8、 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
9、that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves cant always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The “big bad wolf” has arrived!

27、w the rocks moving in December when they went to check on the project.For their study, they used special global positioning system tools, designed by James Norris, in rocks of various sizes brought from outside the park.They were not allowed to move or change anything of the existing playa(盐湖) stone
28、s.No river flows into the playa, though rainwater sometimes fills part of it to a depth of a few inches.Its when this happens, and the nights are below freezing and the days are fine, that the rocks may “sail”, the researchers said.On those occasions, the cold night air leaves a sheet (薄片) of ice on
29、ly an eighth of an inch thick.Then the warmth of the sun causes the sheet to break up.As more ice melts (融化), some of these lesser sheets have room to move.Driven by light winds, the sheets push up against rocks.The wind drives the water, too, which also helps push the ice to some degree. The moveme
30、nt is slow, no more than about 15 feet a minute.The movements are episodicthe conditions may be just right for a few minutes, and then the sun causes more ice to break and the movement stops.And once the water disappears, it may be years before the rocks move again, even if the playa floods again, b

34、inds,the sheets push up against rocks”可知,两位科学家认为,石头周围形成的冰在风的作用下使得石头移动。12What does the underlined word “episodic” in the last paragraph probably mean?AAmazingly big.BExtremely slow.CHappening sometimes.DGoing on without stopping.C词义猜测题。由最后一段可知,能够让石头移动的条件非常特殊,很少出现,所以可推断episodic应该是“偶尔发生”的意思。DA private
