D Long ago,Mexican wolves were common all through the Southwestem US and Norther Mexico.But as more human activities appeared in the areas,the wolves were hunted until they almost died out.The Mexican wolf is the rarest kind of gray wolf in North America.In the 1970s,the US government began a program of raising Mexican wolves and releasing (them back into nature.The program hoped to make the wolves spread back across the area they had once lived in for they are an important part of the balance of nature in the area. The result of the latest count of Mexican wolves was reported by the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).A total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild,and half of them had baby wolves last spring.Around 90 baby wolves were born in all,and 58%of them survived.The count reported a total of 163 wolves,which is nearly 25%more than last year.Over the last 10 years,the number of wolves has been increasing by about 15%a year. One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing little wolves into groups of wild wolves. The wolves that are returned to natural when they are young seem to be far more adaptable（可适应的) than wolves that go into the wild for the first time as adults.Besides,new wolves from outside the packs also improve the overall long-term health of the wolves as a group. However,not everyone is excited about the news.For farmers,who must protect their cattle ( from wolves,the increase is likely to mean more lost animals on their farms.Last year,184 farm animals were killed in all.That's the largest number since 1998. Now,the USFWS and others are studying the increase in cattle killings,and trying to figure out solutions to protecting both Mexican wolves and farm animals.Bryan Bird,speaking for a group called Defenders of Wildlife,says,"Ensuring that wolves and people can get along is a necessary part of long- term success..” 37.What is the aim of the US program? A.To call on people to fight against hunting. B.To reduce the natural areas for human activities. C.To improve the living conditions of Mexican wolves. D.To make sure the Mexican wolf population rises. 38.What do the numbers reported by the USFWS show? A.The US program has faced some difficulties. B.The US program has achieved great success. C.The number of wolves has been out of control. D.The Mexican wolves have trouble fitting into the wild. 英语试卷第6页（共8页） 39.What can be learned from Paragraph 3? A.Most young wolves are healthier than adult wolves. B.Wildlife managers should take measures to manage wolves. C.Releasing wolves in the wild causes some environmental problems. D.Mixing human-raised baby wolves with wild wolves benefits them all. 40.What problem is mentioned in Paragraph 4? A.Wild Mexican wolves are short of food.
