Section B. Multiple choice. (2%*10=20%)Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage OnePOLAR bears have patrolled the planet’s icy regions for millions of years longer than previously thought--riding outseveral episodes of global warming in that time. While this suggests their future might not be so bleak, it is no guarantee they will survive the melting occurring in the polar regions today.Charlotte Lindqvist of the University at Buffalo, New York, and an international team of researchers have just completed the most comprehensive analysis yet of the polar bear genome (基因组). The team looked at DNA from 23 living polar bears and a 110,000-year-old polar bear jawbone. Aided by comparisons with the genomes of brown and black bears, they found that polar bears first emerged as a separate species between four and five million years ago. Previous studies had suggested the species didn’t diverge (分化) from brown bears until much later-- perhaps just 600,000 years ago.The analysis also showed that polar and brown bears have sometimes interbred (杂交) since their initial divergence, and that populations of polar bears have been changing over the past million years in accordance with the climate. Polar bear numbers dropped during warm periods but bounced back with prolonged ice ages – most noticeably during a period of cooling between 800,000 and 600,000 years ago. The population looks set to fall again as melting pack ice forces polar bears back to the land-based habitats (栖息地) of brown bears, where interbreeding has recently been observed. Should extensive interbreeding occur, both polar and brown bear populations could decline with the emergence of a new hybrid (杂交的) species.Lindqvist says that the analysis reveals that polar bear DNA has lost diversity as population has decreased, drifted apart and become genetically isolated, suggesting today’s bears have less adaptability to the environmental change, habitat loss, pollution and diseases they now face.Earlier this year, Frank Hailer of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre in Frankfurt, Germany, and colleagues estimated that polar bears diverged from brown bears 600,000 years ago--a result that itself pushed back the evolutionary record of polar bears by about 450,000 years. However, Hailer says that the new results broadly are consistent with his team’s findings, which also suggested that polar bears may have evolved much earlier than the 600,000 year mark.(1) (单选题)What is the closest meaning of the phrase “riding out” (Para.1)?A.Skyrocketing.B.Seesawing.C.Surviving.D.Substituting.(2) (单选题)What was found in the research of polar bear genome according to the passage?A.Polar bears appeared as a separate species much earlier than we had thought.B.The DNA of living polar bears is very similar to that of a 110,000-year-old polar bear.C.Polar bears have survived the icy ages and will also survive the melting today.D.Polar bears diverged from brown bears perhaps just 600,000 years ago.(3) (单选题)When would populations of polar bears drop over the past million years according to the passage?A.When the climate became colder.B.After the initial divergence between polar and brown bears.C.During a period between 800,000 and 600,000 years ago.D.When polar bears were forced back to the land-based habitats.(4) (单选题)Why are the polar bears today less able to adapt themselves to the environment according to the passage?A.Because polar bears are isolated and cannot find new habitats.B.ecause polar bears are facing more difficulties nowadays.C.Because the DNA of polar bears has lost diversity.D.Because the interbreeding with brown bears has produced a new hybrid species.(5) (单选题)What can be inferred from this passage?A.Brown bear populations may increase, while polar bear populations decline.B.We are not sure that polar bears will survive the melting of polar regions.C.A new hybrid species of polar bears will have more adaptability to the environmental changes.D.The polar bear populations would increase when they began to interbreed with brown bears.

Vending machines (自动售货机) stocked with unhealthy snacks in leisure centres run the risk of fuelling children's being overweight, warn experts. Crisps and chocolate are on sale where children exercise despite being banned from schools and children's TV, the British Heart Foundation found (BHF). And children's meals on offer at the 35 places spot-checked were dominated by chips, sausages and burgers. The charity wants stricter regulation over the food choices available. The report, which was prepared by the Food Commission, looked at leisure centres, bowling buildings, ice skating areas and park cafes. The average calorie (卡路里) content of vending machine snacks was 203 calories, which would take a seven-year-old 88 minutes of swimming to use up. Fresh fruit was displayed at less than half of the places visited, and nutritional (营养的) information was displayed at just two of the places visited. The BHF said this severely limits the children's and parents' ability to assess the nutritional values of the products they are buying. The charity is now calling for public and private sector providers to lead the way in ensuring healthy food options are available and easily identifiable. It says it should be made a requirement that vending machines in publicly owned facilities are stocked with healthier products. A Department of Health spokeswoman said, "We are fully committed to encouraging the adoption of healthy vending machines across the country and expect local authorities to make sure there are healthy food options available in their leisure centres." Dessert, crisps and sugary drinks with bubbles of gas have been banned from all school vending machines in England since September 2007. Judy Hargadon, chief executive of the School Food Trust, said, "Convenience doesn't have to mean unhealthy." Many schools are using vending to offer pupils extra choice and independence whilst still keeping their options well-balanced and consistent.1.

What did Judy Hargadon think of vending machines?A) They are convenient but unhealthy.B) Vending machines should be used in schools to offer more choices.C) Vending machines might be convenient and healthy under control.
