a. people built towns and highways. b. the timber wolf was driven away from its home. c. people cut down the forests. d. the timber wolf is an endangered species. 64. when people in colorado shot the wolves, they made a mistake because . a. the wolves kept down the number of deer b. the wolves never attacked other animals c. the wolves were starving and would have died anyway d. the deer kept the balance of nature 65. the reasons of animal extinction include the following except.a. less living space b. food crisis c. killed by people d. natural disasters cthe legal age for drinking alcohol in the united states is twenty-one. underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. this week in our foreign student series, we look at alcohol rules at american colleges and universities. these rules differ from school to school, but many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules. the united states has more than 17,000,000 students in higher education. each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. and almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken. one behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking (狂饮) is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. a person can die of alcohol poisoning. at oklahoma university, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily t a party in 2005. now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses (联谊会会馆) and university housing. student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on friday and saturday nights. other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online. the rules govern behavior on campus (大学校园) and off. with a first violation (违反), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. they must also take an alcohol education class. for a second “strike”, they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. a third strike means that they have to be suspended(暂停) school for at least one semester. since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike and only one hasnt allowed to go to school for one semester. the president at oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change the behavior and culture at the university. 66. the first paragraph mainly tells us that . a. the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21b. many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime c. drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture d. american colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules 67. every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the usa adds up to about . a. 17,000,000b.1,301,700c.601,700d.1300,00068. if a student has a third strike, he or she should . a. have to stop going to school for a time b. be removed to another school c. be locked at home for a period d. be forced to leave school forever 69. which of the following is true? a. college students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time. b. if students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol. c. students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine. d. students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike. 70. from the last paragraph we can infer that . a. alcohol rules have no effect on college students b. drinking alcohol remains a serious problem c. alcohol rules aim to change the behavior and culture at the university d. the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way dpierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the california academy of sciences. due to his old age, he was going bald(光秃的), which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. therefore, biologists at the academy had a wetsuit (橡胶制的潜水服) created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool. unlike marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物) which have a layer of fat to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof(防水的) feathers. without them, pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers(同伴) played in the water. “he was cold; he would shake,” said pam schaller, a senior biologist. schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep pierre warm. then she got another idea: if wetsuits keep humans warm in the cold pacific, why not make one for pierre? schaller designed the suit, which covered pierres body and had small openings for his flippers (鳍状肢). “i would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,” she said. one concern was that the other penguins would refuse pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. he swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach. schaller couldnt say for sure whether the wetsuit allowed pierre to
