　　Passage 7　(2015·潍坊期末)

　　话题：黄石公园大火

　　词数：250

　　Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn.It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those caused by lightning, were necessary for forests to maintain balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn.However，a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially allowed to burn yet soon out of control.As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is Americas oldest and most beloved national park.Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors.The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair.
