Part II Reading Comprehension ( 40 points)Directions: After reading each following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 16 through 30. For each question there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn the late 1990s scientists began to notice changes in Yellowstone National Park. Trees that had stopped growing for years began to grow again. Animals started behaving differently. Scientists believe it is the wolves that have caused these changes.Wolves used to live in Yellowstone. But many people thought wolves would kill animals kept farms, such as cows and sheep, and they would harm crops, too. In 1926 the last wolf in Yellowstone was killed.For the next 70 years Yellowstone did not have any wolves. Scientists decided to bring them back to the area in 1995. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service brought in 15 gray wolves from Canada. Today between 250 and 300 wolves live in Yellowstone and they have already left their mark. Wolves have been hunting and eating elk. The elk leftovers provide food for animals such as bears. With fewer elk, plants can grow better and taller. This new plant growth provides more trees for birds and more plant food for beavers. The number of beavers in northern Yellowstone has increased greatly since wolves were reintroduced.Wolves have such a big effect on Yellowstone because they are a keystone species. Keystone species are species on which a large number of other plants and animals depend. The removal of a keystone species can lead to the death of other species.However, not everyone is happy with the wolves return. Farmers want to limit the number of wolves in the area, because if there are too many wolves, they may have not only their cows and sheep killed by wolves, but also their cats, dogs, and horses.Still, many scientists believe that Yellowstone is starting to look more like it did before people began to kill wolves there.16. which of the following is true according to the passage _. A. Wolves have played an important role in Yellowstone for 70 years.B. Wolves in Yellowstone had all been killed by mid-1920s. C. Yellowstone had no wolves at the beginning of the 20th century. D. Yellowstone can hold no more than 300 wolves today.17. The sentence “they have already left their mark” most probably means in the passage _. A. they have brought about changes to Yellowstone. B. they have made marks where they can get food C. they have left a lot of footprints in the park D. they have marked out the areas of their own18. What is the immediate change after the 15 wolves were brought in? _. A. Plants grow taller and better.B. Beavers have increased greatly. C. The number of elk is reduced. D. Cows and sheep are killed on farms.19. It seems to be a wise decision to have brought wolves back to Yellowstone because _A. wolves can depend on themselves to find foodB. a national park should introduce foreign animalsC. a national park should have different kinds of animals D. wolves are necessary for many other animals and plants to live. 20. The passage is mainly about _.A. changes in Yellowstone National Park B. environment protection C. wolves control in Yellowstone National Park D. elk control in Yellowstone National ParkPassage TwoThere are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals are built on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static（静态） thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.21. Our long-term goals mean a lot _. A. if we complete our short-range goals B .if we cannot reach solid short-term goals C. if we write down the dates D. if we put forward some plans22.New short-term goals are built upon _.

A. we should stick to them until we complete them B. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunities C. we had better wait for the exciting news of success D. we have made great decision25.It is implied but not stated in the passage that _. A. those who have long-term goals will succeed B. writing down the dates may discourage you C. the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destination D. every should have a goalPassage ThreeNo one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She.? Yes, she. Did you know that only the female mosquito bites? Well, its true. And its not because she is unfriendly; she needs blood to reproduce. But why? Why did nature bother to create mosquitoes? Just to annoy us? Probably that wasnt the main reason.
