The ocean is surrounded by frozen ground. There are few people or trees, but to polar bears, the Arctic(北极)is home.Polar bear
10、s have thick fur, big paws and other features that make them well prepared for life in their tough environment. In fact, they need the Arctic sea ice for survival. But climate change is causing larger and larger areas of summer sea ice to melt (融化). Experts say that if warming patterns continue, the
11、 Arctic could be free of summer sea ice by 2050. That may cause two-thirds of the worlds 20,000 polar bears to be gone by then too.Polar bears cant survive for long on land. Seals are their main source of food. The only place where polar bears can hunt seals is on the ice. (79) Although these bears
12、are strong swimmers, they are no match for lightning swift seals in the water. A polar bear has brilliantly clever strategies to overcome this disadvantage. In winter the bear waits motionless beside a seals breathing hole, which is a narrow tunnel through the ice. Often many hours pass before the s
13、eal comes up for air and the bear kills it with a powerful blow of its paw. In summer, the polar bears that live on land eat very little and wait for the sea ice to return.With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less
14、 sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs(大片浮冰), and they cant always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bear cabs to become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.Steven

19、e, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didnt know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, its an active proces
20、s of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill thats as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that
21、lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicingtexts spoken aloud
22、. The other half, possessing the same initial (最初的) skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given detailed instruction on how to listen. It mined out that the second group “significantly outperformed”(胜过) the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skill
23、ed learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get out of it. They set a goal for their listening and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to
24、 “listen out for” whats important or relevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They dont allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what the
25、y dont understand and make inferences about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the context (语境) of the talk, the identity of the speaker, and so on.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.
