They took pictures of one another with the high-rise buildings in the background. Like many other tourists. they didn't realize that high in a nearby tree, there was something more worthy of attention: an eagle-owl(雕鸮) named Flaco. Earlier that month, the bird Flaco made his great escape (逃跑) from the Central Park Zoo. The zookeepers then tried several times to catch him but were unsuccessful. He seemed to be in no hurry to return to the zoo. Olga Torrey, a photographer, has been photographing animals in city parks for 12 years. Since Flaco escaped, Torrey has kept a close eye on him. She wondered if he would ever return to the zoo. "Once he gets a taste of freedom, I'm not sure . . . "she said. Still, each day spent outside puts Flaco in danger. He might accidentally hit windows and get injured (受伤) while flying. Moreover, the eagle-owl lived his whole life in the zoo in the past. He may not be used to finding food on his own. And if he made a meal of a rat (耗子), it might harm his health— the rat might contain poison(含有毒物). The zoo has had the workers carefully watch Flaco all the time, as they are worried about his safety. Has Flaco eaten anything today? Has he got injured today? Well, another day of watching has now begun. 41. Where did Flaco escape from? 42. What is Olga Torrey's job? 43. If Flaco made a meal of a rat, what might happen to him? 44. Why do the zoo workers keep watching Flaco carefully? 45. Should we get Flaco back to the zoo? Why or why not? 2022年湖南省长沙市中考英语试题 六、阅读回答问题 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Message New  Reply  Forward  Delete                   Print                Move to Dear Wang, Great to hear you are coming to the USA!
