解析:

1. 選B。從結構上看，本空應用一個關系副詞，引導一個定語從句。

2. 選C。從本空的后一句看，我們知道動物們住在籠子里。

3. 選B。這里用however表示對比或比較的關系。

4. 選C。動物園的動物當然是由zoo keepers進行管理的。

5. 選B。由于被關在籠子里，動物們當然就感覺不舒服了。

6. 選C。由于缺少運動，籠子里的動物自然地變容易生病。

7. A  從后文我們知道，由于動物們居住條件的改善，它們能夠在更為廣闊的空間中生活，人們在觀賞這些動物時所處的環境也就更加地自然了。

8. A  從文章的邏輯來看，給予動物們更寬敞的空間主要的目的還是想讓這些動物產能夠象在自然的環境中那樣。

9. B  根據常識可推知。

10. D  through常用來表示從某個地方穿過。

11. A  instead在這里表示新舊兩種動物園的情況對比。

13. A  在自然的環境里，當然是各類動物都可以在同一個地方生活。

14. C  這里所提到的cage是一種特制的大型的籠子。

15. B  由于這種籠子特別大，因而各種鳥都可以自然地生活在這里。

16. C  special night light指的就是紅外線。借助這種光線，人們可以在晚上看清暗處的物品。

17. B  動物們大多數象人一樣，在晚上休息。但部分動物卻在晚上才活躍起來。人們到這個動物園當然是看這些動物們處于活躍狀態下的一招一式。

18. C  對于動物，通常觀眾只能是看(watch)。

19. C  在所給選項中，在極地出現的動物只有bear。
