Now which are the animals really to be pitied in captivity? First, those clever beings whose lively urge for activity can find no outlet behind the bars of the cage. This is most conspicuous, even for the uninitiated, in the case of animals which, when living in a free state, are accustomed to roaming about widely. Owing to this frustrated desire, foxes and wolves housed, in many old-fashioned zoos, in cages which are far too small, are among the most pitiable of all caged animals.
Though pinioned swans generally seem happy, under proper care, by hatching and rearing their young without any trouble, at migration time things become different: they repeatedly swim to the lee side of the pond, in order to have the whole extent of its surface at their disposal, trying to take off. Again and again the grand preparations end in a pathetic flutter of their half wings; a truly sorry picture!
This, however, rarely awakens the pity of the zoo visitor, least of all when such an originally highly intelligent and mentally alert animal has deteriorated, in confinement, into a crazy idiot, a very caricature of its former self. Sentimental old ladies, the fanatical sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, have no compunction in keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage or even chained to a perch. Together with the large corvines, the parrots are probably the only birds which suffer from that state of mind, common to prisoners, namely, boredom.
What is an "outlet" in the context of this passage?
选项
A、An opportunity for expression.
B、A place to let.
C、A chance of escape into a wood.
D、An exit for a marketer.
答案
A
解析
词义题型。outlet出现在第一段第二句First,those clever beings whose lively urge foractivity can find no outlet behind the bars of the cage.(首先,在笼中,这些聪明的生灵的活力是无处发泄的。)中。outlet指(精力、强烈的情感等的)发泄的出路:He needs an outlet for all that pent—up fury.他那积愤需要有机会倾吐。所以,判断A项正确。
