子主题:动物生存策略
语篇类型:说明文
难度:★★★
Ryrkaypiy, a village with about 700 people, is located in the northeast of Russia. Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, it has to brave both the Arctic's cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area's polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy. Only a few bears come near to the village now and then.
But in 2019, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever.
Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing.
Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy.
In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears.
Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears.
1. Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy in 2019?
2. What can polar bears do on the sea ice?
3. When do polar bears normally go onto dry land?
4. What will probably happen to polar bears if there is not enough ice?
5. What can you do to help protect polar bears?

【分析】本题为英语阅读理解题，需根据短文内容逐一解答问题。解题思路为：先通读短文把握主旨，再针对每个问题的关键词，定位到短文中的对应语句，提取准确信息作答；第5题为开放性问题，需结合环保常识给出合理可行的措施。
【解析】1. 定位短文第二段第一句“But in 2019, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food.”，可知2019年北极熊去Ryrkaypiy是为了寻找食物，故答案为In search of food。2. 定位短文第三段第二句“The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish.”，可知北极熊在海冰上可以休息和捕鱼，故答案为They can have a rest and catch fish。3. 定位短文第四段第一句“Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer...”，可知北极熊通常在夏季上岸，故答案为In summer。4. 定位短文第五段第二句“If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears.”，可知若没有足够的冰，北极熊可能会消失，故答案为They will probably disappear. /There will be no polar bears。5. 本题为开放性问题，结合环保常识，可提出如减少能源使用减缓全球变暖等合理措施，故答案为We can tell people to use less energy to slow down the warming of the earth.（答案不唯一）
