26、Located in northern Manitoba on the west side of Hudson Bay, Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere. But polar bears like it that way. They spend summers on the tundra (苔原) around Churchill. In the fall, they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form. Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt ringed seals their favorite food. October and November are the best polar-bear viewing times. From tundra vehicles, visitors to Churchill observe the bears. Some enjoy day trips or stay overnight on large tundra vehicles that have private cabins and eating facilities. Others stay at a wilderness lodge on the bears’ migration route to view the vigorous creatures. These lodges can be reached only by air and feature luxury food and living arrangements.
Despite the large number of polar bears that visit Churchill each year, there is growing concern about the animals’ future. Because the earth is getting warmer, the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in the spring. As a result, polar bears have less time to hunt for seals. Polar bears can also find smaller animals, bird eggs and berries on land, but this kind of food is not sufficient to support the animals.
Polar bears are also affected by plastic and chemicals that get into the ocean. A research project carried out in northern Europe has found high concentrations of both plastic and chemicals in the tissue of polar bears. These materials and substances can damage the animals’ internal organs, especially when the animals are not yet mature. Many people are researching polar bear health. Their goal is to gather the information that is needed to help save these animals.

27、Attitude actually is mental energy and from the moment you awake in the morning until you fall asleep at night, you are continuously producing this mental energy, or attitude. There is never a time when you can have a neutral attitude. Your attitude right now is either positive or negative.
Your attitude determines your altitude. For example, as a plane is in the air, it has an altitude indicator. The indicator tells the pilot in which direction the plane is going, up or down. Just like the plane, you too have an altitude indicator and you’re the pilot of your plane. The feeling that you gain when something is wrong or what you are doing is not right serves as your altitude indicator. We all have an attitude to our thinking which determines our destiny.
In fact, attitude is a matter of choice. It determines the size of our dreams and influences our determination when we face new challenges and the thing is, no one can control your attitude but you. No one can make us angry. We make ourselves angry when we give in to that control of our attitude and when people do things to anger us. All it does is put our attitude to the tests. We have that choice every morning of what kind of attitude we are going to have for the rest of the day.
Attitude is everything. To begin with every problem is an adventure. To fall, rise and try again is what we call adventure and that’s the real fun of life. Failure is not a bad thing but another chance for success. Dreaming of becoming successful is not enough. There’ ll be a lot of things you hate doing, but you have to do them all and that’s a success.
With a positive attitude, you’ll have the ability to be happier every day, make others around you happier, and live a good life.
【1】What does the author want to stress with the example in Paragraph 2?
A.Attitude’s role in people’s future development.

A.They’re trying to control our feeling.
B.They’re testing our attitude.
C.They’ re challenging our bottom line.
D.They’ re reminding us of possible failure.
【3】What does the author think of the adventure in life?
A.Dangerous and tiring.
B.Annoying and understandable.
C.Difficult but meaningful.
D.Exciting and necessary.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.How to achieve a positive attitude?
B.How is attitude formed?
C.What is attitude?
D.What’s the power of a positive attitude?
28、Many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and help control body weight.
Any pet owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people (half of them were pet owners) while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. People completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don’t judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog may also have an effect on your body weight. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying two groups of fat people who were put on a diet-and-exercise program: one group with pet dogs, and the other without. On average,dog owners lost about 11 pounds,or 5% of their body weight; While those without dogs lost about 8 pounds. The pet owners, said researchers, got more exercise overall (mostly with their dogs) and found it worth doing.
【1】What does the text mainly discuss?
A. People’s opinions of keeping pets.
B. How pets help people calm down.
C. What pets bring to their owners.
D. Pets can help in medical research.
【2】We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if_________.
A. he has a pet companion
B. he has less stress of work
C. he often dose mental arithmetic
D. he is taken care of by his family
【3】According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around?
A. They are less nervous.
B. They are in higher spirits.
C. They become more patient.
D. They have lower blood pressure.
【4】The research mentioned in the last paragraph suggests that_________.
A. people with dogs did more exercise
B. dogs lost the same weight as people did
C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful
29、 For almost as long as people have walked on Earth, they have looked up at the moon and wondered: How did the moon get there? How long has it been there? Scientists have studied questions. And now, a group of researchers from California have an answer. Based on their studies, they think the moon is 4. 51 billion years old.
For years, researchers have been studying the many rocks American astronauts brought back from the moon between 1969 and 1972. The early rock studies led many scientists to think the moon was formed long ago—about 4.3 billion years ago.
Scientists believe the moon was created when a huge rocky object about the size of Mars struck a very young Earth. Then some of the pieces from that violent crash came together in space to form the moon. But that estimated (估计的) age, 4.3 billion years, created a problem for scientists. That is because it does not leave much time for life to get started and develop on planet Earth.
Researchers wanted a better, more exact estimate of when the moon was formed. They found their answer by studying a moon rock brought back to Earth in 1971. They looked closely for signs of a matter in the rock called zircon (锆石). And they found out that the moon is actually older. The moon didn’t form 4.3 billion years ago, but it formed at least 4.51 billion years ago.
Those extra years solves the problem of life on Earth. And this solution gives scientists a better understanding of how life formed here and how it might form on other planets.
The new information means the moon was orbiting Earth just 60 million years after the birth of our solar system. Then the Earth had much more time to cool down, form the atmosphere form the water and then finally had all the conditions met for life.
【1】How did the moon come into being?
A.By breaking away from Earth.
B.By a solar storm caused by Earth.
C.By gathering other small planets in space.
D.By a big crash between a huge object and Earth.
【2】What’s the problem with the estimated age of the moon before?
A.It is based on a false rock.
B.It led to a wrong idea on the birth of Earth.
C.It doesn’t explain the origin of life on Earth.
D.It was misled by the rocks brought from the moon.
【3】What was the key factor in the study?
A.A matter called zircon.
B.The previous conclusion.
C.A theory about life on Earth.
D.The understanding of the moon.
【4】What is the best title of this text?
A.The Moon Brought Life to Earth.
B.I he Moon Is 4. 51 Billion Years Old.
C.New Discovery Puzzles Scientists.
D.Man Is Always Curious about the Moon.
