They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in.

22、 But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world. “The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Colu

23、mbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New Yorks Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the countrys largest populations of raccoons (浣熊 ) now lives in Wash

24、ington D.C., and moose (驼鹿 ) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼 ) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食 ) pigeons. Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cit

25、ies has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处 )have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent 750,000 to buy land and build 10 perma

26、nent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben. For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地 ). By 1970 the birds

27、 had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life. That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food. Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The

28、trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持 ) the cleanest water but which wi

29、ll attract the most birds. 【小题 1】 The first paragraph suggests that _.

33、. Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one b

34、lock long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortu

35、nately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property t

36、o contractors. It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for bei

37、ng too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The l

38、ady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever. The “comings and goings” o

39、f the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking rid

40、e on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into

41、the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen wind

42、ow has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and d

43、ump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod. There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world woul

44、d never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, bu

45、t the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child. 【小题 1】 The writer calls up the memory of the street _. A every year when autumn comes B in the afterno

46、on every day C every time he walks along his street D now that he is an old man 【小题 2】 The writer finds it hard to accept the fact that _.

47、ery boring D the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life 【小题 3】 The writer thinks of the past all the more when he sees those who had grown up with him _. A continue to consider home to be the center of their lives B leave the neighborhood they grew up in C still enjoy playing card gam

48、es in the evenings D develop new interests and have new dreams 【小题 4】 The biggest change on the writers street is _. A removing the hill to make way for residential development B the building of new homes behind his kitchen window C the fact that there are much fewer people around than in the past D the change in his childhood fr
