Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Wolves once ranged over most of North America. But they were nearly wiped out by the early 20th century in the neighbor US by widespread hunting and trapping. Much of them were funded by government, and only a small population were hanging on in the Great Lakes region. They were put on the Endangered Species List in the
1970s, and in 1995 and 1996 the federal government reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park and Idaho. But wolves still don't have stable numbers in Colorado. Voters narrowly (勉强地) approved a proposal, giving the way for gray wolves to be reintroduced into Colorado, where they nearly died out by the 1940s.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will lead the effort to establish a sustainable (可持续的) population of the animals in the western part of the state, beginning in the future. The Southern Rocky Mountains contain millions of acres of suitable habitat land that could support several hundred wolves or more, biologists say.
Those who were against the proposal admitted they lost, but the vote was close. As of Thursday afternoon, with 90 percent of the votes in, there were 1,495,523 votes for and 1,475,235 against.“Reintroducing wolves will help thin out sick animals, keeping healthy populations of deer, and thus protecting the grass and reducing erosion (土壤侵蚀). ”says Jonathan Proctor.
People in rural areas are against the reintroduction proposal, including farmers, who worry that wolves will kill their cattle. Many don't agree to leave the question of reintroduction to voters.
Supporters point to the successful reintroduction of wolves to the Northern Rockies in the 1990s, where only one in 10, 000 cattle in wolf-occupied counties is killed by the hunters, Proctor says. The Colorado proposal will also fund a program to make up for the farm animals being killed.

In a new study, researchers found that invasive insects in the United States could kill approximately 1.4 million urban trees by 2050, which would cost over $900 million to replace, reports Vishwam Sankaran for The Independent.
Hot spots predicted to have the most urban tree mortality (死亡率) were Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; and New York, New York. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, is the first nationwide forecast of street tree mortality from invasive insects.
The emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle native to Asia. It was first detected in 2002 in southeastern Michigan, and experts suspect it was brought into the United States on wood packing material carried on cargo ships or airplanes traveling from Asia. Since then, the bug has been damaging ash trees. In the last two decades since the insect was first detected, numerous trees have been killed in North America.
Data collected from 30,000 communities across the country was used to estimate tree mortality in the next 30 years. The researchers combined this data with a model that predicted the spread of 57 different invasive insect species. Their results show emerald ash borers alone could cause 90% of the estimated 1.4 million tree deaths. Ash borers are already predicted to “kill virtually all ash trees” in over 6,000 urban areas, according to Newsweek.
Less than 25% of 30,000 urban areas in the U.S. are expected to experience 95% of all street-tree mortality, reports Adam Barnes for the Hill. The areas that will experience the most tree loss include cities in the Midwest and East Coast. These locations are expected to have the most tree loss because large numbers of ash trees occupy the streets and parks in these areas, reported The Independent.
When it comes to how to save urban areas from becoming treeless, study author Emma Hudgins, a biologist at McGill University, says, “These results can hopefully provide a cautionary tale against planting a single species of tree throughout entire cities, as has been done with ash trees in North America. Planting various trees provides resilience against pest infestations (侵扰).”
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道,主要报道了一项研究预测。到2050年,美国城市的树木可能会因为外来昆虫的入侵而死亡140万棵,其中翡翠灰螟可能会导致90%的树木死亡。研究人员建议种植多种树木以抵御害虫的侵扰。
√
5.What can we know about the emerald ash borer
A.It is an invasive beetle in Asia.
B.It was first found by the Michigan people.
C.It has killed numerous trees in America.
D.They definitely enter the U.S. by cargo ships or airplanes.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“Since then ... trees have been killed in North America.”可知,翡翠灰螟已经在美国杀死了大量的树木。故选C。
√
6.What is the fourth paragraph intended to describe
A.The purpose of the research.
B.The conclusion of the research.
C.The significance of the research.
D.The process and result of the research.
解析:段落大意题。根据第四段“The researchers combined this data with a model that predicted the spread of 57 ... could cause 90% of the estimated 1.4 million tree deaths.”可知,这一段描述了研究的过程和结果。故选D。
√
7.What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph
A.Pest infestations are taking place across the country.
B.The insect's invasion won't spread equally in America.
C.Tree loss is the main cause of environmental problems.
D.Ash trees are being removed from many areas in the U.S.
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段“Less than 25% of 30,000 urban areas in the U.S. are expected to experience 95% ... tree loss include cities in the Midwest and East Coast.”可知,这种昆虫的入侵在美国的传播并不均衡。故选B。
√
8.What suggestion does Emma Hudgins provide
A.Getting different types of trees planted.
B.Replacing foreign trees with local ones.
C.Getting more trees planted in more areas.
D.Planting trees resistant to pest infestations.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段“Planting various trees provides resilience against pest infestations(侵扰).”可知,Emma Hudgins给出了种植不同种类的树木的建议,故选A。

So I wrote a children's book, Have You Seen A Tree For Me?, which I hope will help them understand we've got to 20 our beloved wildlife.
There are lots of 21 things kids can do to start helping now: Keep dogs and cats locked away from wildlife, plant a tree that will encourage native animals to visit and 22 your family to drive slowly in wildlife habitats and areas. That might only sound 23 , but if we all do this, it can make a big difference.

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Wolves once ranged over most of North America. But they were nearly wiped out by the early 20th century in the neighbor US by widespread hunting and trapping. Much of them were funded by government, and only a small population were hanging on in the Great Lakes region. They were put on the Endangered Species List in the 1970s, and in 1995 and 1996 the federal government reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park and Idaho. But wolves still don't have stable numbers in Colorado. Voters narrowly (勉强地) approved a proposal, giving the way for gray wolves to be reintroduced into Colorado, where they nearly died out by the 1940s.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife will lead the effort to establish a sustainable (可持续的) population of the animals in the western part of the state, beginning in the future. The Southern Rocky Mountains contain millions of acres of suitable habitat land that could support several hundred wolves or more, biologists say.
Those who were against the proposal admitted they lost, but the vote was close. As of Thursday afternoon, with 90 percent of the votes in, there were 1,495,523 votes for and 1,475,235 against.“Reintroducing wolves will help thin out sick animals, keeping healthy populations of deer, and thus protecting the grass and reducing erosion (土壤侵蚀).” says Jonathan Proctor.
People in rural areas are against the reintroduction proposal, including farmers, who worry that wolves will kill their cattle. Many don't agree to leave the question of reintroduction to voters.
Supporters point to the successful reintroduction of wolves to the Northern Rockies in the 1990s, where only one in 10, 000 cattle in wolf occupied counties is killed by the hunters, Proctor says. The Colorado proposal will also fund a program to make up for the farm animals being killed.
1.What's the function of paragraph 1
A.Finding typical examples.
B.Introducing wildlife research.
C.Giving the reason for the proposal.
D.Discussing the numbers about migration.
2.Why are the local farmers against the reintroduction proposal
A.They kill their cattle.
B.It causes erosion.
C.They reduce sick animals.
D.It protects the grass.
3.What is the purpose of reintroducing wolves
A.To increase the farmers' interests.
B.To keep Colorado's natural balance.
C.To contribute to gradual soil erosion.
D.To cause concern about the climate change.
4.What will the local farmers get from the proposal
A.Suggestions from biologists.
B.Extra fund for losing farm animals.
C.Knowledge of raising farm animals.
D.The right to reclaim their valuable land.

In a new study, researchers found that invasive insects in the United States could kill approximately 1.4 million urban trees by 2050, which would cost over $900 million to replace, reports Vishwam Sankaran for The Independent.
Hot spots predicted to have the most urban tree mortality (死亡率) were Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; and New York, New York. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, is the first nationwide forecast of street tree mortality from invasive insects.
The emerald ash borer is an invasive beetle native to Asia. It was first detected in 2002 in southeastern Michigan, and experts suspect it was brought into the United States on wood packing material carried on cargo ships or airplanes traveling from Asia. Since then, the bug has been damaging ash trees. In the last two decades since the insect was first detected, numerous trees have been killed in North America.
Data collected from 30,000 communities across the country was used to estimate tree mortality in the next 30 years. The researchers combined this data with a model that predicted the spread of 57 different invasive insect species. Their results show emerald ash borers alone could cause 90% of the estimated 1.4 million tree deaths. Ash borers are already predicted to “kill virtually all ash trees” in over 6,000 urban areas, according to Newsweek.
Less than 25% of 30,000 urban areas in the U.S. are expected to experience 95% of all street tree mortality, reports Adam Barnes for the Hill. The areas that will experience the most tree loss include cities in the Midwest and East Coast. These locations are expected to have the most tree loss because large numbers of ash trees occupy the streets and parks in these areas, reported The Independent.
When it comes to how to save urban areas from becoming treeless, study author Emma Hudgins, a biologist at McGill University, says, “These results can hopefully provide a cautionary tale against planting a single species of tree throughout entire cities, as has been done with ash trees in North America. Planting various trees provides resilience against pest infestations (侵扰).”

Ⅲ.主题微写作
There is no doubt that animals are our friends. What should we do to protect them First of all, we should forbid people's killing animals at random. Second, we should do all we can to protect animals' living environment. With their living environment destroyed, the animals will become extinct sooner or later. Third, we should try our best to make everyone realise the importance of protecting animals. In a way, protecting animals means protecting ourselves!
