Wild beavers(河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!
Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the River Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise — wild beavers hadn't lived in England for around 400 years!
In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already said the beavers helped the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it "an amazing story".
A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the river bed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. "Beavers also help make flooding(水灾) less," scientists say. The beavers' dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.
There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw(咬,啃) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods on people's land.
Beavers aren't the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. What's more, the world's rarest (最罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.
Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback
1.Which of the following best explains "boosting" in Paragraph 1
A. building B. spreading
C. helping D. creating
2.Why did the government want a trial first Because they wanted to 　　　　.
A. grow more plants along the river
B. build dams for the beavers in the wild
C. introduce the beavers to the wild
D. see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild
3.What are the good things about wild beavers living on the River Otter
A. They help plants grow and make flooding less.
B. They bring heavy rain and floods.
C. They gnaw on trees and harm them.
D. Their dams create floods on people's land.
4.How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news story which have been reintroduced to the wild

5.How do you think animal lovers feel about the news
A. Embarrassed. B. Pleased.
C. Tired. D. Disappointed.
参考答案
一、用所给单词的适当形式填空
1.mice　句意:Tom看到两只老鼠正在厨房里寻找食物。由"looking for food"可知,mouse在此处表示"老鼠";由two可知,应用mouse的复数形式mice。
2.laying　be busy doing sth."忙于做某事",为固定搭配,故空处应填laying。
3.Shake　分析句子结构可知本句为祈使句,故应用动词原形。
4.wings　句意:鸟的翅膀能让它们在高空中飞翔。由birds'可知应用复数。
5.carefully　句意:Jim做家庭作业像李明一样认真。as…as结构中应用形容词或副词的原级,又因空处修饰does,故填carefully。
二、单项选择
1.A　根据答语中的"But writing one's name in red is not good"可知,此处是说应该避免使用红笔写名字。avoid"避免"符合语境。
2.B　句意:我喜欢这些照片,它们能让我想起农村的生活。remind sb.of sth."使某人想起某事"符合语境。
3.B　句意:我喜欢花。我希望在有许多花和树木的学校里学习。 with"具有,带有"符合语境。
4.B　句意:百老汇因其剧院而闻名,而华尔街则作为重要的贸易中心而出名。be famous for"因……而闻名";be famous as"作为……而出名"。
5.B　空处所在句陈述客观事实,故其时态应用一般现在时;not only...but also连接并列主语,谓语动词遵循"就近原则",离谓语最近的主语my parents是复数形式,故用are。
三、连词成句
1.We should avoid making a noise in the library
2.What a useful activity it was
3.Lay your coat on the sofa please/Please lay your coat on the sofa
