26、Polar bears generally use sea ice to hunt (捕猎), but a newly discovered group has found another way. An isolated (与世隔绝的) population of polar bears has been discovered in a fjord (峡湾) in southeast Greenland, which is free of sea ice for most of the year. Polar bear generally need sea ice to survive, so the discovery is raising hopes that some kinds of the polar bears might survive the loss of sea ice caused by global warming.

Researchers found the population living in a fjord in the southeast Greenland, which is surrounded by mountains and an ice sheet to the west, and ocean to the east. The sea-ice coverage lasts for only around 100 days each year. With sea ice in the fjord becoming smaller because of global warming, the whole group were expected to die out by the end of this century.

But the isolated population has found a way to hunt without sea ice. The group, about 27 adult females, has been isolated from other polar bear populations along Greenland’s east coast for at least 200 years.

Tracking data from marked bears proves that they don’t move far. For example, when members of the group went out of the fjord, the ice on which they sat sometimes got caught in the rapid water flow. “Whenever this happened, they would get stuck and then, they would have to jump off, swim to the beach and walk back home empty-handed,” says lead author Kristin Laidre, an animal ecologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Though the researchers failed to video their hunting without sea ice, the existence of this small population in conditions of low sea-ice coverage suggests there is a chance that the population can survive, even as sea ice flows away to farther north each year.

【1】What have the newly discovered polar bears found?

A．A place filled with ice sheets.

B．A way to hunt without sea ice.

C．A way to track sea ice flowing away.

D．An ice sheet caught in the rapid water flow.

【2】Why were polar bears in the fjord expected to die out?

A．They are being hunted by human.

B．They have lost their source of food.

C．They can’t stand the increasing heat.

D．The sea ice there is becoming smaller.

【3】What can be inferred from the text?

A．The bears can swim very far to hunt for food.

B．Kristin Laidre is negative about the future of the group.

C．Once the group went out of the fjord, they might get into trouble.

D．If the bears got caught in the rapid water flow, they wouldn’t go home.

【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．Polar bear population can survive without sea ice

B．Sea ice is becoming smaller because of the global warming

C．Polar bear population may die out because of the global warming

D．A newly discovered polar bear population has been stuck in a fjord

29、After bouncing my rental car across several miles of red-dirt roads, I walked for nearly another mile down the beach to a deserted valley. It was comforting to think that at the very least I was finally out of cell-phone range.

However, even on Kauai, Hawaii’s‘Garden Island’, complete escape wasn’t all that easy to achieve. Noisy helicopters full of tourists flew overhead like so many dragonflies. Every 20 minutes or so the comforting sounds of wind and water were broken by the noise of a speeding tour boat racing to complete another lap around the island. Worst of all, not more than five minutes by car from the resort where I was staying, the Atomic Clock Internet Cafe signaled with promises of instant email.

I felt uncomfortable every time I drove by the Atomic Clock Cafe. I am a technology reporter for an online magazine—my life is driven and dominated by email. I’m drowned in it, usually 400 or 500 messages a day. The main reason for my visit to Kauai was to unplug, disconnect, log off, and get away from it all. No cell phone, no electronic organizer, no laptop. And definitely, no email.

Yes, my plan was to lie on the beach and not check my email. My friends and family were outraged as they could not understand how I could bear to live without email. But they didn’t understand. In my job, I am online, all the time. Cyberspace is more familiar to me than my backyard. While I am awake, my email is always on. I don’t like-to be-without it for too long. A few hours away from it, and I start to tremble. I am, however, no stranger to beaches and their relaxing qualities and so I knew, even when arriving well after dark at the comfortable cottage in the town of Waimea, that the island of Kauai gave me a good chance of beating my addiction to electronic devices.

Maybe it was full moon lighting the black-sand beach not 10 metes from my door. Or the mango trees casting shadows across the veranda(阳台). Or the driftwood piled in loose heaps for as far as I could see along the shore. Without question, the long, slow sound of the waves rolling in calmed my restless soul, and I found I could, in fact, log off.

【1】Why did the writer come to Kauai?

A．To get away from the modern technology.

B．To work for the Atomic Clock Internet Cafe.

C．To write reports on technological development.

D．1o find whether there is an alternative to email.

【2】What can we learn about the writer?

A．He wrote articles about resorts around the world.

B．He enjoyed beach activities like boat racing.

C．He was eager to work in his backyard.

D．He spent much time working online.

【3】The word “outraged”(paragraph 4)is closest in meaning to “________”

A．relieved

B．shocked

C．amused

D．disappointed

【4】The writer described the scenery in the last paragraph in order to ________.

A．argue against his friends’ doubt of Kauai

B．propose a possible destination of his trip

C．highlight the beauty of the beach of Kauai

D．show Kauai produced a relaxing atmosphere

30、   I was frustrated at not being entered into the national IT competition I’d applied for. I sat in the car, lost in _______, chewing on my lip and staring outside.

Only then did my emotions start _______ out. I told him that all my _______ were for nothing, and that I was feeling discouraged. Grandpa smiled at me gently and said, “Don’t worry. You’re far stronger than you think.” Then he _______, “Life can be full of ups and downs so what we need do is to still have our hopes and _______, neglecting the anxiety that makes it easy to give up.”

He ________ me on the shoulder, with a determined look, before saying, “ Cheer up. I firmly ________ that you have the ability to succeed.” Grandpa’s encouragement soon made my sadness disappear.

The next day, I thought about all my problems and ________ a plan. Now, I believe that with a positive attitude towards failure, I’ll ________ reach my goals.

31、根据课文内容，填入适当形式的单词。

At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people 【1】 ( speak) English. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because  【2】 that, English began to 【3】 (speak) in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.

Native English speakers can understand each other even 【4】 they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:

British Betty: Would you like to see my 【5】?

American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.

So why has English changed 【6】 time? Actually all languages change and develop 【7】 cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English 【8】(speak) in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more 【9】German than the English we speak now.

Then gradually  between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those 【10】 ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary.
