Every day for a week, a strange, happy visitor would drop to play with Vanessa Prior's pet dog Bobby.Prior thought Bobby had made a new dog friend.It seemed very friendly and got well along with Bobby.They would run after each other, play on the pool cover, gently wrestle or nap side by side.
At first she thought it was a wild dog.But when she posted a photo of the two playing on her blog, a pet rescue center called her.The group told her the Atlanta Wolf Project had been trying to catch the wolf for months, but they failed.Prior gave them new hope.
Because of the wolf's friendship with her pet dog, it was likely to come back to her backyard.Researchers hoped Prior could help them.When they put some traps in the back of her yard, Prior got a very complicated feeling.She couldn't describe what it was, but she was closely surrounded by it.The wolf would be in a safe place, but she would do something that harmed Bobby's feelings.
Researchers told Prior that they would take the rare, black wolf to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary where it would live with another wolf.They didn't think it a fulfilling situation for a wild animal like a wolf to have a connection with humans' life.They need to keep a natural awareness to humans and pets and keep to themselves.
Wolf experts added they would look into the genetics of the animal to try to learn why it liked to get close to people and tried to play with their pets.Some experts believe it could have a history with well meaning humans.Prior had not expected that she and Bobby should meet such a special and lovely wolf.They just hoped the dear friend all the best.

How did the sea horse get its name It's not hard to guess.The top half of this fish looks like a small horse.But looking at the sea horse's tail，you might think“sea monkey”is a better name.Then there's the sea horse's pouch (育儿袋)．“Sea kangaroo” might also be a good name for this fish.
Sea horses live in warm ocean waters all over the world.They keep safe from other fish by hiding in plants and grasses that grow under the sea.They can also change color to match their surroundings.A sea horse remains in one place for hours at a time by winding its tail around a plant.It feeds on live food, such as small shrimps.For a fish that doesn't move around much, the sea horse eats a lot — in just one day, a sea horse can eat 3,000 shrimps!
A sea horse keeps the same mate for its whole life, and it's the male sea horse that gives birth to baby sea horses.How does this happen？Baby sea horses start out as eggs, which come from the female's body.The male carries the eggs in its pouch for about three weeks until they hatch.Soon after the babies are born, the female gives her mate a new set of eggs.
Sadly, the number of sea horses is being smaller.Why is this happening Some places where sea horses once lived have been filled in to make new land.Also, many sea horses are caught and sold as aquarium fish (观赏鱼)．This really is not a good idea because most sea horses don't live long in aquariums.The best place for a sea horse is the ocean.
8．The sea horse got its name because of its ______.
A．head B．tail
C．skin D．pouch
9．How does a sea horse keep safe from other fish
A．It hides in plants and grasses.
B．It runs away quickly.
C．It remains still.
D．It rolls up.
10．We can learn from the text that sea horses ________.
A．like to move around
B．live in cold ocean waters
C．feed on small sea animals
D．change color with the temperature
11．What does a female sea horse do with her eggs
A．She puts them in the male's pouch.
B．She hides them in sea grasses.
C．She carries them around.
D．She hatches them.
D
If you live in a big city, you might see trees start budding even before spring officially arrives.
A new article published in the journal Science found that trees in urban areas have started turning green earlier than the rural trees due to cities being hotter and also having more lights.
“I found artificial light in cities acts as an extended daylight and causes earlier spring greening and later autumn leaf coloring，” author Lin Meng said. Meng is a researcher at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her research collected observations and satellite data from 85 cities in the United States between 2001 and 2014.“ I found trees start to sprout new leaves and turn green six days earlier in cities compared to rural areas，” Meng said.
While the early appearance of spring and longer growing seasons may not seem like a big deal, Meng said there were serious effects on humans and wildlife. For one thing, early budding plants are at risk of spring frost. And changes in the growing season could also lead to an earlier and longer flower season, meaning a higher risk of allergies for humans. Meng also thought that this could lead to a bigger problem if the trees become out of sync with the insects.“That may result in food shortage and may affect insect development, survival and reproduction，” she said.
Despite the concerns, Meng said it wasn't all bad news.“If they have a longer growing season, trees will absorb more carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere，” she said. “They'd have a longer period to do the cooling effect that can help reduce the heating effect in cities.” In terms of solutions, Meng said that cutting artificial light would reduce harm done to trees and that if light pollution was removed, early tree greening could be changed.
12．Which of the following may cause city trees to turn green earlier
A．The higher temperature.
B．The reduced amount of lighting.
C．The shorter daytime.
D．The later autumn leaf coloring.
13．What may the underlined word “sprout” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Lose. B．Reduce.
C．Add. D．Grow.
14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The causes of early appearance of spring.
B．The advantages of having a longer spring.
C．The harm of city trees turning green early.
D．The ways of solving longer growing seasons.
15．What is a solution to early tree greening according to Meng
A．Planting more trees.
B．Shortening the nighttime.
C．Making flower seasons longer.
D．Reducing light pollution.

阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Our uncle, who lived with us, is a quiet and friendly man.He is fond of fishing, and it was one of the pleasures of our young life to join him in his biking to the Great Hill, the woods, the ponds, and, best of all, the country brook (小溪)．Of course the most exciting part of the hiking was an afternoon walk through the woods and along the side of the brook.
I remember my first fishing tour, as if it were yesterday, and especially the wise caution of my uncle in that particular instance which takes the form of a proverb of universal application: “Never brag (自夸) about your fish before you catch it.”
After I received the first fishing pole from my uncle, I set off happily with him to the woods.It was a still, sweet day of early summer, and the long afternoon shadows of the trees lay cool across our path: the leaves seemed greener, the flowers brighter, the birds merrier, than ever before.
My uncle, who knew by long experience the points that pickerels (狗鱼) most frequently visited, considerately placed me at the most favorable one.I threw out my line as I had often seen others, and waited anxiously for a bite, moving the bait (饵) on the surface of the water like the leap of a frog.Nothing came of it.“Try again，” said my uncle.Suddenly the bait sank out of sight.“Now for it，” I thought.“Here is a fish at last.” I made a strong pull, and brought up some weeds.Again and again I cast out my line with arms aching, and drew it back empty.Feeling my arms hurting and my spirits sinking, I turned to look at my uncle in a way declaring my intention to give up.“Just try once more，” my uncle said, “We fishermen must have patience.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；　2.请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly something pulled at my line.

A total of 300 articles were received, all of which were submitted through the Internet.Some students expressed their great concern for the situation of wild animals, and others put forward a wide variety of measures to protect them.
Above all, the students have come to realize the importance of protecting wild animals through the activity.
第二节(参考范文)
Suddenly something pulled at my line. Off with it swept the line into deep water.Pulling it up as quickly as I could, I saw a fine pickerel wriggling (扭来扭去) in the sun.“Uncle！” I cried, looking back in uncontrollable excitement, “I've got a fish！” “Not yet，” said my uncle.As he spoke, I saw the fish shooting into the middle of the stream and there was a splash.I had lost my prize.
So, overcome with my great and bitter disappointment, I sat down. For a time I refused to be comforted, even by my uncle's assurance that there were more fish in the brook.He refitted my bait, put the fishing pole again in my hands, and told me to try my luck once more.“But remember, boy，” he said, with a smile, “Never brag about catching a fish until it is on dry ground.I've seen people doing that more than once, making fools of themselves.It's no use boasting of anything until it's done, nor then, either, for it speaks for itself.”
