【題目】閱讀理解
Five meteorologists (氣象學(xué)家) who were trapped for two weeks after polar bears surrounded their weather station are now able to leave after the creatures were chased away. Their supervisor told NBC News early Wednesday.
Russian officials had feared the siege could last for another month, the time it would take to reach the islands in the Kara Sea, high in the Arctic Circle. But on Tuesday night a research ship took a detour (繞道) to assist those weathermen, station supervisor Vasily Shevchenko told NBC News. The ship run by Russia's state-run oil firm Rosneft frightened away the bears using its helicopter, before resupplying the weather station with more food and puppies (幼犬) . The puppies are not yet big enough to deter the bears, but the station is planning to draft in a replacement adult guard dog as soon as possible.
Some of the bears had taken to sleeping directly outside the windows of remote outpost. There was no risk of the researchers starving because they had a year's worth of food, but they were forced to take dangerous trips to a nearby building, holding a gun for protection, according to Shevchenko.
Polar bears are an endangered species. In Russia, it's a crime to shoot them unless in self-defense. The bears usually leave the islands in the summer, but this time they were trapped by the melting ice, an apparent sign of climate change, according to Shevchenko. “They've stayed on the island because there is nowhere for them to go,” he said.
The animals suffer from global warming because it shrinks the floating ice that forms their main hunting ground. According to the environmental group the World Wide Fund for Nature, known as the WWF, this has got some polar bears to go near human habitats in search of food.

A.stop

C.protect
D.raise
（3）What made the bears trapped on the island according to the text?
A.Sea Pollution.
B.Climate change.
C.Humans' hunting.
D.Animals' hunting
（4）What can we infer from the text?
A.People in Russia can hunt bear for money.
B.The melting ice will kill all the polar bears.
C.The five meteorologists hated the bears very much.
D.WWF made some contributions to protecting polar bears.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道，介紹了5個(gè)氣象專家被北極熊圍困氣象站，最后在這些生靈被驅(qū)逐以后才能離開。因?yàn)槿�球變暖�?dǎo)致的冰層的融化，這些動(dòng)物狩獵困難，有的甚至不得不去人類居住地附近尋找食物。
（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“The ship run by Russia's state-run oil firm Rosneft frightened away the bears using its helicopter, before resupplying the weather station with more food and puppies (幼犬) .”可 知，研究船使用直升機(jī)嚇跑了北極熊。故選C。
（2）考查詞句猜測(cè)。根據(jù)畫線句句中的but可知，前后文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此推斷畫線句句意是：這些 幼犬沒有足夠大到能夠阻止這些北極熊，氣象站只是正在計(jì)劃盡快替代成年護(hù)衛(wèi)犬。因此畫線詞deter 的詞義與stop意義相近。故選A。
（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“The bears usually leave the islands in the summer, but this time they were trapped by the melting ice, an apparent sign of climate change, according to Shevchenko.”可知，這些 北極熊被困在島上是因?yàn)槿�球變暖�?dǎo)致浮冰融化，也就是天氣變化最終導(dǎo)致它們被困在小島上。故選B。
（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“According to the environmental group the World Wide Fund for Nature, known as the WWF, this has got some polar bears to go near human habitats in search of food.”可知， 世界自然基金會(huì)得知許多北極熊去靠近人類棲息地方尋找食物，因此推斷這個(gè)基金會(huì)研究北極熊，為 保護(hù)北極熊做出了貢獻(xiàn)。故選D。
