A
Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by thick forests，home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves and bears，many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
　　All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 per cent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats，but these are much smaller than wolves.
　　Some people would like to change things，however! Some
organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”.
　　Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years，over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more wild animals. Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests—but soon there might be!
( )1. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago
A. About 25 million. B. Over 65 million.
C. More than 61 million. D. Not more than four million.
( )2. Why are there fewer birds and small animals in fields in the UK
A. Because more trees have been planted.
B. Because there are more large wild animals.
C. Because pollution is much worse than before.
D. Because people use new methods of farming.
( )3. According to the last paragraph, what are some people against
A. Living closer to nature. B. Planting more and more trees.
C. Helping large wild animals return. D. Building more villages and towns.
( )4. Which is TRUE according to the passage
A. There are more wildcats than wolves in Scotland.
B. People may not be able to take a walk in the hills after “rewilding”.
C. A few countries in the world have a large wild animal that eats meat.
D. More than one million trees were planted in Scotland in the last twelve years.
( )5. What's the best title for the text
A. Making Britain wild again B. A trip to wild Britain
C. An introduction to Britain D. Protecting the environment
