听力原文: Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world.
The animals lived in cages that were made of concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean. Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. Although the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.
In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more freedom in large areas so that they can live more as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow through the areas that the animals live in. There are few bars; instead, there is often a deep ditch, filled with water, surrounding an area where several species of animals live together as they would naturally.

This building, although being designed and constructed at the same time as the other buildings around his is noticeably modern in appearance. This has been attributed to Mr. Eddleson's unique appreciation of this particular aesthetic. The uniqueness of the design made for a difficult construction and due to the unusual cold weather at the time construction had to be delayed for 3 months. Our last stop in the tour will be inside the main foyer of Mr. Eddleson's masterpiece.

Today's trumpet (小号) is one of the world's oldest instruments. It is the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are all blown. And they all use the player's lips to produce the basic sound.
The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of the scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more difficult music, and in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument.
The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of several different sizes, and in several different keys.
The trumpet is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______ is needed to make the trumpet work.
A.air pressure
B.daily cleaning
C.keen eyesight
D.longer fingers
