1. Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear? In fact, the polar（北极） bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The ones that are left are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice— polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
Ordinary people don't care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world. For me, I will not waiting. I will take the bus more often from now on. Join me and save the polar bears, and, of course, the tigers, the giant pandas and...

3. 任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分，满分10分）
阅读短文，根据短文信息完成表格。写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）
About the importance of good health, nobody can explain better than your doctor. They are the people who really know the importance of keeping fit and healthy. I am saying this because my doctor is an angel. Every time I put on an extra pound, he will remind me of what it is happening to my body. If we do not need to visit any doctor, we think we are very healthy. But that is not true. We may look healthy but we don't know clearly what is happening inside. However, there are many different ways we can make sure that we look inside as good as we do outside.
The first and easiest step is keeping a good idea, a balanced diet.
Next is sleeping well. Sleep early. Make sure you get nine hours of sleep.
Do not skip your breakfast. It is one of the most important meals of the day. Eat your regular meals, and it will do you good to eat healthily even during breaks.
Exercise your body every day. Go for a swim, or walk, or just play a game of football or tennis.
Try your best not to get stressed because it’s bad for your health.
Remember to keep washing your hands, and then you won’t catch any infection.
Get away from your bad habit. Don't smoke. Some wine does your body good while most of it does harm. Be wise and don't drink too much.
