people visited the northern alaska village of kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. the far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat of polar bears. as ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. more bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making home in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. u.s. fish and wildlife service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. as more attention was given to the plight(困境) of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to kaktovik.the village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said jennifer reed, of the arctic national wildlife refuge. “today were talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year,” reed said. most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. bruce inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said hes been offering polar bear tours since 2004. most of his clients(客户) are from china and europe, as well as from the lower 48 u.s. states. many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. the villagers have benefited a lot from that. in turn, they provide more effective protection for polar bears with financial support from tourism development. 28. what causes more polar bears to stay on land in kaktovia?a. food shortage. b. climate change.c. habitats movement to shore. d. their preference for land.29. how did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?a. excited. b. puzzled.c. concerned. d. shocked.30. what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a. hotels in kaktovik are in demand in autumn.b. kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.c. inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.d. tourism affects the balance of nature.31. which saying can describe the text?a. the fittest can survive.b. after a storm comes a calm.c. there is always opportunity in crisis.d. every coin has two sides. dif you have tried to ripen a piece of fruit by sticking it in a bag with a banana, you have used the power of ethylene(乙烯). ethylene is an important plant hormone(激素). in banana and many other fruits, production of ethylene rises when the fruit is ready to ripen. this causes a hard, green, tasteless fruit to change into a soft, showy, sweet thing thats ready-to-eat.scientists have studied ethylenes role in plants for more than a century and the food industry has long used the gas to control ripening. but how fruits control production of the hormone was unknown. now scientists have found a master switch that leads the plant to start ethylene production when the time is, well, ripe.in a study published in nature plants, researchers found that before a fruit is ready to ripen, this master switch prevents ripening-related genes from being turned on before its time.turning on the master switch “is like breaking the glass on a fire alarm,” says study co-author james giovannoni, a scientist at cornell university. “once you hit the switch, things really start happening.” the switch is important because ripening too early can have disastrous consequences for the plant- it might miss its chance to reproduce.when the plant hits the ripening switch, some genes become active. this finally makes the fruit ready-to-eat. in some fruits, turning the ripening switch also leads to activation of machinery for making ethylene. ripening fruit doesnt happen in a moment; it happens over time. once the fruit starts producing ethylene, the hormone turns on everything that needs to be turned on, keeping or even speeding up the ripening process. we now know that for fruits like apples, bananas, pears and tomatoes, this happens when the master switch is pressed. for fruits that ignore ethylene, like grapes, pineapples and many berries, the bag trick wont work.32. which of the following is responsible for ripening fruit?a. a group of hormones in a plant.b. the physical change of a plant.c. a kind of liquid in a plant .d. certain genes in a plant.33. why does giovannoni make the comparison in paragraph 4?a. to explain the key role of the master switch. b. to explain the advantages of the master switch.c. to show the process of studying the master switch. d. to show the difficulty of turning on the master switch.34. what happens after the master switch is turned on?a. the fruit stops the ripening process.b. the fruit becomes ripe very quickly.c. the plant begins to produce ethylene.d. the plant misses its chance to reproduce.35. what is the purpose of the text?a. to solve a problem.b. to make a prediction.c. to give a practical advice.d. to present a research finding.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

buying snacks and drinks from the vending machines._36_ as stated on the new standards for the national schools, in order for a snack to be sold in a school vending machine, it is required to meet
