阅读理解

    It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.

    Suddenly, I hear it: the howl(嚎叫)of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.

    I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.

    Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy —a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park. As a result, the number of elk (麋鹿)in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves. This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.

    The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.

    The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money. Tourists visit the area, stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.

    Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone. And happily, it is playing a good guy in this story.

(1)、According to the passage, one of a wolf tracker's jobs is to_____________.
A、catch wolves in the park B、feed wolves in the wild C、stop wolves from killing elk D、collect information about wolves
(2)、Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s?
A、The wolves were always howling at night. B、The elk in the park were in danger of dying out. C、The wolves had done great harm to the environment. D、The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around.
(3)、Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the _______ that wolves have brought to Yellowstone.
A、risks B、troubles C、changes D、competitions
(4)、What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A、Wolves are important to Yellowstone. B、Yellowstone has been home to wolves. C、The wolf and the elk live in peace now. D、The number of wolves is growing fast.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

    If you had billions of dollars, would you donate almost all of it to charity? Well, that's what Mark Zuckerburg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.
    Zuckerburg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about $45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.
    Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, an activity in which billionaires promise donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries joined it.
    But giving back and helping others isn't just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg, and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it, too.
    Especially around the holidays, people want to do their part and give back to people who are less lucky than them. Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items, and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless people's homes.
    People also host special events like concerts of runs to be creative while raising money. Regular people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.
    Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education, health and improving the lives of the poor. These individual donations come together to make a big difference.
