________ .
(c) Unhealthy environment in the zoo leads to __________ .
(d) Those who oppose zoos believe T.V Wildlife programmes are better because __________.
 
1.2 Answer the following briefly.
(a) How do zoos help preserve endangered species?
(b) What does ‗This behaviour‘ in para 5 refer to?
 
1.3 Find meaning of the following words/phrases from the above passage: 
(a) To fill up again (para 1)
(b) Meeting (para 3)
 
2. Read the following poem carefully. 
 
DEATH THE LEVELLER
The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armour against fate;
Death lays his icy hand on Kings‖
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with sword may reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves at last must yield
They tame but one another still:
Early or late
They stood to fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to death
The garlands wither on your brow ;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds!
Upon Death’s purple altar now
See where the victor-victim bleeds,
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb:
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust
- James Shirley
