After years f heated debate, gray wlves were reintrduced t Yellwstne Natinal Park. Furteen wlves were caught in Canada and transprted t the park. By last year, the Yellwstne wlf ppulatin had grwn t mre than 170 wlves.
Gray wlves nce were seen here and there in the Yellwstne area and much f the cntinental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human develpment. By the 1920s, wlves had practically disappeared frm the Yellwstne area. They went farther nrth int the deep frests f Canada, where there were fewer humans arund.
The disappearance f the wlves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk ppulatins — majr fd surces (来源) fr the wlf — grew rapidly. These animals cnsumed large amunts f vegetatin (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence f wlves, cyte ppulatins als grew quickly. The cytes killed a large percentage f the park’s red fxes, and cmpletely drve away the park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, bilgists asked the gvernment t cnsider reintrducing wlves t Yellwstne Park. They hped that wlves wuld be able t cntrl the elk and cyte prblems. Many farmers ppsed the plan because they feared that wlves wuld kill their farm animals r pets.
The gvernment spent nearly 30 years cming up with a plan t reintrduce the wlvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully mnitrs and manages the wlf packs in Yellwstne. Tday, the debate cntinues ver hw well the gray wlf is fitting in at Yellwstne. Elk, deer, and cyte ppulatins are dwn, while beavers and red fxes have made a cmeback. The Yellwstne wlf prject has been a valuable experiment t help bilgists decide whether t reintrduce wlves t ther parts f the cuntry as well.

When yur alarm clck rings and yu drag yurself ut f bed, yu prbably wnder: Why n earth des schl have t start s early?
Frtunately, there is a new law t back yu up — r better still, science.
A law in Califrnia, passed n Oct 13, requires that public middle schls begin classes n earlier than 8:00 am and that high schls start n earlier than 8:30 am. The law will g int effect by Nvember 1, 2022.
Starting schl at 8:00 r 8:30 in the mrning may nt sund like t big f a change, but it culd mean ne mre hur f sleep fr students wh used t start schl at 7:30 r even earlier.
“The effect f that ne hur is smething they will be feeling as 40-year-ld adults,” Sumit Bhargava, a sleep expert at Stanfrd University, tld The New Yrk Times. He said that nt having enugh sleep can affect students’ mental health and increase the risk f being verweight and diabetes (糖尿病).
In the shrt run, students’ schl perfrmances shuld imprve almst immediately. Kyla Wahlstrm, a researcher at the University f Minnesta’s Cllege f Educatin, fund that students wh have enugh sleep are alert in class and get much mre satisfying grades.
Sme might say that asking students t g t bed earlier culd have been a much easier slutin than changing the schl timetable acrss an entire state. But accrding t the American Academy f Sleep Medicine, teenagers g thrugh bilgical changes when they enter puberty (青春期), which makes it difficult fr them t fall asleep befre 11:00 pm. S when schl starts at 8:00 r earlier, they can hardly get the ideal 8.5 - 9.5 hurs f sleep that experts suggest they need t d their best in the daytime.
This is why when the new law came ut, its authr, Anthny Prtantin, said, “Generatins f children will cme t appreciate this histric day and ur gvernr fr taking actin.”
1. Which f the fllwing is TRUE abut the law?
2. What can we learn frm Bhargava’s wrds?
3. What des the underlined wrd “alert” in Paragraph 6 prbably mean?
4. What’s the text mainly abut?

Accrding t the Slar Energy Industry Assciatin, the number f slar panels installed(安装)has grwn rapidly in the past decade, and it has t grw even faster t meet climate gals. But all f that grwth will take up a lt f space, and thugh mre and mre peple accept the cncept f slar energy, few like large slar panels t be installed near them.
Slar develpers want t put up panels as quickly and cheaply as pssible, s they haven’t given much thught t what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stnes and using chemicals t cntrl weeds. The result is that many cmmunities, especially in farming regins, see slar farms as destryers f the sil.
“Slar prjects need t be gd neighbrs,” says Jrdan Macknick, the head f the Innvative Site Preparatin and Impact Reductins n the Envirnment(InSPIRE)prject. “They need t be prtectrs f the land and cntribute t the agricultural ecnmy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical appraches t “lw-impact” slar develpment, which fcuses n establishing and perating slar farms in a way that is kinder t the land. One f the easiest lw-impact slar strategies is prviding habitat fr pllinatrs(传粉昆虫).
Habitat lss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pllinatr ppulatins ver the past cuple f decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural ecnmy. Over 28 states have passed laws related t pllinatr habitat prtectin and pesticide use. Cnservatin rganizatins put ut pllinatr-friendliness guidelines fr hme gardens, businesses, schls, cities—and nw there are guidelines fr slar farms.
Over the past few years, many slar farm develpers have transfrmed the space under their slar panels int a shelter fr varius kinds f pllinatrs, resulting in sil imprvement and carbn reductin. “These pllinatr-friendly slar farms can have a valuable impact n everything that’s ging n in the landscape,” says Macknick.
1. What d slar develpers ften ignre?
2. What des InSPIRE aim t d?
3. What is the purpse f the laws mentined in paragraph 4?
4. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?

It was a sunny afternn in June f 2022 when 20-year-ld Anthny Perry stepped ff the train at Chicag’s 69th Street statin. On the platfrm, tw men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell ver the edge and nt the tracks. One man ended up n his back. Suddenly, he started cnvulsing (抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen n the third rail, the cnduit (导线管) fr the 600 vlts f electricity that pwers Chicag’s L trains. The aggressr leaped backward, bunded back up nt the platfrm and disappeared.
Perry culdn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge f the platfrm and eased himself dwn. He tk a few quick bunds and apprached the victim. The guy lked dead, his bdy still mving vilently as the electricity pulsed (搏动). Gathering up his curage, Perry reached dwn and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast f electric shck sht thrugh his bdy. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached dwn a secnd time, and was shcked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and frearm and, braving the shck, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s bdy slid briefly alng the third rail, cming t rest n the gravel n the uter edge f the tracks.
The man was breathing, but irregularly. Smething wasn’t right. “Give him chest cmpressins (按压)!” yelled a wman. Perry was n expert, but fr a few mments he wrked n the man’s heart until the victim began cnvulsing. Then he heard a sudden nise behind him — medical wrkers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the prfessinals take ver. His heart still racing frm the electric shcks, he climbed back up nt the platfrm, grabbed his things and headed hme.
The evening news reprted the incident. After a friend uted him t the media, Perry became the tast f Chicag. Perry was then recruited by the Chicag Fire Department and is nw training t be an emergency medical technician.
1. What made the rescue f the victim particularly difficult?
2. What can be inferred abut Perry accrding t paragraphs 3—4?
3. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
4. What is the authr’s main purpse f writing the text?

There have been a lt f cmments recently surrunding 5G, the next generatin f wireless technlgy. 1 ? Hw might it change ur lives?
5G stands fr fifth generatin, meaning the next step in the prgressin f technlgy t replace the current 4G system. Earlier “G” systems were designed t imprve mbile cmmunicatin peratins. Each new technlgy brught majr imprvements in speed and greatly increased netwrk capacity (容量). 2 It is expected t permit mre users t d mre things at a faster rate.
Hwever, technlgy experts say there is a majr way that 5G is different frm the earlier systems. 3 It will affect many mre devices and industries than ther “G” versins.
5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by cnnecting sensr netwrks. 5G is als expected t cnnect self-driving cars and supprt new technlgies invlving virtual reality (虚拟现实). Higher 5G speeds culd als permit dctrs t cmmnly perfrm remte medical peratins. Factries and businesses culd use 5G technlgy t increase autmatin and imprve the cllectin f infrmatin.
4 The increased data flw acrss 5G netwrks wuld give Internet attackers a lt mre pssibilities t steal and misuse data. In additin, the wider use f a 5G wireless netwrk means any breakdwn f the system wuld have mre widespread and severe results. Such difficulties culd affect public safety. 5 , r a netwrk breakdwn culd cause self-driving vehicles t crash.

I must admit, I haven’t always liked animals. In fact, I distrusted them greatly while grwing up, and I still fear the nes I dn’t knw persnally. What set my beliefs in stne was being attacked—nt nce but many times, including the summer after secnd grade when I was bitten by a rabbit. Then, when I was nine and riding my dirt bike dwn the rad, a large dg charged me and tried t bite my ankle. After all thse negative experiences, there was ne thing I knew fr sure: All creatures, great and small, were n friends f mine.
After cllege in Califrnia, I returned t live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In n time at all, we fell in lve, married and mved int a new huse. Despite my avidance f animals, Lisa had a dg called Bailey. Bailey didn’t like me, but he tlerated my existence nce he realized I wasn’t ging anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcmed a new member f ur family: ur sn Evan. One evening Evan grabbed hld f the dg’s tail. The irritated dg paused and turned t lk at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released. Still the stries I’d heard f animals attacking babies wrries me.
Then my wrst fear ccurred. I sat n the cuch (沙发) reading after a lng day while my wife wrked at the dining-rm table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl acrss the family-rm carpet as he made his way behind the cuch. One minute, all was quiet and then Bailey entered the rm and headed t where Evan had crawled. I nearly jumped ut f my skin when I heard the dg start a fearful barking behind me.
