21、 Gray wolves will no longer be protected under the Endangered Species Act in most of the US, federal officials announced this week.
“After more than 45 years as a listed species, the gray wolf has reached all conservation goals for recovery,” Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said.
This move was criticized by wildlife advocacy groups and environmentalists who decided to challenge the decision.
“Abolishing protections for gray wolves is irresponsible,” said Defenders of Wildlife President and CEO, Jamie Rappaport Clark. “Gray wolves occupy only a small part of their former range and need continued federal protection to fully recover. We will be taking the US Fish and Wildlife Service to court to defend this species.”
The new rule will officially publish next week, and go into effect 60 days after that. Then, states will assume control of gray wolves and accept for Mexican wolves, a subspecies that will remain protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Over the years, there has been a back-and-forth between conservation groups and the Fish and Wildlife Service over whether the gray wolf should be delisted (除名) as an endangered species. The last attempt was under the Obama administration, but was met with fierce opposition and was later withdrawn.
There was also a lot of opposition to the recent delisting of the gray wolf, with more than 837,000 comments noted online. According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the organization submitted more than 1. 8 million comments opposing the rule.
While the federal government is removing protections, at least one state is hoping to add them. There is currently a question on the vote in Colorado about a gray wolf recovery program, which would reintroduce the animal in the state. The proposal would reintroduce and manage gray wolves by the end of 2023.
"Wolves remain absent from about 70% of currently suitable habitat in the lower 48 states, and this rule could have terrible consequences for their future,” Amanda Wight, Program Manager of Wildlife Protection said.
【1】How does Bernhardt feel about the gray wolf recovery?
A.Urgent.
B.Worrying.
C.Successful.
D.Impossible.
【2】What will environmentalists do to defend gray wolves?
A.Set more protection rules.
B.Call on environmentalists to donate.
C.Ask the government to set up more reserves.
D.Accuse the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
【3】What can we know about the delisting of the gray wolf?
A.The related rule has been in effect.
B.It has been under debate for years.
C.Many people vote to support it.
D.Colorado will be the first to carry it out.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Endangered Species Act is going into effect
B.The number of gray wolves is largely increasing
C.Gray wolves will lose Endangered Species Act protection
D.The Endangered Species Act will meet great change
22、 We don’t meet people by accident. 【1】Some will help you grow, some will hurt you, some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some role in their lives as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat people with significance.

23、 Should parents send their freshmen off to campus armed with a debt or credit card to learn how to handle money? Or is it better to keep firm control through the Bank of Mom and Dad? The "correct" answer will vary by family and personal preference.
The Credit Card Act that took effect 2.5 years ago made it much harder for anyone under 21 to get a card. Gone are the days of card issuers collecting plenty of new customers on campus by handing out free T-shirts or rewards points for spring break.
Under-21s can still obtain a credit card if they have a qualified co-signer or proof of sufficient income to repay the debt. And card issuers still market aggressively to college students, targeting them with pre-screened mail offers. That makes parents, as the likeliest co-signers, more involved in the card-or-no-card decision.
Robyn Kahn Federman of Rochester, N.Y., says there’s “no way” she’ll let either of her two daughters have a credit card at such a financially tender age. Her daughter Sarah, who’s 19 and about to start her second year of college, uses Robyn’s PayPal card instead. That lets her mom fund the balance and see how she spends her money.
“I don’t think anything related to debt belongs in the hands of a college kid,” says Federman, communications director of a marketing agency. “The vast majority are not experienced enough with money or aware enough of the risks.”
Some students, though, have shown they’re disciplined enough to have their own card on campus.
Scott Gamm, 20, a junior at New York University's Stern School of Business, used his income from freelance work and blogging to obtain a Visa card and then an American Express card. He charges $200 to $300 on them monthly and pays every bill in full.
But he has friends who obtained three or four cards within a year and now have big debts.
“The more credit you have access to, especially at that young age, the higher the probability you’ll use that card to finance fancy clothes, restaurants and entertainment.” says Gamm.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?
A.People hold different opinions about their kids using credit cards.
B.Credit cards are useful in helping deal with money matters.
C.It is better to have Mom and Dad who now run a bank.
D.The new Act made it impossible to get a credit card for freshmen.
【2】To obtain a credit card, an under-21 has to _____.
A.own a credit card of his own previously
B.have someone to repay the possible debt
C.turn to their parents to get their permission
D.ask their parents to write the application letter
【3】We may infer from the case of Sarah that PayPal card ____.
A.is a kind of credit card B.funds the balance automatically
C.has access to credit D.keeps records of money spent
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The Credit Card Act B.Students and credit cards
C.Card issuers and students D.Parents and choice of cards

26、阅读下面文章,根据其内容和所给段洛开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整短文。
On his way home, Jonathon saw a gray, long-haired cat sitting on the sidewalk. As he stopped to pet her, he noticed that she was not wearing a collar. She rubbed her head against his hand and began to purr (发呼噜声). She reminded Jonathon of Smoky, the cat he had when he was younger. Smoky’s fur had been long and gray too.
Jonathon petted the cat for a while. Then he said, “I have to go,” and continued home. To his surprise, the cat followed him.
When Jonathon was home, he walked up the porch steps and went in the kitchen. The cat followed him up the steps and sat quietly outside the door, watching him closely. Jonathon made a sandwich. The cat continued to stare at him. Jonathon sighed. “I know it’s not a good idea to feed a stray cat,” he said, “but you look so hungry! I can’t sit here and eat without feeding you too!”
Jonathon put some turkey on a plate for the cat. As Jonathon watched, she ate every scrap of turkey and then began to clean her face and paws. “Wow!” Jonathon said, “You must have been starving. I wonder how long it has been since someone fed you.”
Jonathon finished his sandwich and looked at the cat. Her long fur was matted (乱蓬蓬的). Jonathon remembered that Smoky’s brush and toys were stored in the garage. “I’m going to clean you up a little,” Jonathon said to the cat.
Jonathon found Smoky’s brush and got to work. As the dirt came out, the cat’s fur began to get lighter. “Hey!” Jonathon said, realizing the truth. “You’re not gray—you’re white!”
After her brushing, the cat climbed onto Jonathon’s lap and purred. “You’re so friendly, you probably belong to someone,” Jonathon said. “I bet you’re just lost.” When Jonathon’s father came home, Jonathon showed him the cat that had stretched out in a patch of sun on the porch. “Why don’t you make some signs to place in the neighborhood,” his father suggested.
注意:
1. 续写字数应为150左右;

His father said that if no one called about the cat after a week, Jonathon could keep her.
