Part 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 101 to 110. (10 pts) Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) government traincarrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in snowstorm andhad to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of his cargo. Instead ofthe skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy. How had they survived?The answer lay in resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to crossthe “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the eastern parts of theUnited States, the preferred grass for forage was cultivated plant. It grew well with enough rain, thenwhen cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing landsof the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed riskyor even hopeless. Who could imagine fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made itpossible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that.They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses.Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought;but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like thecultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in barn, butdried right where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweetand nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And thecattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmlyinto the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring. The drysummer air cured them much as storing in barn cured the cultivated grasses. 101. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. type of wild vegetation B. Western migration after Civil War C.
