the skies is to photograph them.The process is very simple.First,a photographic plate is coated with a light-sensitive material.The plate is positi oned so that the image received by the telescope is recorded on it.Then the image can be developed,enl arged,and published so that many people can study it.Because most astr ono mical objects are very remote,the light we receive from them is rather feeble.But by using a telescope as a camera,long time exposures can be made.In this way,objects can be photographed that are a hun dred times too faint to be see n by just look ing through a telescope.1)This passage is about how to photograph astronomical objects.2)Photograph,coated,light-sensitive material,positioned,received,recorded,developed,enl

canine(犬科的)family.Most of the adult grey wolves weigh in the vici nity of 75 to 125 pounds(34 to 56 kilograms).Wolves live in family groups called packs.A pack is usually made up of a male pare nt,a female pare nt,their pups and a few other adult wolves who are the olderbrothers and sisters.Wolves can run up to 40 miles an hour and can easily cover 50 miles a day.The wolf has developed the capacity to survive in the most inhospitable of climates.The wolves in the high arctic endure several winter months of perpetual darkness.Even in February when the sun returns to the north,temperatures of-40 C and bitter winds are common.In the wild wolves can live up to 13 years or more;in a protected wolf park or a controlled area of land,a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old.1)After more than a century of assault by humans,the wolf population had dwindled to no more than a handful by the 1970s in Mexico and the American southwest.2)The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a wild population of at least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 square kilometers.3)Decisions about mating,movement among the 45 captive-breeding facilities and releases into the wild are made by a US-Mexican committee of scientists,land owners and others.4)A wolf with rare genes-until it has successfully reproduced-will never be released because of the high mortality rate in the wild.5)The recovery program is gradually moving away from freeing captive-born wolves,as the population of pups born free takes off.Fran cisco and Sheila were pion eers in a federal program in Eureka,32 kilometers southwest of S1.Louis,the United States,to restore the endangered Mexican gray wolf,the rarest and most genetically distinct subspecies of gray wolf in North America.After more than a century of assault by humans,the wolf population had dwin dled to no more tha n a han dful by the 1970s in Mexico and the America n southwest.The research cen ter,popularly known as the Wolf San ctuary*,was foun ded in 1971 by Marlin Perkins,a world-renowned naturalist and former director of the St.Louis Zoo,and his wife Carol.Besides the Mexica n wolf,the san ctuary works with the endangered red wolf,maned wolf（maned:有鬃毛的;maned wolf 鬣狼）,swift fox and African wild dogs.In the late 1970s,the last seven known wolves were captured in the wild or taken from zoos to begin the breeding program.In 1981,the first captive-bred litter of Mexica n gray wolves produced in the federal program was born at the Wild Canid（犬科动物）Center,and the first release into the wild took place in 1998.The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a wild population of at least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 square kilometers.Though in captivity themselves,Fran cisco and Sheila taught their pups so well that many are thriving in the wild.They were ideal parents.They raised 25 babies,taught them good survival skills and sent many of them off to live on their own.Ni ne of Fran cisco and Sheilas offspri ng were among the first 11 captive-bor n Mexica n gray wolves released in 1998.Both pare nt wolves have since died-Fran cisco at age 14 in December.Sheila at age 16 in June 2000-but they lived,as captive wolves ofte n do,roughly twice as long as wolves in the wild.Today the Wild Can id Survival and Research Cen ter in Eureka estimates that 98 percent of Mexican wolves released from the federal program are descendants of the prolific*lobo*pair.(lobo=timber wolf)About 250 lobos now live in captivity at 45 US and Mexican facilities.The Wild Canid Cen ter,however,has produced more puppies and housed more Mexica n grays tha n any other facility.The Wild Canid Center is ideated*on 25 isolated hectares(公顷)within Washington Universitys Tyson Research Center.The wolves live in large outdoor with mi nimal _ huma n con tact.They lear n to hunt,_,live in natural family packs,and to be suspicious of people-all n ecessary skills for surv iving in the wild.Decisions about

successfully reproduced-will never be released because of the in the wild.Its not un com mon for freed wolves to be struck by cars or shot by hun ters;in rece nt weeks,five have died.Despite the losses,released wolves are _ The recovery program is gradually moving away from free ing captive-bor n wolves,as the populatio n of pups born free _.Scientists want to let nature decide whats a good

the 45 captive-breeding facilities and releases into the wild are made by a US-Mexican committee of scientists,land owners and others.They also maintain a genetic database.A wolf with rare genes-until it has successfully reproduced-will never be released because of the high mortality rate in the wild.Its not un com mon for freed wolves to be struck by cars or shot by hun ters;in rece nt weeks,five have died.Despite the losses,released wolves are reproduci ng.The recovery program is gradually moving away from free ing captive-bor n wolves,as the populati on of pups born free takes off.Scie ntists want to let n ature decide whats a good wolf and whats not through natural select ion.Exercise B Sentence Dictatio n Directions:Listen to some sentences and write them down.You will hear each

1998.Both parent wolves have since died-Francisco at age 14 in December.Sheila at age 16 in June 2000 but they lived,as captive wolves often do,roughly twice as long as wolves in the wild.The Wild

housed more Mexican grays than any other facility.Other large US newspapers were singled out too,including the Wall Street Journal,which won the Pulitzer for breaking news,despite being displaced from its offices at the World Trade Center.The Washington Post received Pulitzers in two categories,investigative and national reporting.(Open)Section Three News News Item1 When Astroland opened in 1962 it
