But all those things failed to bring relief to my pain inside.But one afternoon in October 2021, I walked out of one store with something more valuable than anything money could buy. I found hope in the unlike liest place after months of hopelessness, thanks to a woman who decided to start a conversation with me in the store’s café.It had been a painful time for me. Married a little over four years, I had suffered five heartbreaking miscarriages (流产) and, at 42, was slowly accepting the cruel idea that I might never be able to have a child.On that fateful day, an elegantly dressed, slightly older woman seated beside me offered to share the photos and stories of her daughter to break the silence in the half-empty café. Her Chinese girl was about seven years old.“She’s pretty,” I said. “But what made you decide to adopt her?” I asked, uncertain whether I had stepped into an area which seemed too personal. “I don’t want work to be my whole life,” she said. I wasn’t sure whether she saw the tears welling up in my eyes as I replied, “I don’t either, but I’m afraid it’s too late!” “I was 51 when I adopted Melanie,” she said, “And it’s the most rewarding and exciting thing I’ve ever done.”When our checks came, she handed me her business card, and I finally learned her name — and in that minute, I saw a happier and more satisfied myself, a reborn “mother-to-be”. 4．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1?A．She cared about her appearance too much.B．She lacked enough confidence in herself.C．She failed to buy happiness with money.D．She liked shopping more than anything else.5．What did the older woman intend to do when talking with the author?A．Advise the author to forget her pain.B．Share her feelings of being an adoptive mother.C．Show off her beautiful daughter to the author.D．Advertise the benefits of adopting a Chinese girl.6．Which of the following best describes the older woman?A．Inspiring.B．Patient.C．Outgoing.D．Responsible. 7．Why did the author see a happier self after the encounter?A．She could adopt children because she was still young.B．The older woman set an example as a good mother.C．She realized life was more important than work.D．Her hope of owning a child was built up again.Book reviews can be a great foot in the door if you’re looking to get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews about books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writing career.Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book you’re reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary though, because if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it won’t be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesn't give too much away. You don’t want to tell your reader everything about the book, because then they won’t have to read it at all. Just give enough information so your reader is interested in reading the book.Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective. This means that they want a review of the book that doesn't share your opinion and that in which youropinion isn't obvious from reading what you wrote. If you hated a book, it might not be a great book to review.You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you include a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or criticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and forming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it pertains to their readership.Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writer’s style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writer’s style and write about them intelligently.8．What’s the first paragraph mainly about?A．Standards of good book reviews.B．Benefits of writing book reviews.C．Ways to get your writing published.D．Topics usually discussed in magazines.9．Which of the following is a characteristic of a good book review?A．Including much information on a major point of the book.B．Stating clearly the writer’s opinion of the book.C．Giving a brief summary of the book.D．Avoiding describing the book.10．The underlined word “lens” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by ________. A．channel B．glasses C．ways D．equipment 11．According to the text, only a skilled writer can ________.A．look at a book through a specific angleB．give an objective description of a bookC．find a book and understand its plot easilyD．pay close attention to another writer’s styleThe Joy of AbsenceHow some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)?RONALD REAGAN famously joked that “it’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” Beyond a certain level, extra e ffort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employees’ productivity declines sharply.But that doesn’t stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week, as a “great opportunity”. Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.There will be days when you do not have much to do; perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5 p.m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you slave to make bosses think that you are. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reduced productivity, this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time. Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.Turning an office into a prison, with inmates (囚犯) allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh. 12．Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan’s joke in Paragraph 1?A．To encourage people to work hard.B．To show that hard work is harmless.C．To introduce the topic of the passage.D．To praise Ronald Reagan’s joking skills.13．What is the meaning of the underlined sentence?A．Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.B．With extra effort, we can defeat anybody.C．We should say no to extra effort.D．Extra effort isn’t necessarily helpful.14．According to the passage, which situation is helpful to a company?A．All workers follow the 996 model praised by Jack Ma.B．Employees don’t go home until their boss does.C．Workers have a brief meeting to discuss an urgency.D．Workers keep working when they are sick.15．Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage?A．Some managers have workers tied to their desks with a chain.B．Reduced productivity means greater medical expenses for employers.C．A prison-like office doesn’t inspire creativity.D．Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.二、七选五The world is designed for right-handed people, but why does a tenth of the population prefer the left? ___16___The answer to it remains a bit of a mystery. Since scientists have noticed thatleft-handedness tends to run in families, it’s assumed that left-handedness has a genetic(基因的) component to it.___17___ In fact, identical twins, who share the same genes, can sometimes prefer to use different hands. There are also plenty of theories on what else might determine which hand you write with, but many experts believe that it’s kind of random.Historically, the left side and left-handedness have been considered a negative thing by many cultures. ___18___ In some areas, the left hand became known as the “unclean” hand.In many religions, the right hand of God is the favored hand. For example, Jesus sits at God’s right side. God’s left hand, however, is the hand of judgment. Various activities and experiences become rude or even signs of bad luck when the left hand becomes involved. In some parts of Scotland, it is considered bad luck to meet a left-handed person at the start of a journey. ___19___A person giving directions will put their left hand behind them and even physically try to point with their right hand if necessary. In some Asian countries, eating with the left hand is considered impolite.___20___People come to realize that left-handedness is natural. Some researchers find out that lefties are more creative and can deal with abstract thinking better. Theleft-handedness is more easily adaptable to the right-handed world as well. Being left-handed is no longer a sad story now; instead, it is a wonderful gift or maybe it is something you should take pride in.A．In other words, left-handers are born that way.B．Left-handedness used to be regarded as a disability.C．The unfavorable associations of the use of the left hand among cultures are varied. D．Why do they prefer to use their left hand rather than their right hand for routine activities? E．Why do some parents force their left-handed children to become right-handed when writing?F．In Ghana, pointing, gesturing, giving or receiving items with the left hand is considered rude.G．Fortunately, nowadays most societies and cultures no longer reject left-handedness like before.三、完形填空Christina Parra brushed her cane(手杖) across the carpet at the entrance to Walgreens.

2024-2025学年四川省成都市第七中学高二上学期期中考试英语试卷Are you dreaming of overcoming Mount Kilimanjaro, but not sure which route to take? Here’s an overview of four Kilimanjaro routes for you.Marangu RouteThe Marangu Route, also known as the “Coca-Cola Route”, is distinguished by its cottage accommodations and is a popular choice for climbers aiming to reach the top of Kilimanjaro.Providing a more comfortable option compared to camping, these simple cottages offer basic facilities and can be a welcoming sight after a day of challenging hiking.Machame RouteThe Machame Route, often referred to as the “Whiskey Route”, is famous for its splendid landscapes and challenging summit (顶峰) night that tests climbers’determination and tolerance.The night before the summit push, is a laborious test, characterized by sharp, rocky terrain (地形) and freezing temperatures, where climbers rely on their mental strength and physical preparedness to overcome the final barriers to Uhuru Peak.Lemosho RouteThe Lemosho Route offers breathtaking scenic views and owns one of the highest summit success rates among the Kilimanjaro routes, making it a favorite among climbers.What sets the Lemosho Route apart is its gradual ascent (上升) profile, allowing climbers to accustom effectively and increase their chances of reaching the summit successfully.Rongai RouteThe Rongai Rout e provides a quiet hiking experience, allowing climbers to adapt gradually while impressing themse lves with the untouched wilderness of Kilimanjaro’s northern side.Adaptation becomes more manageable due to the route’s gentle ascent, allowing climbers to adjust to the increasing height comfortably. The unique advantage of this path is its relatively lower traffic, providing a peaceful experience in harmony with nature’s patterns.1. What makes Marangu Route special?A．The accommodations.

D．Strong willpower.3. What do the last two routes have in common?A．They have lower traffic. B．They offer vast wilderness.C．They are easier to adapt to. D．They are planned for the old.I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground.I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear that my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely.As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullyi ng at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my scienc e classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments on rats to study depression.At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was c ompletely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph. D.I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t th e barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the d ata in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.4. What was the author’s dream?A．To live a normal life. B．To become a scientist.C．To get a master’s degree.D．To recover from depression.5. Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 2?A．Because he didn’t lose the function of both hands.B．Because he learned how to walk at the age of one.C．Because his family could afford to see good doctors.D．Becau se his brain damage didn’t affect his intelligence.6. What can you learn from the passage?A．The team in the lab urged him to further his study.B．The author finally finished the lab tasks on his own.C．The author’s experience inspired him to help others.D．The author’s loneliness led him to the world of biology.7. What message does the author want to express?A．Loving yourself makes a difference.B．Opportunity follows prepared people.C．A bright future begins with a small dream.D．The sun somehow shines through the storm.Faced with an attempt by a new chatbot to imitate (模仿) his own songs, the musician Nick Cave delivered a strong response: it was “an absolutely horrible attempt”. He understood that AI was in its babyhood, but could only co nclude that the true horror might be that “it will forever be in its babyhood”. While a robot might one day be able to create a song, he wrote, it would never grow beyond “a kind of burlesque (滑稽的模仿)”, because robots-being composed of data-are unable to suffer, while songs arise out of suffering.Fans of Cave and his band will agree that his music is inimitable, but that doesn’t mean they would necessarily be able to tell the difference. A few days before Cave’s remarks, experts were asked to distinguish between four genuine artworks and their AI imitations. Their conclusions were wrong five times out of 12, and they were only unitedly right in one of the four picture comparisons. These are party games, but they point to an unfolding challenge that must be managed as a matter of urgency because, like it or not, AI art is upon us. The arrival of the human-impersonating ChatGPT might have increased general awareness, but artists across a wide range of disciplines are already exploring its potential, with the da ncer Wayne McGregor and London’s Young Vic Theatre among those who have created AI-based works.A strongly-worded report from Communications and Digital Committee (CDC) issued a wake-up call to the government, urging it to raise its game in educating future generations of tech-savvy professionals, and tackling key regulatory challenges. These included reviewing reforms to intellectual property law, strengthening the rights of performers and artists, and taking action to support the creative sector in adapting to the disturbances caused by swift and stormy technological change.While developing AI is important, it should not be pursued at all costs, the CDC stressed. It deplored the failure of the Department for Digital, Culture, and Media to offer a defence against proposed changes to intellectual property law that would give copyright exemption (版权豁免) to any work, anywhere in the world, involving AI text and data mining.The challenges of AI are both philosophical, as Cave suggested, and practical. They will unfold over the short and long term. State-of-the-art creative industries have a key role to play in shaping andexploring the philosophical ones, but they must have the practical help they require to survive and be successful. They need it now.8. Why does the author mention the four picture comparisons in Paragraph 2?A．To stress the similarities between AI art and human art.B．To argue that human art will be replaced by AI art.C．To prove AI is stretching the boundaries of art.D．To imply AI art cannot be underestimated.9. What does the underlined word “deplored” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A．Clearly analyzed. B．Bravely suffered.C．Strongly criticized. D．Accurately perceived.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A．Some artists see AI as a tool even though it is a threat.B．Creative industries are responsible for causing the AI problem.C．Tech professionals need more training to better understand AI art.D．The quality of AI art dismisses concerns about intellectual property.11. Which would be the best title for the passage?A．The Creative Thief: AI Makes Perfect ArtB．AI in Art: A Battle That Must Be FoughtC．Threat or Opportunity: The Impact of AI on ArtD．The Rise of AI Art: What It Means to Human ArtistsThat dinosaurs ate the mammals that ran beneath their feet is not in doubt. Now an extraordinary fossil newly described in Scientific Reports, unearthed by a team led by Gang Han at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology in China, shows that sometimes the tables were turned.The fossil - dated to about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period-was formed when a flow of boiling volcanic mud swallowed two animals seemingly locked in a life-and-death fight. The one on top is a mammal. The other animal is a herbivorous species closely related to the Triceratops (三角恐龙). Animal interactions such as this are exceptionally rare in the fossil record.One possibility is that the mammal was eating something already dead, rather than hunting live prey. These days it is uncommon for small mammals to attack much larger animals. But it is not unheard of. And Dr. Han and his colleagues point out that those mammals which eat dead bodies typically leave tooth marks all over the bones of the animals. The dinosaur’s rem ains show no such marks.There is also a chance the fossil could be a fake. More and more convincing fakes have emerged, as this one did — though Dr. Han and his colleagues argue that the complex and tangled nature of the skeletons (骨骼) makes that unlikely, too.Assuming it is genuine, the discovery serves as a reminder that not all dinosaurs were enormous during the Cretaceous and not all mammals were tiny. From nose to tail, the dinosaur is just 1.2 meters long. The mammal is a bit under half a meter in length. Despite being half the size, the mammal has one pa w firmly wrapped around one of its prey’s limbs, and another pulling on its jaw. It is biting down on the dinosaur’s chest, and has ripped off two of its ribs. Before they were interrupted, it seems that the mammal was winning.12. What does the author imply in Paragraph 1?A．The fittest survives. B．The hunters become hunted.C．All dinosaurs ate mammals. D．The truth always comes to light.13. Why does the author mention the “tooth mark” in Paragraph 3?A．To prove the fossil was fake.B．To show the forming of the fossil.C．To illustrate the process of hunting.D．To suggest the dinosaur was hunted alive.14. What makes Dr. Han think the fossil is genuine?A．The size of the fossil.B．The absence of fake fossils.C．The agreement of the opinions.D．The complexity of the skeletons.15. What is the function of the last paragraph?A．It offers a likely cause.B．It highlights a solution.C．It justifies the discovery.D．It provides a new discovery.If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. 16The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 17 We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. 18 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.19 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.20 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature.

But it turned out that the team was _________ full of attacking players and what it needed was someone to _________ on defense. Unwillingly, I decided to take that role, but didn’t expect the _________ was to make all the difference to me later.One day, when we were _________ a game against the Bucks, I was called out by the coach, Milwaukee, who gave me the _________ to guard our court.

①人们常说“小说是讲故事的艺术”，但故事不等于小说，故事讲述人与小说家也不能混为一谈。
就传统而言，讲故事的人讲述亲身经历或道听途说的故事，口耳相传，把它们转化为听众的经验；小说家则通常记录见闻传说，虚构故事，经过艺术处理，把它们变成小说交给读者。
②除流传形式上的简单差异外，早期小说和故事的本质区别并不明显，经历和见闻是它们的共同要素。
在传媒较为落后的过去，作为远行者的商人和水手最适合充当故事讲述人的角色，故事的丰富程度与远行者的游历成正比。
受此影响，国外古典小说也常以人物的经历为主线组织故事。
《荷马史诗》《一千零一夜》都是描述某种特殊的经历和遭遇，《堂吉诃德》中的故事是堂吉诃德的行侠奇遇和所见所闻，17世纪欧洲的流浪汉小说也体现为游历见闻的连缀。
在中国，民间传说和历史故事为志怪类和史传类的小说提供了用之不竭的素材，话本等古典小说形式也显示出小说和传统故事的亲密关系。
③虚构的加强使小说和传统故事之间的区别清晰起来。
小说中的故事可以来自想象，不一定是作者亲历亲闻。
小说家常闭门构思，作品大多诞生于他们离群索居的时候，小说家可以闲坐在布宜诺斯艾利斯的图书馆中，或者在巴黎一间终年不见阳光的阁楼里，杜撰他们想象中的历险故事。
但是，一名水手也许要历尽千辛万苦才能把在东印度群岛听到的故事带回伦敦；一个匠人漂泊一生，积攒下无数的见闻、掌故和趣事，当他晚年坐在火炉旁给孩子们讲述这一切的时候，他本人就是故事的一部分。
传统故事是否值得转述，往往只取决于故事本身的趣味性和可流传性。

They build their homes about 4.6m above the river, an important feature (特征) for the safety of the young. It is called the hoatzin. ? In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back and cream and red on the underside. The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the top, bright red eyes, and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos. Its most striking feature, though, is only found in the young. ? Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws, together with the beak (喙), they can climb about in the bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done. When the young hoatzins have learned to fly, they lose their claws. ? During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April, when the rainy season begins, they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes. 56．What is the text mainly about? A．Primitive birds and hoatzins of the Amazon.B．The appearance and living habits of hoatzins. ? C．Hoatzins in dry and rainy seasons. D．The relatives and enemies of hoatzins. ．Young hoatzins are different from their parents in that_________?． ? A．they eat a lot like a cow ? B．they live on river banks ? C．they look like young cuckoos D．they have claws on the wings ．What can we infer about primitive birds from the text? A．They had four wings like hoatzins. B．They had a head with long feathers on the top. C．They had claws to help them climb. D．They could fly long distances. ．Why do hoatzins collect together in smaller groups when the rainy season comes? ? A．To keep themselves warm. B．To produce their young. C．To find more food. D．To protect themselves better.B Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book,“Versed”. “I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout. “For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.” Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think. In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.” “This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.” The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD. “Versed”, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May. 60. According to Rae Armantrout, ____________. A. the media is surprised at her works B. she likes being recognized by her readers C. her 10th book is much better D. her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected 61. What can we learn about “Versed”?A. It is a book published two decades ago.B. It partly concerns the poet’s own life.C. It consists of three parts.D. It is mainly about the American army. 62. Rae Armantrout’s colleagues think that she ____________.A. deserves the prizeB. is a strange professorC. should write moreD. has a sweet voice 63. What can we learn from the text? A. Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD. B. “Versed” has been awarded twice. C. About 2,700 copies of “Versed” will be printed. D. Cancer made Armantrout stop writing. C It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits anddangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野) For Killing Wolves In Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, 1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply. A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer can’t find enough food, they die. If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey (猎物) will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology. If we killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. We’d also save some farm animals. In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population. Against Killing Wolves If you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf'” will not disappear. But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. And has always been a law of nature. Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life. The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.
