Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Some coffee shops in Norway are hoping to solve the problem of loneliness.They’ve come
up with a clever idea to supply ceramic mugs(马克杯) labeled “Skravlekopp”.This translates
roughly as “chatterbox”or,as a Norwegian friend explained to me,“someone who barely
stops talking,but not in a negative sense”.
The idea is that you can choose to have your coffee served in a green Skravlekopp as a way of
signaling to others nearby that you feel like chatting.Someone with a similar urge for
companionship can sit down with you and you’ve suddenly got a friend,at least for a short
while.
It might seem like a lot of extra effort just to strike up a conversation with a stranger,but the
fact is that many people have lost that skill,especially younger generations that now have more
contact with people over texting and social media than face-to-face.It can feel awkward and
uncomfortable to approach someone,not knowing if they want to talk.But with Skravlekopp,a
simple mug bridges that gap.
“It turns out that we up here in the north are a little shy and often afraid to disturb others.We
need a little signal that we are available and that it is allowed to have a little talk.Maybe you can
talk to someone you’ve never talked to before,maybe you can teach something you’re good
at,maybe you know something you didn’t know,maybe you can meet again,maybe not.You
can be the little human meeting someone’s needs today,”said a customer in his post on the
Internet.
And people do need it more than ever.Ours has been called the “age of loneliness”,and in
the United States about 20 to 30 percent of the population suffer from it.Last year it was reported
that around 200,000 older people in the UK had not had a conversation with a friend or relative in
more than a month.
So we need initiatives like this.I hope other towns and cities take note,realizing that it
doesn’t take much to put a smile on someone’s face and make their day.

BPolar bear mothers invest a huge amount into their cubs(幼兽),isolating themselves in
dens(兽穴) dug with great effort into piles of snow to provide care through the unforgiving
conditions of Arctic winter.It’s little wonder that the bears are hesitant to leave when disturbed,
even when oil drilling equipment is in operation nearby.
“We found that bears wouldn’t abandon their dens even with vehicles driving right
overhead,”says Wesley Larson,who worked his way from office assistant to a graduate student
position with Utah’s Brigham Young University,monitoring polar bears on Alaska’s North
Slope.
Scientists have recorded an increase in human-wildlife conflict in the area,as offshore pack
ice has decreased,forcing the bear population to create their dens closer to petrol industry
activity.With increased industry interest in oil and gas leasing(租赁) in the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge,strong evidence to help support and carry out protective measures for the species has
never been more important.
Wildlife managers in Alaska depend on a rule that industrial activity and research cannot take
place within 1.6 km of a den with newborn babies in it.Working with 15 years of monitoring
records,and 30 years of notes concerning interactions between the industry and the bears,Larson
and his colleagues were able to confirm that the regulation was sufficient,but that more needed to
be done to actively locate dens.He explains that with entrances quickly covered by snow and dens
closed-up until spring,they are effectively undetectable to the naked eye.
“While technology such as forward-looking infrared cameras can be used to try to pick up a
heat signature inside the den,it only works when conditions are perfect,and they rarely are in
Arctic winter,”says Larson.He is now consulting on a project using radar technology to identify
dens and ensure protection for the animals symbolic of the Arctic.

工业活动的地区建立自己的巢穴,但该地区进行油气租赁威胁北极熊的生存。阿拉斯加的野
生动物管理人员做了一系列的努力来保护北极熊的巢穴,但是还需要更多的努力来监控北极
熊的巢穴。
5.Why does the author mention polar bear mothers in paragraph 1?
A.To attract sympathy for the polar bears.
B.To condemn human activities that damage nature.
C.To show the severe environment polar bears live in.
D.To explain polar bears’unwillingness to leave their dens.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,北极熊妈妈不愿意离开兽穴是为了保护它们的幼
崽,所以作者在第一段提到北极熊妈妈是为了解释它们不愿意离开兽穴的原因,故选D。6.What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A.Pursuit of economic interest threatens polar bears’existence.
B.Protective measures were not considered important in the past.
C.Human activities have led to the reduction of offshore pack ice.
D.The development of petrol industry has forced the bears to leave.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,随着近海浮冰的减少,迫使北极熊在更接近石油
工业活动的地区建立自己的巢穴,但随着人类对油气租赁的兴趣增加,人类会在此进行油气
开采,这就威胁着北极熊在该地区所建立的巢穴,因此人们对经济利益的追求威胁着北极熊
的生存。故选A。
7.What is Larson’s attitude towards the regulation of human activities in Alaska?
A.Approving. B.Critical.

A.Attention should be paid to protecting polar bears.
B.Technology should be applied to identify polar bears.

答案 C
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了近海浮冰的减少,迫使北极熊在更接近
石油工业活动的地区建立自己的巢穴,但该地区的油气租赁威胁北极熊的生存。阿拉斯加的
野生动物管理人员做了一系列的努力来保护北极熊的巢穴,但是还需要更多的努力来监控北
极熊的巢穴。所以C项符合文章主旨。故选C。
