VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer.
Yellowstone National Park is located in the western United States and is home to a diverse range
of wildlife. Probably for thousands of years, one species native to the area was the gray wolf. However, in
the early 1900s, the park’s wolf population was hunted and killed because they were seen as a threat to
animals on the farms around the park, although the wolves rarely left the park area. They were extinct by
the 1920s.
However, in 1995, the park started a plan to reintroduce wolves to the area, a move that would
have a huge impact on the park’s ecosystem. The plan involved capturing gray wolves from healthy
populations in Canada and reintroducing them into Yellowstone. Before the reintroduction, the population
of elk, a kind of deer, in the park was at an all-time high, and their eating habits had a very bad effect on
the plant life. With the wolves’ return, the elk population began to decrease as the wolves killed them,
allowing the plant life to recover. This had a good effect on the rest of the ecosystem, as the increased
plant life allowed for the return of other species, such as beavers and songbirds.
The fact that wolves were now back in the park also led to changes in the behavior of other
species, such as coyotes and foxes, which began to avoid areas where wolves were present. This allowed

small mammals like rabbits and rodents to increase their populations in those areas, which in turn
attracted the birds which ate these creatures, like hawks and eagles.

A. The population in the park died of the species.
B. Gray wolves are not native to the Yellowstone area.
C. They were seen as a threat to farm animals.
D. People killed gray wolves for their skin and meat.

A. thousands of years B. one species native to the area
C. the park’s wolf population D. animals and farms
28. The word “reintroduce” in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to________.
A. bring back B. fall apart C. take away D. look up
29. In paragraph 3, the writer is giving examples of ________.
A. the dangers of reintroducing wolves
B. the good effects from the reintroduction of wolves
C. both the good effects and bad effects of the reintroduction
