33、however, todays zoos can do far more. They can become breeding centers for those wild species whose continued existence has become precarious. The team “captive breeding“ has been used to describe this new role of zoos, and this book describes the effort the most important task that zoos have yet un

34、dertaken. 31 In the second sentence of the first paragraph, “hundreds of millions“ refers to the great number of_ . （ A） mankinds various institutions （ B） zoos across the world （ C） live wild animals displayed （ D） people who have visited zoos 32 According to the author, which of the following migh
