There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa，but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world’s most exciting wildlife journeys. Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure，providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses，professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience. The morning ride，when the guides take you to beautiful，shallow lakes full of water lilies，

tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals，too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants，giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though，as does your heart rate，as you move closer to them.

In the evening，rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are，rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun’s rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses，the romance of Africa comes to life. 1 Homework

【2017·新课标III】C After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves. Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around. The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations —

major food sources (来源) for the wolf –

grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s

red foxes, and completely drove away the park’ s beavers.

As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day，you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild. 48. What does the underlined word ＂They＂

Since the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot＂greener＂toward the environment.＂We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，＂says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.＂The understanding has increased many，many times，＂says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.

According to US government reports，emissions (排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place.

Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth. The more famous of these animals are dinosaurs.

The number of them used to living in China. Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappeared from the earth in so a short time.

Hunting too much affected the number of wild animals greatly.

As a result，some animals have died out and some others are in danger. Fortunately，our government has paid attention to the situation and has taken a series of measures. We must take every effort to protect the environment as we care for our eyes. Only in this way can we prevent the situation from getting worse successfully.
