34、at beauty. Tall towers of red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat sandy valley floor. The scene has been photographed many times and appears in movies and in TV. In Arizona, man made dams across the Colorado River have made two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country. At Lake Pow

35、ell, the red stone arch of Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake. There are few roads. Many areas of Lake Powells shore can only be reached by boat or on foot.

To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people

49、have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. “Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. “Eco

50、passages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The

51、answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage. Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!68. The writer uses the example of “ocelots”

The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because _. A. wild animals may attack ca
