16、e reintroduced toYellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada andtransported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population hadgrown to more than 170 wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone areaand much of the continental United States, but
17、 they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from theYellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, wherethere were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deerand elk popula
18、tions major food sources (来 源 ) for the wolf grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植 被 ), which reduced plant diversityin 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
19、drove away the park s beavers.As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducingwolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control theelk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared thatwolves would kill their farm animals
20、or pets. . . .参考The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan toreintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitorsand manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over howwell the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and co

The result is thatpeople stop driving before they really need to.”. . . .参考Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the

29、 that in 30mph zones theystruggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break thespeed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits ofsystems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will helpwith technological solutions(解
