Gray wolves have lived inNorth Americafor at least half a million years. Their living areas once included most

of the continentalUnited States. But during the 1800s and early 1900s, wolves were hunted to near extinction(灭绝).By the 1960s, theU. S.wolf population was limited to a handful of creatures in small comers of the

northernMidwest.

Then, in 1973, a law, the ESA, was passed to protect animals from becoming extinct. Gray wolves were one of

the first animals placed on the endangered-species(濒危物种)list. Killing them wasillicit. And theU. ernment

worked to promote their protection. In a famous example of this effort, starting in 1995, 31 wolves were moved

fromCanadatoYellowstoneNational Park. By 2015, more than 500 gray wolves were living in the Greater

Yellowstone Ecosystem(生态系统).Today, the continentalU. S.is home to more than 6,000 gray wolves. On January

4, 2021, theU. ernment removed gray wolves from the endangered-species list.

Usually, an animal's removal would be cause for celebration. But some environmental protectors say the

wolves still need protection. In some parts of the country, wolves are increasing in numbers. More than a

thousand of them can be found just inMichiganandWisconsin. But overall, their range is still a small part of what it

was. Wolves used to live across most of the U. S. Now they , are found in fewer than a dozen states. Others argue

that as long as a species is not in danger of extinction, it doesn't belong on the endangered-species list. And

farmers with land near wolf living areas say that if the wolf's population continues to grow, more of their farm

animals will be killed by wolves.

But some protection groups worry that without protection, the wolf population will crash again. They hope that no matter what, people and wolves can get along peacefully with each other. They are promoting ways to

make that happen.

4. What caused gray wolves to be almost extinct?

A. Losing their living areas. B. Too many natural enemies.

C. The extreme climate changes. D. Being hunted in great numbers.

5. What does the underlined word "illicit" in paragraph 2 mean?
