driving power in Josh’s being well again.

The world is getting warm quickly. The last ten years was the hottest ever recorded according to ClimateChange Service. The ice cap in the Arcticgot smaller from (气候)(北极)2. 44 million square miles in 2010 to 1. 6 million square miles in 2019, says NASA’s Earth Observatory(观测站). Of course, arctic ice isn’t the only thing that’s getting smaller. Why ice matters

Polar bears need sea ice in order to raise their babies and hunt(捕猎)for food. The sea ice is their habitat—a place where they usually live. Without it, they’re going hungry and their numbers are getting smaller. As reported in 2015, they’re getting “clever” to live on. One way was that bears managed to catch a special kind of dolphin they don’t usually eat and

试卷第5页,共10页

swam into their habitat, ate some of it, then put the rest in snow to eat later. This is a habit the bears don’t often have. Other food appears

Polar bears mainly eat sealsbut researchers see polar bears in the western Hudson (海豹)Bay eating snow geeseeggs. A polar bear needs to eat 88 eggs to get the same calories (雪雁)from eating one seal. But this cannot keep the bears in the long run; besides, bears eating eggs will make snow geese populations become smaller. Warming weather is also driving polar bears south, to look for food in human rubbish. Another problem is that polar bears are waking up from winter sleep earlier and earlier, which means they need more food than ever. When a bear wakes up, it is usually hungry and has little energy to collect and get the food. More scientists join in

Without sea ice, there is no sea ice ecosystem(生态系统)and losing that ecosystem means losing polar bears. They can go without food for about 220 days, but if it is more than 220 days, it will cut down their chances to live on. Scientists are reporting more deaths of polar bears because of it.

28.What do polar bears mainly eat?

A.Seals.

B.Dolphins.

C.Geese.

D.Eggs.

29.What do you know about polar bears from the passage?

A.They always like to put food in snow.

B.They are changing their eating habits to live on. C.They will die without food for less than 220 days.

D.The number of polar bears is increasing because of climate change. 30.Polar bears are facing the following problems except _______.

A.losing their habitat C.moving to the north

B.less food that they can get D.less sleeping time in winter

Goji Berries

The goji(枸杞)berry is a bright orange-red berry and it comes from China. In Asia, people use goji berries to try to treat many common health problems because they believe goji berries are rich in nutrients. Some studies using goji berry juice found possible (营养物)benefits(好处)of it. For example, people say they develop a feeling of well-being and calmness because of it. Others report better sports performance and quality of sleep. Some people even become thinner while eating it. But it’s not clear if goji berries are better than other kinds of berries.

Chinese people have long believed that it has medicinal powers. It’s true that the ancient goji berry hnas long been part of Chinese culture. But times are changing for this simple(简单的)berry. Now it is being thought as a superfood all over the world.

Asia’s younger generation(一代人), the Gen Z, are embracing(接受) the goji berry in their own ways. Members of Gen Z, who were born around 1997-2012, are now buying “wellness kettles(养生壶)”for their goji berry tea. Their parents might recognize(认识)these as traditional soup kettles. According to a 2019 study on Gen Z in China, this generation sees living a healthy life as the most important thing, even over money, job, personal enjoyment and having a family.

The power of the goji berry doesn’t look as if it will dim anytime soon as there were a large number of goji berries sold in China during the sales on November 11th this year.

The berry has also become popular in foreign countries. People in the West are paying up to US $10 for a small bag of the superfood, around three times its price in Asia.

Some famous people such as Amrita Banta has seen young Asians embrace a healthier way of living: “There is in China a renewed pride in many traditional products and practices,” she said. “Yet, the popularity of goji berries comes on the back of a global awareness(意识)of their benefits. It is glad to see China becoming so proud of its past, yet so connected to the rest of the world.“

31.Why are the Asia’s younger generation embracing the goji berry?

A.Because their parents love the goji berry.

B.Because the goji berry goes with the wellness kettles. C.Because the goji berry is a traditional Chinese medicine. D.Because they believe that the goji berry is good for health. 32.The word “dim” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A.The goji berry is more popular in the rest of the world than in China. B.Thanks to the goji berry, Western people embrace a healthier way of life.

They eat wild animals, plants, nuts and insects. They hunt with bows and arrows. (弓箭)There are lots of dangerous snakes, spiders and scorpions(蝎子). There are lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. It’s one of southern Africa’s hottest places, and there is often no water. Then they have to get their water from plants. When they are ill, there are no hospitals. The people have to get their medicine from plants too.

They are the San, the last people living in the Kalahari. The San people have another name—“bush people”. Their way of life is very simple, but they know more about animals and plants than most people do. The San people live in small groups of 25-50. They live in huts—little “houses” that they make from wood and grass. There are no schools for the children. Children learn from the older people in the group about how to live in a dangerous place like the Kalahari. In the evenings, the groups of people often sit around a fire and tell stories. Many of the stories are about animals and how to hunt them.

The Kalahari is a big area of bushland in southern Africa. It has got two parts. There is less rain in the southern part than there is in the northern part, so the south is drier. There are fewer plants and animals there, and it’s a lot more difficult for people to live. But when it rains at the end of the summer, the land becomes greener and more beautiful. For a few weeks,

there are millions of little flowers and even butterflies! But soon, the grass and the bushes get dry and turn brown. Then life becomes more difficult again for people and animals. 34.Do the San people hunt with bows and arrows? 35.Where do the San people get water? 36.What do the children learn from the older people? 37.Which part of the Kalahari is wetter, the southern part or the northern part? 38.What is the passage mainly about?
