"The facts are obviously a little bit harder for people to bear, but that pack has showed signs of habituation. They just stand there and have no fear. Wolf hunters can easily pick the one they want."     The carefree relation that some Yellowstone wolves have built with humans is reportedly attractive for hunters who look for an easy kill.     In the overnight, yet another famous Yellowstone wolf met a violent end outside the park,‎ ‎ officials are actively rethinking how to manage wildlife habituation.     Smith, a wolf biologist for Yellowstone, says, "Now we're thinking of pounding them," Park officials might use fireworks, and paintball or beanbag guns when they approach humans in the park. "If you get close to people, you're going to get attacked."     If you think this sounds cruel, you're not alone. Seeing these creatures from the roads that wind through the park not only allows tourists to witness something amazing, but also to reconnect with nature in a way that is better than any conservation campaign. But there's a growing sense that the present policy of doing nothing isn't working; more wolves will unnecessarily die and the broken record of hunters scoring easy kills will go on.     As Smith adds, urging people to keep wolves wild when meeting them halfway is a big ask. Still, he's hopeful to preserve the world's best place to observe free-ranging wolves; it's a policy change that tourists can be involved in.     "... perhaps Spitfire's death will accomplish some good, and we'll all come together to do a better job on managing crowds and roads and wolves in Yellowstone, " Smith said.‎ 21. What was the main reason for the death of Spitfire?‎ A. Wildlife habituation. B. Park officials' carelessness. C. The nature of grey wolves. D. The cruelty of the hunter.‎ 22. What does the underlined word "pounding" in paragraph 5 probably mean?‎ A. greeting. B. protecting. C. challenging. D. hitting.‎ 23. What does Smith expect visitors to do in Yellowstone?‎ A. Be more friendly to wolves. B. Avoid meeting grey wolves. C. Keep away from wolves. D. Force wolves away ‎ 24. What is the main idea of the text?‎ A. The wolves in Yellowstone are out of control. B. Illegal wolf-hunting in Yellowstone is going on. C. Yellowstone considers "attacking" wolves to protect them. D. The wolves in Yellowstone are living in harmony with humans.‎ D ‎ You may think that light pollution isn’t something extraordinarily important. You may believe that every other type of pollution has a larger impact on the environment than light pollution does. But light pollution is serious. ‎ ‎ Light pollution, or “sky glow”, is the glow you can see at night above cities and towns. Light pollution is a problem that has been accompanying man ever since he started his first fire some 15,000 years ago. Light pollution is the light that comes from streetlights, buildings, parking lots and any other source of light that is reflected or directed into the atmosphere.‎ ‎ Urban light pollution means that one-fifth of the world’s population can no longer see the Milky Way with the naked eye(肉眼). Many city kids, even if they did look through the orange smog above their heads, would probably see only a handful of stars. We have lost our view of the stars, and we have mucked up our night-time environment as well. Astronomers are calling for the dark places on Earth to be preserved as national parks.‎ ‎ Lots of people find the ever-brightening night annoying, and animals that are programmed to prefer the dark may avoid a brightened habitat. Sea turtles can get lost searching for a beach to lay eggs, and their hatchlings(孵化的幼仔)may confuse over-lit beachfront resorts for the ocean horizon, wasting precious energy needed to find the sea and escape predators(食肉动物). Because their necks aren’t yet long enough to see things far away, baby turtles rely on the mirror image of the moon to guide them to the sea, to begin their new life. A car may even hit a particular turtle, which was thinking the light from a nearby city was moonlight reflecting off the ocean waves. Birds that live in and around cities can die because of sky glow, too. The bright lights can blind them, leading to countless collisions with buildings and other tall structures.‎ On an individual level, people can help reduce much sky glow by using lighting only when necessary. The stars above us are priceless heritage— for not only for astronomers but for all humans. More of our children should be able to look up at night and see the Milk Way.‎ 21. According to Para.2, light pollution_________.‎ A. has existed for nearly a century B. is mainly caused by the light at night C. doesn’t include the light coming from buildings ‎ D. refers to the light only shining directly into the atmosphere 21. The underlined phrase “mucked up” in Para. 3 probably means_________.‎ A. protected B. blamed C. praised D. spoiled 22. To find the sea, baby sea turtles mainly depend on_________.‎ A. the moon B. the ocean waves C. the sky glow D. the mirrors 23. The author mentions the Milk Way in the last paragraph to show that_________.‎ A. light pollution isn’t something important B. the Milk Way can’t be seen with naked eye C. we should take action to reduce light pollution D. most kids are looking forward to seeing the Milk Way 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Rich and Famous ‎ Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher, followed by working in banking and finance, and then medicine. But today's situation is quite different.  (36)   Instead they most commonly say they want to be a sports star, a pop star, or an actor，in other words, they hope to become a celebrity.‎ ‎ According to experts, young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame.   (37)   Let's take athletes and singers as an example. Their careers are short-lived. Many athletes' best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career. The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in. As a result, they'll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control.   (38)   The truth is quite simple: they have been so far removed from it for so long.‎ ‎ In spite of these disadvantages, there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status. They are not satisfied just making a living—they want to be rich and famous.‎ ‎ Globally, more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.   (39)   They unrealistically believe that this lifestyle is easily obtained and leads to great satisfaction.‎ ‎ While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals.   (40)  ​ That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. As a result, many people won't realize their childhood dreams, which could have a negative effect on their happiness.‎ A. The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.‎ B. In many ways this has been brought about by the celebrity culture.‎ C. Unfortunately, they do not always have a positive effect on people's life.‎ D. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.‎ E. People no longer have a sense of satisfaction once their goals have been achieved.‎ F. This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.‎ G. The reason is that they don't realize it takes talent and hard work to be rich and famous.‎ 第三部分：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch.
