largest terrestrial carnivore(陆地食肉动物), the polar bear is the king of the great white north. adult males can measure more than 9 feet in length and weigh between 770 and 1430 pounds. the polar bear has a strong body while their heads are narrow with small, rounded ears. polar bears can be found in northern canada, greenland, norway and russia, and there have been reports that polar bear tracks have been found as far north as the north pole. the 5 000 000-square-mile range of the polar bear circles the arctic and contains pieces of open water where seals are easily caught.polar bears live on the annual arctic sea ice that provides a platform from which they can hunt. they hunt seals on the sea ice by breaking into seal dens in the sea ice. the dens arent visible from above, but seeing is less important than smelling to a polar bear-with their sharp sense of smell, polar bears can sense the breathing holes of seals in their dens beneath the snow and ice. as the southern edge of the arctic ice cap melts in summer, polar bears are forced to stay on land and spend their summers fasting(禁食), living off body fat stored from hunting in spring and winter.with about 22 000 polar bears living in the wild, the species is not endangered at the moment, but its future is far from certain. climate change is causing the disappearance of sea ice from which polar bears hunt seals. sea ice in the arctic is melting earlier and forming later each year. people have reached an agreement that controls the hunting of polar bears and directs each nation to protect their habitats, but it does not protect the bears against the biggest man-made threat to their survival: global warming. if current warming trends continue, scientists believe that polar bears may disappear within 100 years. 4. polar bears search fro seals mainly through their _. a. eyes b. ears c. noses d. necks5. the underlined word “dens” in paragraph 3 most probably means” _”. a. the skin of the wild animals b. the home of wild animalsc. the breathing hole of seals d. water of the deep sea6. which of the following statements is true?a. a polar bear measures at least 9 feet long.b. polar bears can be found in both the north pole and the south pole.c. polar bears stop hunting in summer because seals are hidden at that time.d. polar bears may die out as a result of climate change. c it was mothers day. he was driving

usually quiet, but during the interview she tried hard to act against her nature. she smiled a lot and talked in a lively manner. when asked why she wanted to work in the company, she said the job would enable her to meet a lot of interesting people. then she added jokingly: who knows? i might even meet my future husband. chow wanted to beat herself up the moment she stepped out of the interview room. it came out so wrong, she says. now the interviewers will think of me as one of those women who dont have any career ambition and just want to get married and settle down.” saying too much or oversharing happens to every one of us. in the time of social media, sharing every detail of your life is almost expected and encouraged. but it isnt all social medias fault. experts say oversharing often happens when we are trying subconsciously to control our anxiety, according to a wall street joumal column. chows is a typical case of “self-adjustment aimed at fighting her own anxiety. it happens like this: when having a conversation, we want to sound amusing and interesting. so we use a lot of mental energy trying to manage the other persons impression of us. the effort required to do this leaves less brainpower to think over what we say and to whom, says the wall street joumal. this explains why we sometimes suddenly say embarrassing things to people we want to impress most, whether its a first date, the boss or our future in-laws. it leads to embarrassing situations and is the perfect material for comedy movies. so how do you stop yourself from saying too much? simple: stop and think before you open your mouth.11. in the interview, chow showed her_. a. lively manner b. career aim c. unusual ability d. rich experience12. from paragraph 3, we can know

prevent herself from being anxious c. create a pleasant atmosphere d. follow her nature as it is14. the embarrassing situations in the conversation are caused by lack of_. a.consideration b. determination c .interest d.motivation15. which of the following can match the authors opinion? a. practice makes perfect. b. once bitten, twice shy. c. well begun is half done. d. think twice before you act.第二部分：七选五(每小题2分, 满分10分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上写出答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。smiling is a great way to make yourself stand out while helping your body to function better. smile to improve your
