Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow :Zoo or No Zoo1.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.2. 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 last 20 years, zoos have developed programs designed to help preserve endangered species. This involves breeding animals in captivity in 'captive breeding programs' and then re-introducing them into their natural habitats, to replenish the number living in the wild.3. Zoos co-operate with each other in order to ensure the success of their breeding programs. Animals are passed from one zoo to another in order to prevent inbreeding. If animals that are closely related to one another mate, there is a danger that they will produce deformed offspring.4. If Zoos were forced to close, it would be disastrous for world conservation, say zoo supporters, adding that most animals in captivity would have to be killed.5. According to the National Federation of Loos, it does not take much imagination to realise that the closure of all zoos would mean the deliberate destruction of wildlife on a scale never before witnessed.6. Opponents of zoos accept that some species have been saved from extinction by the captive breeding programs, but they argue that this offers no solution to the worldwide conservation crisis.7. The number of animals protected by zoos is tiny compared with the overall problem. It costs millions to save the Arabian oryx from dying out; but could that amount be available for every species that is endangered' The value of zoo-breeding programs is also questioned as some species, such as the African elephant, do not reproduce well in captivity.8. Captive animals are often kept in poor and inhumane conditions, the opponents say. In the worst zoos, animals are still displayed for the purpose of public entertainment. When animals are placed in impoverished and unsuitable surroundings, they often behave in abnormal and neurotic ways. It is common for polar bears to constantly pace up and down or twist their heads. This behaviour is now recognised by scientists as a sign of stress and frustration.9. 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 information that is inaccurate.1. How would closing of zoos be disastrous?a. The closing of zoos would be disastrous for most animals in captivity would have to be released into the wild. As these animals are now domesticated, they would not survive for long.b. The closing of zoos would be disastrous for world conservation as most animals in captivity are endangered species who cannot survive without human support. They would have to be kept as pets, which would be dangerous.c. The closing of zoos would be disastrous for world conservation and most animals in captivity would have to be killed. The closure of all zoos would mean the deliberate destruction of wildlife on a scale never before witnessed.d. The closing of zoos would be disastrous as zoos are the only place where people from urban areas can see wild animals. Without zoos, children would be completely cut off from access to wildlife.2. What is 'captive breeding programme'? What is the advantage of this programme?a. In captive breeding programmes, animals are bred in captivity and then reintroduced to their natural habitats. This replenishes the numbers of such animals in the wildb. In captive breeding programmes, animals are bred in captivity and then shifted to a different zoo. This allows the animals to find a zoo that they like.c. In captive breeding programmes, animals are bred in captivity so the zoo can maintain the number of animals without having to obtain new ones from the world.d. In captive breeding programmes, animals are bred in captivity and then the offspring are domesticated from birth.3.
