Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.The bear stops and sways (摇晃) his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible against the ice.Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors (祖先) werent always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers (冰川) and couldnt leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bears survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore. They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory (领地). These longlost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.语篇解读：本文是说明文。北极熊的祖先为适应环境而不断改变自身特征，而现在这些特征却让北极熊陷入困境。1What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs?AIt is noisy.BIt is smelly.CIt is starvingDIt has good eyesight.解析：选C细节理解题。由第四段中的“In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week”可知，这只白熊很饿。2What do we know about polar bears ancestors?AThey were a darkercolored species.BThey were born to live in ice and snow.CThey had no trouble getting used to the icy north.DThey came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.解析：选A细节理解题。由第五段中的“Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors (祖先) werent always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears”可知，北极熊的祖先皮毛颜色更深一些。3Why are polar bears struggling to survive?AThey are losing their hunting ground.BThey are threatened by other animals.CThey are spending little time on land.DThey have difficulty reaching the shore.解析：选A推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bears survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore”可知，随着气温上升，北极熊狩猎的海水冰面消失，使得它们的生存面临威胁。4Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AThe climate changeBThe polar bears favorite mealCThe dark past of the polar bearDThe mysteries of the Arctic Ocean解析：选C标题归纳题。文章讲到北极熊的祖先毛皮颜色更深，C项中的The dark past 既表明了北极熊祖先的外表特征，也暗含它们过去误入北极的历史。BMigrations are one of the animal kingdoms most widespread phenomena. They are seasonal tests of endurance, collective journeys often taken at great costs by birds, whales, land mammals, insects, and other creatures that are wired to travel. Scientists estimate that one third to half of all animals and even some microorganisms migrate during part of their lives.According to scientists, human actions are threatening many migrations. Habitat destruction, the creation of obstacles such as dams and fences, overexploitation of natural resources, and climate change are combining to make migrations increasingly difficult for many species.Global warming, for example, is changing flowering times and other natural cycles, driving many birds and insects to move their ranges or arrive before or after their food sources have appeared. Many of the planets great migrations have already disappeared.By increasing public awareness of the troubles of migratory animals and committing to the preservation not only of individual species but also their way of life, many migrations can still be saved. Migrations should be saved, if not for the absolute fear that seeing millions of animals moving with one purpose elicits, then for their ecological importance.“What we really want to protect is the natural phenomenon of abundance，” Wilcove said. “If we wait until migrating animals are endangered, then we lose both the ecosystem benefits associated with their abundance and also the wonder and majesty (壮丽) of migrations.”“Its like global warming，” he said. “You have to alert people, and after a while, the public knows about it and they do something about it. Thats when the big changes will come about. I think theres absolute hope.”5When animals begin to migrate, they will _.Aachieve it whatever is neededBspend half of their lives in migratingCmake the journey in an individual wayDadapt to the season at a fixed place解析：选A推理判断题。根据第一段第二句中的“.collective journeys often taken at great costs .”可知，动物只要开始迁徙，就无论怎样都要达到目标，因此选A。6Which of the following affects flowering times?AHabitat destruction.BThe building of dams.CGlobal warming.DThe use of natural resources.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，全球变暖影响到了花开的时间，即C项正确。7Migrations should be saved because _.Ait is a pleasure to see millions of animals moving with one purposeBthe way of individual species life should be protected Cthey are environmentally critical mass movementsDthe benefits of the ecosystem are connected with them解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，动物的迁徙是具有生态意义的，对整个生态系统有着重要的影响，所以需要保护。8The attitude of Wilcove towards saving migrations is _.AsympatheticBnegativeCsuspiciousDoptimistic解析：选D态度观点题。根据文章最后一段的“I think theres absolute hope.”可知，他认为完全有可能，所以他对于拯救动物迁徙持乐观的态度。.阅读七选五PollutionPollution happens when the environment is dirtied, by waste, chemicals, and other harmful substances. Pollution is a problem all over the world. But it is especially bad in large cities with a lot of industries and cars._1_Wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial chemicals cause some air pollution.But most air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels (矿物燃料). These include coal, oil, and natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels may release (释放) harmful gases. Air pollution may cause such diseases as cancer and asthma. It also leads to polluted rain that can harm living things. _2_ Finally, air pollution damages the ozone layer (臭氧层), which is important because it protects Earth against harmful rays from the sun.Causes of water pollution are easy to see. People dump (倾倒) garbage and dirty water into rivers, lakes and oceans. Factories or cities sometimes release poisonous chemicals, and other wastes into water. These chemicals may make the groundwater unfit to drink._3_Littering, or throwing garbage on the ground, is a form of land pollution. Litter can destroy the habitats of plants and animals. The buildup of dangerous chemicals in the ground is another form of land pollution. The chemicals may come from farms or factories._4_They may even harm people who eat the polluted plants and animals.Many governments, environmental groups, and ordinary people are working to control pollution. Governments have passed laws to keep people from
