11、单选题:
‌Directions: Read the following passage carefully. The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.‍‌Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage.‍         When a topic about rights is brought up, we automatically think of human rights and more than likely, our own. Or maybe we think back to when the rights of humans were based on their skin color or appearance. And while that’s great that we acknowledge the rights that our species has as a whole, we are still missing the bigger picture. What about the rights of non-human animals? Don’t animals suffer in a similar way to the way slaves suffered back from the 1300s until the 1800s? Yet still forms of slavery exist today and they are not only enslaving humans but a majority of animals!‍        Taking a step back and looking at slavery as a whole, it seems that the main reason for this discrimination bottles down to race – the color of one’s skin. In simpler terms, the way one looks. This may seem silly, but whether you are white, black, brown, yellow, furry, scaly… your rights vary! Why? Because our society not only compares your opinions or beliefs to the rest of the world but something you can’t change – your appearance. ‍        As far as human beings are concerned, would you eat the mentally ill, the weak, the young, or the abused? What makes animals so different that they don’t classify under these categories like humans do? Sure, animals can’t vote and don’t have jobs but neither should or do some people. Yet why we value their lives any differently? In the end, no matter what part of the ecosystem we play a role in, each and every one of us has a heart, a mind, and a soul though used differently. How you choose to use these is up to you. But why not give others an equivalent opportunity to use theirs to their fullest potential, too? And even if you don’t believe animals have souls; aren’t you an animal, too?‍         Besides, there’s no denying that cats and dogs have souls. Why do we put them into a separate box instead of putting all animals into the same one? Sure, we have our differences; between human to human, animal to animal or human to animal, being unique is something we should cherish and embrace, not destroy and shackle. Do we take away some rights of the illiterate or the mute? Of course not! It’s time we stop putting not only humans into boxes, but animals, as well. We’ve taken a step forward when it comes to race but what about species? We’ve liberated those in chains, those who were once viewed as our slaves. Yet, now, we sit here disgusted with the act of it all. One can’t help but wonder if the day will come for animals, too; one can only hope.‍        If humans deserve to be liberated, why not liberate animals?‍        Human beings are a part of the animal kingdom, not apart from it. ‍‌‍‌Question 11 is based on the above passage.‍‌What is the purpose of this passage?‍
选项:
A: To appeal for equal treatments of animals as we treat human beings.
B: To advocate a fight against those who mistreat animals.
C: To show humans and animals are treated in different ways. 
D: -----
