The top of the world is a wonderland. In winter, the temperature often falls to -30° F and the sun never rises. The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic(北极)is home.
(78)
Polar bears have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment.
In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt(融化). Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the world’s 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.
Polar bears can’t survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice.(79)
Although these bears are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water.
A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seal’s breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the seal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to return.
With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs(大片浮冰), and they can’t always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cubs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.
Steven Amstrup is the chief scientist cf Polar Bears International. The group aims to save the bears and their home. "The more people who see polar bears and understand their difficult situation, the better the chance we’ll alter our warming path in time to save them," he says. [br] According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、Starving polar bears are increasingly coming into villages, where they may be killed either for food or safety.
B、Polar bears can spend their entire lives on land if the sea ice melts completely.
C、Two-thirds of the world’s polar bears may disappear by 2050 as global warming continues.
D、The growing distance between ice packs is not a problem for polar bears, because they are excellent swimmers.
答案
C
解析
正误判断题。根据文章第二段最后两句:专家说如果温室效应持续下去,到2050年北极将没有夏季海冰。那也将导致世界上2万只北极熊中的2/3死亡。可知选择C。
