Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the th eater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.

Thefilm classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater.Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled withteary-eyed audience wanting to say good-be to the old building. Theater ownerEd Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie isset in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.

Bradford said that large modern theaters inthe city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason.“This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly officebuildings and warehouses.”

Last week some city officials suggested thecity might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and publicmeeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financialproblems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater islocated.

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced toYellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada andtransported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population hadgrown to more than 170 wolves.

Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone areaand much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from theYellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, wherethere were fewer humans around.

The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deerand elk populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf – grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversityin the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’ s red foxes, and completelydrove away the park’ s beavers.

As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducingwolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control theelk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared thatwolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan toreintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitorsand manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over howwell the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyotepopulations are down, while beavers and red fores have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolfproject has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether toreintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

28.What is the text mainly about?

A.Wildlife research in the United States.

B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.

C.The conflict between farmers and graywolves.

30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？

A.Damage to local ecology.

B.A decline in the park’s income.

C.Preservation of vegetation.

D.An increase in the variety of animals.

31.What is the author’s attitude towardsthe Yellowstone wolf project？

A.Doubtful.

B.Positive.

C.Disapproving.

D. Uncaring.

The Intelligent Transport team at NewcastleUniversity have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named“Drive LAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by old er drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.

Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for afall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming moreisolated(隔绝) andinactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developingin-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them tocontinue driving into later life.

These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in thecountry, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving themthe freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”

“But we all have t o accept that as we get older our reactions slow downand this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging drivingconditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is thatpeople stop driving before they really need to.”

D r Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study,explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points anddifficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to addressthese problems.

“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slowerthan everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones theystruggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break thespeed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits ofsystems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.

“We hope that our work will helpwith technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”

32.What is the purpose of the DrivelLAB?

A.To explore new means of transport.

B.To design new types of cars.

C.To find out older driver`s problems.

D.To teach people traffic rules.

33.Why is driving important for olderpeople according to Phil Blythe?

A.It keeps them independent.

B.It helps them save time.

C.It builds up their strength.

D.It cures their mental illnesses.

34.What do researchers hope to do for olderdrivers?

A.Improve their driving skills.

B.Develop driver-assist technologles.

C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.
