For questions 37-40, chosen more than once Mark your answers on the separate answer sh Zoos Zo0s are notable tourist attractions as well as being centres of research and conservation, However, there is a long-running debate about whether itis right to keep wild animals in captivity, particularly in urban locations. Here are four contributions to a recent online discussion about the subject. A With the destruction of natural habitats in so many parts ofthe world, 2008 play on increasingly important role in conservation. Without their intorvention, many moro of the world’s surviving species would become extinct. Zoos are able to intervene because of thelr expertise, which is developed through long-term, sustained studies atthe z098 themselves, but also in suppor of eld work nthe wild. One advantage of having ths scientific work done in z00s is that it becomes more easly accessible to the wider pubic. Zoos are great vehicles for informing eople of all ages, though particularly younger ones, na direct and memorable way, bout the proper treatment Of animals, and how crucial they are othe world’s ferent ecosystems, This has not always been the case, but modern z008 look after onimals well and, es such, present a valuable model tothe wider population. There have been many bad z00s in the past, but z00 animals today are well-fed and cared for in spacious surroundings. Zoologists and animal psychologists are brought in to design species-appropriate enclosures and activities. Studies of animals in zoos provide information that would be very hard to obtain in the wild, A study of {gorillas at zoos in the UK and the USA, for example, discovered that happiness can increase the primates’ lives by up to 11 years, and findings of this kind are useful for zoologists in both zo0s and the wild. Sadly, 200s" efforts to breed animals that are close to extinction have mostly failed. The issue here is that the odds against reviving 2 species from a tiny captive community are very high. But generally, as institutions of scientific endeavour, 200s are crucial in the wider dissemination of knowledge, skills and values with regard to wildlife c Care of wild animals in captivity tends to be much more humane than it was in the past, but the fact is that 2008 are for commerce and entertainment. Most visitors go to z00s to be diverted by weird and wonderful creatures rather than to learn. One zoo study found that visitors spent less than eight seconds per snake and one minute per lion. What could possibly be learned from that? Itis also widely acknowledged that, despite the best intentions of scientists, most zoo-based attempts to breed species in order to stave off extinction have been strikingly unsuccessful. Captive breeding programmes will only aver work in large nature reserves, Moreover, claims that zoos are ideal locations for studying animal behaviour conveniently ignore the point that environments affect behaviour, and so studies of animals in 200s may only tell us about captive populations anal provide little data about animals in their natural habitats. > However wall intentioned zootepere may be, 2008 can nevar opiate the naturel habitats of most wil seircte’adarocute soo annals are pacholopalyatocted and chen isiey obese me Behaviour Attempts tues zoos fr brosdig tvsoned epects are ts wen eee egesrutivg Ceeeptons they fl to boar, The kay fete apan ls probaly the ose one nen ge a ar Shinalssrpiy Gone reed welimsonfnement The netlon tatoos cn be eae ae al the population cbout midi, ts also wll moan but how much ean vars aes eaten {for sbtog thom in capes sid smal encosures?

He sot up the farm with a couple of othor teachers and his mother, a psychotherapist, a few years ‘ago. The farm’s main source of income is the fees schools pay to send pupils there, and since opening, more than 700 children have attended. Care farms first appeared over a decade ago in the UK. Now, there are more than 80, and they have their own association called Care Farm UK. Founder member lan Egginton-Metters says: ‘There is evidence that ‘green care’ works.

Aa RARE e Bl bell lia lalch 54 Bl 5 A 36 Reviews of books about architecture ‘A The Meaning of Homeby Edwin Heathcote This book is so slim and whimsical-looking you could easily mistake it for ‘bookshop candy’ — those cute, little tomes perched around cash registers - but don’t be fooled. While entertaining enough, it also draws on the work of such heavy- hiting ‘intellectuals as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Walter Benjamin and Carl Jung. it grew from Hoathcote’s popular series of newspaper columns but here he expands on those pieces with each of the 34 chapters focussing on an individual household room or a discrete building component (floor, ceiling, roof, etc.). Each chapter is a densely packed mixture of observations and curiosities, elivered in an almost stream-of-consciousness narrative, drawing on tidbits of history, folklore, mythology, philosophy, architectural innovation, scientific research, symbols, rituals and literature, plus cinema and other areas of popular culture. Many of the ideas are fascinating, though some fooms get far more interesting treatment than others - and certain observations (such as the notion thattraditional cellarsin legend, movies, and real life are often dark, creepy places, harbouring unknowns) state the obvious. Nonetheless, ‘what comes across overall is how passionately Heathcote has reconsidered the home and how broadly he has read and observed. B Why We Build by Rowan Moore Fowan Moore, a trained architect and architecture trite for The Observer newspaper, has produced 8 thought-provoking, philosophical look at. the relationship between people and buildings, from the often power-crazed planners and architects to those who come later, and work and live jn them. One could say there are almost two books ere: partly a biography of the brilliant Brazilian architect, Lina Bo Bardi, it is also a much wider exploration of the impetuses behind modern architecture. Moore takes us from the ‘extraordinary artificial Palm Islands in Dubai to the Dome in London, via many buildings, periodically Feturning to descriptions of Bo Bard's poetic ‘and humane work. Justifiably hard-hitting in his treatment of many of the skyscrapers that have Gone up in London in the last two decades, his elegant, sharp wit is regularly put to good use, ig the waste, vanity and muddled-thinking assooiated with many of the larger construction projects, C The Architect's Home by Peter Gossel ‘A favourite fiction about modern architects is that they don't live in their own creations but favour elegant historical houses while condemning others to their concrete monstrosities. The 480 pages devoted to 100 projects by European architects, mostly from the past 100 years, in Peter Gossel’s book amply refute this chargo. Beautifully produced, with well-chosen images. ‘and prose that is informative if not always very digestible, The Architect's Home shows how absolutely wonderful modern architecture can be. We have the fabulous creations of some of the twentieth century architectural greats such as Le Corbusier, Gropius and Aalto, but alongside them Gossel has unearthed a number of unfamiliar gems such as Charlotte Perriand's house in the Savoie mountains of France and the black-painted studio of the Swede, Sigurd Lewerentz. There are a fair number of strange omissions such as Konstantin Melnikov's amazing house in Moscow, but, on the whole, the demonstration that, when given the chance, modern architects do in fact Build adventurous and imaginative homes for themselves is very welcome. D 20th Century World Architecture by Phaidon editors In the middle of the last century, writers such as Nikolaus Pevsner tried to define the architecture of their epoch. Irwas about the inevitable progression to.an architeoture suitable to the machine age. This so-called ‘modern movement’ was led by a small umber of masters -Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier ‘and Mies van der Rohe ~ and its advance was marked out by @ few canonical works, such os villas, exhibition pavilions and factories. When the inevitable reaction came, and traditionalists called for a return of decoration and historical styles, the distilled version of modern architecture promoted by Pevsner and others became a useful caricature. ‘The reality was more complicated, and now ‘the publishers Phaidon have produced this hhuge book to put the record straight. They have largely succeeded. Setting architecture in wider geographical and cultural contexts, the book's ange is highly impressive. It is hard to quibble with any inelusions or exclusions of either people fr their constructions. My only reservation is that it suffers from some uncertainty of purpose. Clearly not a guidebook - with 3800 photographs of 77 buildings it is almost too heavy to lift ~ it's rot quite an encyclopedia either. lorige english: Advanced Test 2 >> PAPER 1 Reading and Use of English >> Parca 43 } E ing and >| feces For questions 9-16, read the text below and think of the word which best fits each {98p.
