After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations -major food sources(来源)for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被),which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
24. What is the text mainly about
A. Wildlife research in the United States. B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves. D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
25. What does the underlined word “displaced” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Forced out. B. Separated. C. Tested. D. Tracked down.
26. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A. Damage to local ecology(生态) B. A decline in the park's income.
C. Preservation of vegetation. D. An increase in the variety of animals.
27. What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
C
Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people's e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The 'if it bleeds'rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication —e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的),but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times'website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times'readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they liked good news better than bad news. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”
28. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to
A. News reports. B. Research papers. C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.
29. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer
A. They're socially inactive. B. They're good at telling stories.
C. They're inconsiderate of others. D. They're careful with their words.
30. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger's research
A. Sports news. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide B. Online News Attracts More People
C. Reading Habits Change with the Times D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
D
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-or-death matters. In their single-minded pursuit(追求)of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover (缓解)can new meaning in competition.
32. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B. Success is a necessary experience in competition.
C. Opinions about competition are different among people.
D. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
33. What dose the underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly
C. those who rely on others most for success D. those who are against competition most strongly
34. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”
A. One's success in competition needs great efforts.
B. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.
C. One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.
35. Which point of view may the author agree to
A. In competition, every effort should pay off. B. Competition should be encouraged by schools.
C. There should not be fear of failure in competition. D. Winning should be a life-or-death matter at school.

In any survey of self-made millionaires, you're likely to notice the key to their success is that they never stop learning. So how does one build a lifelong learning mindset
36 Seek out information that may be contrary to what you believe. Expand your horizons. Challenge yourself to find a better way. You will find a way around barriers!
Turn mistakes into opportunities. The practice of learning from mistakes is one of the best lifelong learning skills anyone can master. 37 They show us better ways to think and work. They also provide insights into hidden knowledge and awareness.
Adopt a growth mindset. A mindset that is in line with how our brains really work really helps. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe their intelligence and talents are fixed 38 People with a growth mindset believe they can improve themselves through practice.
Establish goals. What do you want to learn When do you want to learn it Every year, set goals for yourself on skills and knowledge you want to acquire. 39 Besides, I always have the daily goal of learning something new whether through reading or by talking to other people.
Avoid stress. As stress increases, the body releases chemicals to cause a fear response. This creates an environment in which a person simply can't focus or work, let alone learn. Keep relaxed and learning will follow. 40 There are many other tips for successfully creating a learning plan, but those don't have a fighting chance if your mindset is passive.
A. Try new things.
B. Challenge your old thinking.
C. There is much to learn from mistakes.
D. This means having the end clearly in mind.
E. I usually set three big learning goals each year.
F. They don't think they can improve with efforts.
G. In this way, success will happen much more naturally.

I served as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard in Orange County, California. Late in a shift, another guard, Mike, phoned me, “Hey, I got a couple of kids playing close to the dangerous water section. I'm going to give them a 56 . Keep an eye out for anything unusual.”
Sure enough, as soon as he 57 , a huge wave sucked the two kids into the water. Mike saw it and rushed toward the ocean.
Their mother realized what was happening. She was on her feet, 58 .Before I was even halfway there, Mike had 59 into the deep water to pull them up. They were so 60 that they couldn't walk, so Mike was carrying them, one under each 61 .

Mike had a 63 growing experience. His frightening tattoos (文身) and shaved head with scars showed he wasn't the 64 guard on the beach. I admitted I didn't really get along with Mike. But his saving ability made up for everything he 65 n PR(公关) skills. If any other guard had been 66 that night, there would have been a very real 67 that the mother wasn't going home with both her kids.
Maybe he wasn't her ideal of a knight in shining armor. But that wouldn't change the fact that he had just 68 her kids.
That was over ten years ago. If you ask Mike about it today, I doubt if he'll still remember it, but I won't forget. As I jogged back to work that day, I 69 myself I'd never let my own fear and 70 prevent me from recognizing a hero when I see one.
