Belon and her husband. Enrique Alvarez. had taken their children overseas for the Christmas holidays.

Each year, Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute and his colleagues capture around 70 polar bears in Svalbard and fit them with a tracking collar (颈圈) which continuously records movement. Once a day the collar makes a satellite call, sending the last 24 hours of data back to the Institute. “Data from movement has been very important to understand how they react and how they might respond to climate change.” Aars explains.
A warming climate means a vast amount of the region. and rising temperatures are also preventing seasonal ice which melts and recurs annually from forming in places it once did. Several seal species—polar bears’main prey (猎物)—rely on sea ice, and more often than not, so do polar bears. But these creatures are being forced to move with the times.
“Because conditions change, polar bears will spend more time on land and look for different options.” Aars explains. “They hunt reindeer (驯鹿) and they will take more birds and eggs. We have seen that bears are in different areas from where they used to be—so much further north.
“According to NASA, summer ice in the Arctic is decreasing by more than each decade, and this year the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported the second lowest levels of summer sea ice ever recorded. The 14 lowest levels of sea ice have all occurred in the past 14 years, according to the NSIDC.
“You don’t find polar bears anywhere in the Arctic where you don’t have sea ice at least seasonally.” says Aars! “Changes are so significant and so fast: we will reach some stage in the future where it will get much harder to be a polar bear in Svalbard.”
28. Why does the collar make a satellite call daily
A. To obtain some information.
B. To offer necessary help to polar bears.
C. To see whether polar bears are still alive.
D. To know if polar bears are being attacked.
29. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. Why polar bears prefer birds. B. What has caused the changes.
C. Where polar bears can be found. D. How polar bears react to the changes.
30. What affects polar bears’ life the most
A. Freezing weather. B. Decreasing sea ice.
C. More and more seals. D. People’s hunting them.
31. What can we infer about the sea ice from paragraph 4
A. It has been staying the same in the past ten years.
B. It started decreasing less than a decade ago.
C. It is becoming less and less.
D. It is getting more and more.
D
The US federal government is investigating more than 700 cases of possible child labor violations and said it has found almost 4,500 children working illegally since the start of the fiscal (财政年度的) year—a 44 percent increase over the previous year.
Earlier this month, Duvan Perez, a 16-year-old Guatemalan immigrant and a ninth grader at a middle school. died when he was working on a sanitation crew at a poultry processing plant in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. On July 14. he was cleaning a conveyor belt at the Mar-Jac Poultry processing plant and became entangled in (被卷入) the belt. according to records obtained by The Associated Press. Perez’s workmates had tried to pull him from the equipment, which stretched to the plant’s ceiling. Police found the teenager dead, and Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict said in a text message that Perez died from traumatic asphyxia and blunt force trauma. according to the AP.
Labor Department officials say they are investigating possible child labor violations at Mar-Jac, along with an ongoing death investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Mar-Jac Poultry blamed an unnamed staffing company for hiring Perez to work at their plant, saying that Perez’s paperwork seemed to inaccurately (不准确地) represent his age.
The Labor Department has completed 765 child labor investigations and identified 4,474 children employed in violation of federal child labor laws since the current fiscal year began on Oct 1, officials said Wednesday. AP reported. The department said child labor violations have increased nearly 70 percent nationwide since 2018.
“These are work environments that are unfit for adults. much less for children,” Wendy Cervantes. director of immigration and immigrant families at the Center for Law and Social Policy, told the AP. “Duvan’s tragic story is unfortunately too common. and too many kids like him are continuing to work in inappropriate settings across the country in direct violation of our child labor laws.” Cervantes said.
Perez was the third teenager who died in an industrial accident this summer.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Why Perez was hired in the company.
B. How Perez lost his life in the accident.
C. How Perez’s workmates tried to save him.
D. What Perez was responsible for in the plant.
33. Why did Mar-Jac Poultry blame the unnamed staffing company
A. The staffing company didn’t supply qualified equipment to them.
B. The staffing company refused to make up for the death.
C. The staffing company owed them some money.
D. The staffing company might cheat them.
34. What does the underlined word “inappropriate” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Not delightful. B. Not adjustable.
C. Not suitable. D. Not peaceful.
35. What is the best title for the news report
A. Illegal labor by children rises quickly in US
B. Police finds a teenager dead in a plant in US
C. Teenagers blamed for being as staff members in US
D. Government tries to prevent children from being hired in US

England. Japan and Thailand. Each makes up more than 3 percent of the population. while South Korea’s contribution has fallen to 17 percent, Rendon, originally from Mexico. studied in China for five years in both Beijing and Shanghai. She says, “My experience was great: I got to meet people from all over the world. mainly from Europe and South America. but I also had the opportunity to get to know the Chinese culture and develop great friendship with Chinese people. In my first six months. I lived with a host Chinese family in the typical Hutongs, which are traditional residential areas. I lived with about 10 Chinese people from the same family. It was amazing as we always had dinner together. While none of them spoke English. this helped me to learn the culture.”
Choosing to study in China is a smart move for anyone looking to try something slightly out of the ordinary, while knowing that you’ll be in good company.

Dear editor,
I’d like to tell you a meaningful day in my life. Last week. we paid a visit to a nursing home. It was Saturday and the sun was shining all day. With the intention of caring for the old. my classmates and I decided to visit the nursing home nor far from our school. The moment we got there. we began to clean the rooms and washed clothes for the old. Then we started to sweep the ground of the yard. Just two hours later. the whole yard was spotless.
As far as I am concerned, this experience is significant. For one thing, we helped with something the old couldn’t do on their own. For another, a tidy and comfortable environment was also provided for them, making them full of delight. It was through this labor that I fully realized that the awareness of respecting and helping the old should be raised.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
