          A study conducted in the Svalbard Archipelago of;Norway showed the first recorded case of polar bears seeking out white-beaked dolphins(白喙斑纹海豚) for prey(猎物) . Warming waters have allowed the dolphins to travel north to an area they would normally avoid until summertime. “It is likely that new species are appearing in the diet of polar bears due to climate change because new species are finding their way north,” study author Jon Aars said.

          Arctic waters have warmed at a rate twice that of southern waters,putting the ice-loving bears in trouble. Polar bears typically sit on large pieces of ice to hunt swimming seals,but without the platform of ice to sit on,the bears have to look elsewhere for food. Two ice-free winters attracted the dolphins into the Arctic region,where their food has also shown up thanks to warm water. But a sudden influx (汇集)of ice trapped the dolphins,making them easy prey for hungry plar bears.

          The scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute first discovered this eating habit in April,2014 and documented another five cases in the following year. Most of the bears appeased well-fed,although one was visibly thin and found covering a dead dolphin with ice as a means to hide his food source from other animals —another strategy that scientists had not yet seen before.

         It' s unlikely that there are enough dolphins to feed the large population of polar bears. And as the bears were only able to hunt the dolphins because of a sudden storm,their consumption could be a fluke(使幸) .

         Polar bears living in Canada and Alaska have been found traveling north to live in the icy regions they need,but Svalbard is about as far north as it gets before the water becomes too deep to serve as a livable habitat,leaving the bears with nowhere else to go.

9. What does Jon Aars think is to blame for polar bears' eating dolphins?

   A. Loss of habitat:    B. No other prey.

   C. Warmer climate.      D. Shorter summertime.

10. What do we learn about today's  polar bears from Paragraph 2 ?

   A. They fmd it harder to hunt seals.

   B. They have more food than before.

   C. They face more competitors than before.

   D. They are troubled by a sudden influx of ice.

11. It is very rare for a polar bear to.

   A. appear well-fed

   B. get nothing to eat

   C. hide food from other animals

   D. share food with other polar bears

12. After polar bears reach Svalbard,they .

   A. get no dolphins to eat

   B. cannot go any further northward

   C. hardly want to go anywhere else

   D. make it a comfortable livable habitat

           Tourists and animal lovers hoping to see a bear in Sequoia National Park this fall probably stand a better chance of spotting one in this tiny town at the park’s  entrance. Three Rivers is crawling with hungry bears driven down from the mountains by drought in search of food to fatten up for winter. Everyone seems to have photos of the creatures on their phones.

           There's no doubt a bear invasion is going on in this town of 2 ,200 that is home to a mix of park employees,businessmen, artists and so on. It is also a place for retirement for Hollywood types that include Anjelica Huston and William Shatner. Most seem delighted by the visiting black bears.

           The four-year drought has destroyed the berry crop in the Sierra Nevada and led to fewer flcwws (橡子),forcing the bears into the valleys carved by the branches of the Kaweah River that give this town its name.

           Bears have climbed on roofs for acoms and one was found exploring a bathroom under restoration in a house.A bear tore apart the outer walls of a resident's pump house and a music studio to get at acoms.

           The Kaweah Commonwealth reported that bears have been slaughtered,but game wardens (野生动物保把区的管理员) said it was a lie because of a lack of evidence,such as names of suspects,vehicle descriptions and dead bears. The account,however,has caused conflict between nature lovers and those who think it's unbelievable. I'm upset and sad,and I just question,‘Why?”,said Kathleen McCleary. “I don't see any reason to shoot them."

13. Bears have come down from the mountains because.

   A. the park doesn't feed them

   B. they want to seek for water

   C. they lack food resources there

   D. they need a warm place for winter

14. What does the underlined word ^slaughtered^ in the last paragraph probably mean?

   A. Defeated. B. Limited.

   G. Raised.   D. Killed.

15. The author writes the text mainly to .

   A. show where to find bears

   B. call on people to protect bears

   C. introduce a bear invasion in a town

   D. explain how to solve the problem of bears

16. The text probably comes from.

   A. a lesson plan         B. a news report

   C. a tourist guidebook   D. a geography textbook
