Wild beavers (河狸)are back! Experts say that the wild
beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting
wildlife and the environment!
Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part
of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they
came from. It was a big surprise—wild beavers hadn't lived in
England for around 400 years!
In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there
as part of a trial (试验).They wanted to see if these animals
could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ends in February.
Some scientists from the University of Exeter already say the
beavers help the wildlife in the area.One scientist called it
“an amazing story”.
A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along
the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows
the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many
different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing
near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming
more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less,
scientists say. The beavers' dams slow down the speed of the
river, especially after heavy rain.
There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw(咬、啃)on
trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes
create floods (洪水) on people's land.
Beavers aren't the only animals that are being reintroduced
to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area
of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world's rarest (罕
见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It
was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and
is doing well.
Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?
( C )26.Which of the following best explains “boosting” in
Paragraph 1?
A.building B.spreading C.helping
( C )27.Why did the government want a trial first? Because they
wanted to ______.
A.grow more plants along the river
B.build dams for the beavers in the wild
C.see if the beavers could be reintroduced to the wild
( A )28.What are the good things about wild beavers living on
the river Otter?
A.They help plants grow and make flooding less.
B.They bring heavy rain and floods.
C.They gnaw on trees and harm them.
( C )29.How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news story
which have been reintroduced to the wild?
A.One. B.Two. C.Three.
( B )30.How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?
A.Embarrassed. B.Pleased. C.Tired.
