Module 6 Animals in dangerA dead polar bear found on the Arctic island has shocked experts who say climate change may be to blame for the animals death. The starved polar bear in Norway was said to be in good health in April when the Norwegian Polar Institute examined and tagged it. However, the animal was reduced to skin and bones by the time a group of explorers happened to find his body in July. “From his lying position in death the bear appears to simply have starved and died where he dropped，” polar bear expert Dr. Ian Stirling told The Guardian. “He had no any remaining fat, having been reduced to little more than skin and bones.”Stirling believes the bear starved to death as a result of a lack of sea ice, which the animals use as a platform for hunting seals. That may also explain why the 16yearold male bear was found about 155 miles north of where it was seen in April.Arctic sea ice reached a record low in 2012, according to a report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which pointed to continued signs of climate change. 阅读障碍词be to blame应受责备tag vt.加标签于n标签release v& n释放，发布.Match the word with its meaning.1endangerA保护区；保护圈2reserve B灭绝的；绝种的3struggle C值钱4protect D保护5worth E(某事发生的)准确地点；现场6spot F使处于险境；危及7condition G战斗8meanwhile H(s)环境；情况9extinct I挣扎；斗争10battle J同时答案：15FAIDC610EHJBG.Write down the meaning of phrases in each sentence.1All roads are blocked by the heavy snow, so the passengers are in danger. 在危险中2Thanks to your help, we finished the task ahead of schedule.幸亏，由于3This figure increases to 72 percent during summer vacation.增加到4Prices vary according to the quantity ordered.按照5He was hit by a truck and died on the spot.当场6Short hair and short skirts came into fashion at about the same time.开始流行7.
