the worlds largest terrestrial carnivore(陆地肉食动物),the polar bear is the king of the great white north.Adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1430 pounds.The polar bear has a strong body while their heads are narrow with small,rounded ears.Polar bears can be found in northern Canada,Greenland,Norway and Russia,and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the North Pole.The 5,000,000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the Arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.Polar bears live on the annual Arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt.They hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice.The dens arent visible from above,but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bearwith their sharp sense of smell,polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice.As the southern edge of the Arctic ice cap melts in summer,polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食),living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.With about 22,000 polar bears living in the wild,the species is not endangered at the moment,but its future is far from certain.Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals.Sea ice in the Arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year.People have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats,but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival:global warming.If current warming trends continue,scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.21.Polar bears search for seals mainly through their .A.eyesB.earsC.nosesD.necks答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“.but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bearwith their sharp sense of smell.”可知,北极熊主要依靠它们敏锐的嗅觉来寻找食物,故选C项。22.The underlined word “dens” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “”.A.the skin of the wild animalsB.the home of wild animalsC.the breathing hole of sealsD.water of the deep sea答案:B解析:词义猜测题。根据后文 “.polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice.”可知,北极熊能通过嗅觉感知到冰雪下面海豹的位置,说明还是此时待在自己的洞穴中,所以dens指野生动物的洞穴,故选B项。23.Which of the following statements is true?A.A polar bear measures at least 9 feet long.B.Polar bears can be found in both the North Pole and the South pole.C.Polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time.D.Polar bears may die out as a result of climate change.答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals.but it does not protect.global warming.scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years.”可知,气候的变化可能会导致北极熊的灭绝,故选D项。B导学号16924008(20162017福建三校联盟高二检测)While driving home after work,Jane Hodgson noticed a car pulled over at the side of the road and a crowd beginning to gather around someone who was lying on the ground.Jane,who had completed a first aid at work course,pulled over to see if she could offer any help and it turned out to be lucky for the young injured girl that she did.Describing the scene she came across,Jane says:“The onlookers were ashen-faced and looking lost.They were so shocked that they hadnt even thought to call for an ambulance yet.”After speaking to the emergency services,Jane started finding out what had happened and what injuries the young girl called Jenny had.The girl had been hit by a car and gone over the handlebars of her bike,landing on her head and shoulder.Her shoulder and arm were twisted underneath her.“She hadnt been wearing a helmet when she got knocked down,and I thought that she should not be moved as I couldnt be sure about a spinal injury (脊椎损伤),but after looking her over and checking the circulation in her injured arm I did feel fairly confident that she had escaped relatively unhurt.“As we were waiting for an ambulance,the amount of pain the girl was in was increasing.To distract (分散注意力) her and minimize the risk of her going into shock I kept her talking.She held my hand tightly when the pain got too much and this helped.I told her I could handle it we laughed about that,” describes Jane.Later,a doctor from the local hospitals ICU stopped at the scene too.The ICU doctor decided that Jenny should lie on her back,making her much more comfortable until the emergency services arrived.Thinking back,Jane says:“For me,knowing that in a small way I helped that girl through what was a frightening experience is all the reward I need.I felt great to know Id made a difference and Id do it again.”24.We can learn from the text that Jane Hodgson .A.has learned some first aidB.is an ICU doctorC.is a first-aid trainerD.works in a local hospital答案:A解析:细节理解题。由文章第二段首句“Jane,who had completed a first aid at work

disaster area.Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequenceother countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years,Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter,a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.However,because it was very remote,Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit,bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started,which reduced the population from 1400 to 900.Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island.In fact,it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very important fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground;it is a strip mine.When a company dug strip mines,it removed the top layer of soil.Then it took away the material it wanted.Strip mines totally destroyed the land.Gradually,the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968,Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately,the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition,they used more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problemtheir phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000,Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.28.What might be the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To seek help for Naurus problems.B.To give a warning to other countries.C.To show the importance of money.D.To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.答案:B解析:主旨大意题。文章第一段提到瑙鲁前后的变化,由该段最后一句中的“.other countries might learn from its mistakes.”可知作者的写作目的是为了引起其他国家的重视,以示警告。故选B项。29.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A.Rich and powerful.B.Modern and open.C.Peaceful and attractive.D.Greedy and aggressive.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“.used to be a beautiful place.”以及第二段第一句中的“.lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization.”可知瑙鲁在欧洲人到来之前是一个安定而美丽的地方。30.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .A.soil pollutionB.phosphate overminingC.farming activityD.whale hunting答案:B解析:细节理解题。文章第四段提到一家英国矿业公司发现瑙鲁含有丰富的磷酸盐后开始开采,第五段又说明了这种露天矿的开采破坏了土壤的表层,最终使得“.the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.”。因此可以看出其生态灾难是由过度的采矿引起的,故B项正确。31.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A.The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B.The leaders will take the experts words seriously.C.The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D.The phosphate mines were destroyed.答案:A解析:推理判断题。结合文章最后一段倒数第二句专家所说的修复瑙鲁(岛)需要花的钱和时间,以及最后一句“This will probably never happen.”可以推断一旦造成生态破坏,是很难修复的。故选A项。DTheir cheery song brightens many a winters day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all nightas well as during the day,British-based researchers say.David Dominoni,of Glasgow University,said that light from street lamps,takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr.Dominoni,who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns,said lack of sleep could put the birds health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab,it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light,the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference,“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output,there might be some costs of energy.”And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.Dr.Dominoni said,“In Glasgow where I live,gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls?.During the breeding(繁殖) season,between April and June,they are very active at ni
