阅读下面短文，理解大意，然后从各小题的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，使短文连贯完整。Most polar bears (北极熊) could disappear by the end of the century because of global warming, scientists
say.
According to a study in Nature Climate (气候) Change, the number of most polar bears will 11
rapidly (快速地) by 2080. There are two reasons. One is that the sea ice is melting (融化). Polar bears catch seals
(海豹) to eat on the ice. 12 ice, they have to stay on land. But there is no 13 food on land to support so
many polar bears. The animals could die from hunger. The other reason is that mother bears may not be fat enough
to 14 milk for their babies, so some bears could stop having babies.
Polar bears are 15 land animals that eat meat on the planet. They help control other kinds of animals.
Losing them would break the balance of their living place.
The Arctic is the 16 to about 25,000 polar bears. Arctic sea ice usually melts in spring and summer,
then grows in winter. But now, the 17 is taking longer to grow back. Scientists say the Arctic is warming
twice as fast as the rest of the planet.
The study also shows 18 it is possible to slow Arctic melting. Greenhouse gases (温室气体) could
lead to climate change. In order to avoid creating greenhouse gases, the world should try to stop burning coal and
riding in cars.
Saving the bears is 19 us. Holland, one of the writers of the study, says, “I believe there is hope, but
humans need to act 20 to make that hope come true.” Let’s take action to protect our earth and save polar
bears.
11．A．develop B．fall C．rise D．improve

13．A．enough B．good C．sweet D．delicious
14．A．protect B．progress C．prepare D．produce(生产)
15．A．the largest B．the loveliest C．the simplest D．the luckiest
16．A．room B．family C．house D．home

In winter, the sun sets shortly after school is over. However, in summer, the sun doesn’t set until late in the
day. Do you miss the long summer days? Is there a place where the sun never sets?
Really, there is such a place! If you want to get as much sunlight as possible during the summer, you need
to head north. How far north? Try the Arctic Circle (北极圈)!
In summer, the sun does not set anywhere inside the Arctic Circle. Periods of constant sunshine can last for
up to six months.
There are several countries with areas (地区) within the Arctic Circle or near the Circle. People call such
areas “the land of the midnight sun”. In summer, the sun is still in the sky past midnight in these areas. Such
countries include Finland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland. One third of Finland’s land lies north of the Arctic
Circle. At the country’s most northerly point, the sun does not set at all for 60 days during the summer.If you really love the sun, you might consider a spring or summer vacation to Svalbard, Norway. The sun
doesn’t set there from around April 19 to August 23 every year.
The opposite (相反的) phenomenon to “midnight sun” is called “polar night”. It is when it stays dark
outside all day long. People who live within the Arctic Circle are used to (习惯于) the constant sunlight or
darkness. However, newcomers or visitors may have trouble sleeping, especially when the sun shines all night
long.
24．Which of the following statement about “the midnight sun” is NOT true?
A．It happens in winter. B．It means the sun never sets.
C．It appears in the Arctic Circle. D．It can last for up to half a year.
25．How many countries with the midnight sun are mentioned in the passage?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.

Sarah the seagull(海鸥) and her mum lived in New York by the sea.
Every day Sarah and her mum would fly over the waves, diving in to eat the small fish that swam in the
shallow(浅的) water. Sometimes people would feed Sarah and her mother a sandwich or some potato chips. They
always had a lot to eat. At night, Sarah and her mother would rest under the roof(屋顶) of a nearby building. It
was a quite warm place to live in.
But one day it started to get colder. The little fish that were always swimming in the waves were a lot
harder to find. There were no more people coming to the beach, so no one was there to feed Sarah and her mother
any sandwiches or chips.
“It is time to fly south for the winter,” said Sarah’s mum. “Why?” asked Sarah. “Because it has got too cold
here,” explained Sarah’s mum. “There is no food, and it will soon get even colder.” “________” said Sarah.
“Don’t worry,” said Sarah’s mum. “We will come back when it is warm again. We are birds. We can change where
we live and still be happy. We can have more than one home.”
So Sarah and her mum said goodbye to the beach and flew away. They flew and flew, until they were out of
the cold and back into the warm weather. They flew all the way to Miami, Florida.
There, they found a new beach. It was filled with fish, and there were lots of people to give themsandwiches and chips. Sarah’s mum even found a new roof for them to sleep under.
“I like this other home,” said Sarah. “It is warm, and we have food. This is a nice place too.”
“I told you it would be nice,” said Sarah’s mum. “And when it gets warmer in New York again, we will go
back. That is the nice part about being a bird. We can fly to new places whenever we want.”

Recently, Nima Rinji Sherpa from Nepal completed his goal by climbing the 8,027-metre Mount
Shishapangma in China’s Xizang Autonomous Region. The 18-year-old teenager has become the youngest
climber to reach the top of the world’s 14 highest mountains. The 14 mountains Nima climbed, known as the
“8,000ers”, are each at least 8,000 metres tall. Climbing all 14 is such a difficult and dangerous challenge that
only a few people have managed to complete it.
Nima is a Sherpa. Sherpas are a group of people from Nepal known for their climbing skills. They guide
climbers from other countries, carry heavy objects and set up safety equipment (安全设备). While foreign
climbers often receive most of the attention for their achievements, Sherpas do much of the hard work in the same
dangerous conditions. Nima hopes to bring some of that attention back to Sherpas.
Although Nima comes from a family of climbers, he didn’t start climbing seriously until he was 16. He
climbed his first 8,000er, Mount Manaslu, in 2022. Nima climbed Mount Qomolangma, the world’s tallest
mountain, earlier this year.
Nima planned to climb Mount Shishapangma last year, but an avalanche (雪崩) at the time killed four
people, including his friend and teacher. He stopped his climb and focused instead on helping other climbers.
“Climbing is a hard sport. It’s about who can suffer the most when times are the worst,” he said. This year, Nima
returned to Mount Shishapangma, ready to complete his challenge. He said he was thinking of his friend as hereached the top of the mountain.
Nima says he hopes his successes will make people more aware of how important Sherpas are to climbing.
Yet, he aims to be more than a guide, saying, “I want to be one of the best climbers in mountaineering.”
32．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．Nima is famous for climbing the highest mountains.
B．Sherpas are skilled climbers but get little attention.
C．Foreign climbers are more skilled than Sherpas.
D．Climbers are often in the face of dangerous conditions.
33．Which mountain did Nima climb first among the “8,000ers”?
A．Mount Shishapangma. B．Mount Manaslu. C．Mount Qomolangma. D．Mount Everest.
34．Why did Nima stop his climb last year?
A．He wanted to train other climbers. B．He needed to set up equipment.
C．He ran out of food and water. D．He met a deadly avalanche.
35．What is Nima’s aim in mountaineering?
A．To become a full-time mountain guide. B．To bring people’s attention back to Sherpas.
C．To be one of the best climbers in the field. D．To help more climbers from other countries.
