【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Barack Obama，Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs－what do they have in common？They are，of course，all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site badoo.com，they all best illustrate(舉例說(shuō)明)the word “cool”．

But just what does it mean to say someone is “cool”？ Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.

Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century West African philosophy(哲學(xué))．“Cool” relates to ideas of grace (優(yōu)雅)under pressure.

“in Africa，”he writes，“coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness，silence，and life.”

The modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the US in the period after World War Ⅱ. “Postwar ‘cool' was in part an expression of war weariness...it went against the strict social rules of the time，”write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules：Anatomy of an Attitude.

But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause. Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. He always gets the girl，smokes cigarettes，wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies (欺凌弱小者)．In the movie，Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.

Today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics stars. Often in movies about schools，students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. This span>can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.

But many teenagers also think being smart is cool. Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.

“Call it the Harry Potterization of America－a time when being smart is the new cool，”writes journalist Joe Sunnen.

【1】Barack Obama，Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.

A．do very well in their studies

B．a(chǎn)re very skilled at sports

C．a(chǎn)re good at chess and other thinking games

D．have supernatural powers like Harry Potter

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?

A．It is generally considered “cool” to be independent-minded and not to follow the crowd.

B．“Cool” was used as early as the 15th century.

C．Disobeying one's parents and the authorities is considered “cool” among American young people nowadays.

D．Getting the first place in an exam can also be considered “cool”．

【5】What does the article mainly talk about?

A．The origin of the word “cool”．

B．The kinds of people who are “cool”．

C．The changing meaning of the word “cool”．

D．How to be a cool” person.

【題目】Polar bears depend on ice to hunt (獵取)for food in the Arctic Ocean. They climb up on the ice to look for seals and other animals. But scientists say sea ice is decreasing (減少)because of climate change. They say rising temperatures have reduced the area in which polar bears can hunt.

Recently, a number of studies found that future reductions of sea ice could result in a loss of many polar bears within fifty years. The studies found a direct link between sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and the health of polar bears. The scientists say the animals will disappear from the north coasts of Alaska and Russia in the next fifty years. The only polar bears to survive will be in Canada's far north and the west coast of Greenland.

The scientists found that almost two thirds of the world's nineteen polar bear populations will disappear from the earth by the middle of this century. The studies showed that three more groups of polar bears will disappear within seventy-five years.

Scientists say polar bears still can be saved. But they say the world must begin taking steps to reduce climate change to do this. The center for Biological Diversity says governments around the world need to reduce the release (釋放)of pollution like C02 gas.

Scientists say one step toward this goal would be to include polar bears on America's list of endangered species. Then the government would be able to make sure that industrial activities do not threaten their survival. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to examine the new findings when it considers whether polar bears should be included on the Endangered Species List.

【1】 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The living conditions of the polar bears are improving.

B. Almost two thirds of polar bears will disappear within seventy-five years.

C. The health of polar bears is directly connected with the sea ice.

D. The polar bears mainly feed on sea ice.

【2】 According to the passage, the number of the polar bears is directly decided by ______.

A. the climate change B. the amount of sea ice

C. C02 gas D. industrial activities

【3】 Whether polar bears should be included on America's Endangered Species List or not is decided by ______.

A. the United States Fish and Wildlife Service

B. the Center for Biological Diversity

C. the polar bears themselves

D. American government

【4】 This passage mainly tells us ______ .

A. the relationship between climate change and sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.

B. the influence of the weather change on the polar bears in the Arctic Ocean.

C. one step to save the endangered polar bears.

D. the fact that the number of the polar bears is decreasing.
