Yellowstone National Park is one of the wildest places in the United States. But a few years ago, something very important was missing: wolves! To make things right, the US government（政府）decided to bring wolves back to Yellowstone, and they hope that the coming of wolves would help to stop the number of some animals from growing.
The plan started in 1995, when scientists caught 14 wolves in Canada. Then they took the wolves to Yellowstone and put them into big outdoor cages（笼子）. As soon as the wolves got used to（习惯）their environment, the scientists let them walk freely in the wild.
It seemed that the wolves were quickly making themselves right at home. In a few hours of leaving their cages, the wolves made their first kill. It was an elk—a kind of huge deer and their favorite prey in Canada. Elk lived in Yellowstone for many years without wolves, so their groups become bigger and stronger. But from the time the wolves were free, the wolves would help to stop the number of elk under control.
Life was good for the wolves. Plenty of food meant they could have more babies. During the first year, there were 9 little baby wolves. At the same time, scientists caught 17 more big wolves in Canada and put them into the park again. In the spring of 1997, nine different kinds of wolf groups had 67 babies.
Scientists thought they had to catch and bring more wolves to the park. However, with the wolf number growing so quickly, they decide that this is no more necessary.
6．Why did the US government decide to bring wolves back to Yellowstone
A．Because wolves could make more visitors visit the park.
B．Because wolves would help to stop the number of some animals from growing.
C．Because wolves offered more food to other animals.
D．Because wolves could keep many animals in the park safe.
7．How many baby wolves were born in Yellowstone National Park in the first year
A．17 B．9 C．67 D．14
8．According to（根据）the last paragraph, what will the scientists do next
A．Catch more wolves in other countries.
B．Stop bringing wolves to the park.
C． Kill some wolves for other animals.
D．Feed more elk in the park.
9．Why did the writer write the passage
A．To encourage us to keep wolves safe.
B．To explain why people are afraid of wolves.
C．To tell about a successful decision about animals.
D．To show the excitement of wolves coming back.

Have you ever seen a chameleon (变色龙) How large is it Scientists have found a kind of very small chameleon. It is so small that it can sit on your fingertip. Scientists have only found two of them-one male(雄性) and one female.
The scientists from Germany and Madagascar found the new kind of chameleon in the rainforests of Madagascar. It is called Brookesia nana, or B．nana. It is the smallest known adult animal among the world’s over 11,000 reptile species(爬行动物). The rainforest in Madagascar are home to many animals. Before B．nana, the world’s smallest known reptile was another chameleon called Brookesia micra. It grows to be about 2.9 cm long. The female B．nana was about the same size. The male B．nana, however, was much smaller. It is 2.2 cm from head to tail. This is unusual for chameleons, because usually the males are larger than the females. Unlike some other chameleons, B．nana isn’t able to change its colors. The skin(皮肤) of it is a mixture of brown colors.

Is the whale the world’s largest fish No. It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal(哺乳动物). Then what’s the world’s largest fish It’s the whale shark(鲸鲨).
Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in the ocean(海洋) around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.A whale shark is sometimes called a “ gentle giant（温柔的巨人)”. It likes to be alone and doesn’t care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighs 24, 250 pounds and is nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus.
Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some math. The whale shark’s teeth are arranged in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw(颌) and around three hundred teeth in each row.
However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew or bite its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills(腮).
For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to the Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish.
Whale sharks do live in the ocean around the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientist continue to learn about these gentle giants.

Layi Aga, 76. broke into a smile when she thought of her first trip by train.
The year was 1970, Layi, from Mianshan Township in Liangshan, Sichuan, walked more than 7 kilometers along mountain roads with her family, hoping to see a train pull into the railway station. At that time, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway just started running and it was the main railway connecting Sichuan and Yunnan. Train stations were built in mountain villages and townships, and Mianshan was one of the stops.

The round trip by slow train takes about three hours, but it only costs 10 yuan. And for Layi and many people like her, the train is not a mode of transportation (交通方式), but also a “mobile market”. They often bring their farm products to the train to sell.

Basketball, running and swimming are popular events at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let’s see if you have any knowledge about the following events.
Tug-of-war This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals.
Rope climbing It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters, for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing at the Olympics.
Race walking In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they don’t run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter 20-kilometer and 50-kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers.

Soap operas from South Korea have been popular in China for more than twenty years now. So it is not the first time for the soap operas made in China to feel less popular. But this time, they are facing more difficulties, for The Heirs (《继承者们》) and My Love from the Star really made a full success, which even attracted some top officials.
A senior official said he sometimes watched soap operas from South Korea, as well as House of Cards, an American opera about politics. These operas made both in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China.
Many people agree that China’s soap operas can’t be much loved by most Chinese, because they are not as interesting and exciting as those operas from South Korea and America, such as My Love from the Star, a Korean love story between a time traveling professor and a famous movie star.
However, Korean shows not only provide soap operas but also some programmings (综艺节目). Dad, Where Are We Going is not an original Chinese show. We learned it from South Korea although not many in China are aware (意识到) of that fact.
Actually, China has a closer culture with South Korea. Shows from this neighbor seem to do better with their exciting stories on the Cinderella theme (灰姑娘主题). Yet they have created many popular shows whose stories tell there’s no difference between men and women even though in their country men are certain to play a more important role.
96．Most people in China like watching shows made in ________.
A．Europe B．China C．South Korea D．Japan
97．The operas made in China are not as popular as those in South Korea or America, because ________.

B．they are not very interesting and exciting
C．Chinese people are more interested in politics
D．they were only made twenty years ago
98．What does the underlined phrase “play a more important role” mean
A．There’s no difference between women and men.
B．Men like soap operas better than women.
C．Women don’t like the parts played by men.
D．Men are believed to support the families and society more.
The COVID-19 pandemic(新冠肺炎疫情) has made our lives very different. Some of us have changed(改变) our living habits. Some have learned how to cook. And more people have begun to love riding bikes.
Yang Xiaomeng lives 11 km away from her workplace in Beijing. She has been riding to work for the last three months. "I usually took the subway before the COVID-19 outbreak(爆发). But now riding a bike seems to be a good way," she said.
Yang found that cycling is more relaxing and enjoyable than taking the crowded subway. "There's more fresh air on the road. It's also a good way to stay healthy," she said.
Many people began riding bikes during the pandemic. The number of riders on Beijing's bike-only lane(车道) from Huilongguan to Shangdi has gone up by 17.6 percent.
In other cities around the world, biking is also becoming popular. London has closed large parts of the city to cars so that people can ride safely(安全地). New York, Berlin and Montreal have built new and wider bike lanes. These cities believe that if there are safer and more comfortable places for riding, more people will ride bikes in the future instead of driving. This will make the cities greener and cleaner and their people happier and healthier.

Yellowstone National Park is one of the wildest places in the United States. But a few years ago, something very important was missing: wolves! To make things right, the US government（政府）decided to bring wolves back to Yellowstone, and they hope that the coming of wolves would help to stop the number of some animals from growing.
The plan started in 1995, when scientists caught 14 wolves in Canada. Then they took the wolves to Yellowstone and put them into big outdoor cages（笼子）. As soon as the wolves got used to（习惯）their environment, the scientists let them walk freely in the wild.
It seemed that the wolves were quickly making themselves right at home. In a few hours of leaving their cages, the wolves made their first kill. It was an elk—a kind of huge deer and their favorite prey in Canada. Elk lived in Yellowstone for many years without wolves, so their groups become bigger and stronger. But from the time the wolves were free, the wolves would help to stop the number of elk under control.
Life was good for the wolves. Plenty of food meant they could have more babies. During the first year, there were 9 little baby wolves. At the same time, scientists caught 17 more big wolves in Canada and put them into the park again. In the spring of 1997, nine different kinds of wolf groups had 67 babies.
Scientists thought they had to catch and bring more wolves to the park. However, with the wolf number growing so quickly, they decide that this is no more necessary.
6．Why did the US government decide to bring wolves back to Yellowstone
A．Because wolves could make more visitors visit the park.
B．Because wolves would help to stop the number of some animals from growing.
C．Because wolves offered more food to other animals.
D．Because wolves could keep many animals in the park safe.
7．How many baby wolves were born in Yellowstone National Park in the first year

8．According to（根据）the last paragraph, what will the scientists do next
A．Catch more wolves in other countries.
B．Stop bringing wolves to the park.
C． Kill some wolves for other animals.
D．Feed more elk in the park.
9．Why did the writer write the passage
A．To encourage us to keep wolves safe.
B．To explain why people are afraid of wolves.
C．To tell about a successful decision about animals.
D．To show the excitement of wolves coming back.

Have you ever seen a chameleon (变色龙) How large is it Scientists have found a kind of very small chameleon. It is so small that it can sit on your fingertip. Scientists have only found two of them-one male(雄性) and one female.
The scientists from Germany and Madagascar found the new kind of chameleon in the rainforests of Madagascar. It is called Brookesia nana, or B．nana. It is the smallest known adult animal among the world’s over 11,000 reptile species(爬行动物). The rainforest in Madagascar are home to many animals. Before B．nana, the world’s smallest known reptile was another chameleon called Brookesia micra. It grows to be about 2.9 cm long. The female B．nana was about the same size. The male B．nana, however, was much smaller. It is 2.2 cm from head to tail. This is unusual for chameleons, because usually the males are larger than the females. Unlike some other chameleons, B．nana isn’t able to change its colors. The skin(皮肤) of it is a mixture of brown colors.

Is the whale the world’s largest fish No. It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal(哺乳动物). Then what’s the world’s largest fish It’s the whale shark(鲸鲨).
Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in the ocean(海洋) around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.A whale shark is sometimes called a “ gentle giant（温柔的巨人)”. It likes to be alone and doesn’t care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighs 24, 250 pounds and is nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus.
Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, you’ll need to do some math. The whale shark’s teeth are arranged in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw(颌) and around three hundred teeth in each row.
However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew or bite its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills(腮).
For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to the Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish.
Whale sharks do live in the ocean around the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientist continue to learn about these gentle giants.

Layi Aga, 76. broke into a smile when she thought of her first trip by train.
The year was 1970, Layi, from Mianshan Township in Liangshan, Sichuan, walked more than 7 kilometers along mountain roads with her family, hoping to see a train pull into the railway station. At that time, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway just started running and it was the main railway connecting Sichuan and Yunnan. Train stations were built in mountain villages and townships, and Mianshan was one of the stops.
Layi often takes the train between Mianshan and Xichang to make a living. It is about 72 kilometers long. Making a round trip by bus is quicker but it costs 80 yuan. The round trip by slow train takes about three hours, but it only costs 10 yuan. And for Layi and many people like her, the train is not a mode of transportation (交通方式), but also a “mobile market”. They often bring their farm products to the train to sell.
In January this year, a Fuxing bullet train left Liangshan for Kunming. This is the first bullet train from Liangshan. It’s much faster, but the slow trains are still lifelines for many people. They can always offer cheap, safe and comfortable journeys.

Soap operas from South Korea have been popular in China for more than twenty years now. So it is not the first time for the soap operas made in China to feel less popular. But this time, they are facing more difficulties, for The Heirs (《继承者们》) and My Love from the Star really made a full success, which even attracted some top officials.
A senior official said he sometimes watched soap operas from South Korea, as well as House of Cards, an American opera about politics. These operas made both in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China.
Many people agree that China’s soap operas can’t be much loved by most Chinese, because they are not as interesting and exciting as those operas from South Korea and America, such as My Love from the Star, a Korean love story between a time traveling professor and a famous movie star.
However, Korean shows not only provide soap operas but also some programmings (综艺节目). Dad, Where Are We Going is not an original Chinese show. We learned it from South Korea although not many in China are aware (意识到) of that fact.
Actually, China has a closer culture with South Korea. Shows from this neighbor seem to do better with their exciting stories on the Cinderella theme (灰姑娘主题). Yet they have created many popular shows whose stories tell there’s no difference between men and women even though in their country men are certain to play a more important role.
96．Most people in China like watching shows made in ________.

97．The operas made in China are not as popular as those in South Korea or America, because ________.

B．Men like soap operas better than women.
C．Women don’t like the parts played by men.
D．Men are believed to support the families and society more.
