Question

【題目】A video of a hungry and thin polar bear in Canada’s wilderness has gone popular on the Internet. The video shows the bear is in search of food, walking across land with no snow or ice. It is all skin and bones. The bear is looking for food in waste containers. It is at times too weak to support its own body weight and difficult to stand. Paul Nicklen, the photographer who took the video, said the polar bear’s trouble was a clear sign of the surprising effect of climate change. He said filming the animal made them sad. He explain his team members were “holding their tears and emotions(情感) while recording this dying polar bear”.

Mr. Nicklen is part of the environmental group Sea Legacy. His team was on Canada’s Baffin Island to get a documentary on conservation. He said the bear they filmed was not old and probably died within hours. He said, “This is what hunger looks like. The muscles weaken. No energy. It’s a slow, painful death.” he blamed the bear’s sad trouble on global warming. He said, “As temperatures rise and sea ice melts, polar bears lose the main food of their diets-seals.” Climate change is the biggest threat to the world’s 26,000 polar bears. The video explains that bears are “hungry, and running out of energy” and are “forced to walk into human living places for any food”.

【解析】

這篇短文給我們講述了網(wǎng)上走紅的一段視頻，視頻中展示了一只瘦弱的北極熊走在沒(méi)有冰雪的陸地上尋找食物。通過(guò)這段視頻攝影師Nicklen告訴我們由于全球變暖，北極熊正面臨著滅絕的危險(xiǎn)。

【1】根據(jù)短文開(kāi)頭A video of a hungry and thin polar bear in Canada’s wilderness has gone popular on the Internet. The video shows the bear is in search of food, walking across land with no snow or ice可知，這段視頻展示的是一個(gè)饑餓、瘦弱的北極熊。故答案為A hungry and thin polar bear.

【2】根據(jù)短文中It is at times too weak to support its own body weight and difficult to stand.可知，北極熊有時(shí)虛弱得無(wú)法支撐自己的體重，難以站立。由此可知答案是否定的。

【3】根據(jù)短文中Paul Nicklen, the photographer who took the video, said the polar bear’s trouble was a clear sign of the surprising effect of climate change.可知，北極熊的這種困境意味著氣候變化的壞的影響。故答案為The bad effect of climate change.

【4】根據(jù)短文的最后The video explains that bears are “hungry, and running out of energy” and are “forced to walk into human living places for any food”.可知，北極熊被迫去人類居住的地方尋找食物。由此可知答案。

【5】句中主語(yǔ)是He，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞是explain解釋，后面跟了一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句；his team members他的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員，這是從句中的主語(yǔ)；were holding 是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，抑制，后面是賓語(yǔ)their tears and emotions“他們的淚水和情感”；while是連詞，后面跟了現(xiàn)在分詞形式，表示“當(dāng)…的時(shí)候”，recording記錄；this dying polar bear這只將要死去的北極熊。

這篇短文給我們講述的是一段網(wǎng)上走紅的視頻，視頻反映了因?yàn)闅夂蜃兓�，全球變暖，北極熊找不到食物，面臨著滅絕的危險(xiǎn)。短文主題明確，是一個(gè)科普說(shuō)明文，在理解上稍有難度。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)注意把握文章中心，并根據(jù)題目所問(wèn)，定位文章具體細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容。后面的題目設(shè)置是問(wèn)答題和翻譯，問(wèn)答題都考查對(duì)文章細(xì)節(jié)的理解，答案可以在原文找到。例如第4小題，題目問(wèn)的是北極熊去哪里尋找食物，做題時(shí)應(yīng)注意與地點(diǎn)有關(guān)的名詞或短語(yǔ)，根據(jù)短文的最后The video explains that bears are “hungry, and running out of energy” and are “forced to walk into human living places for any food”.可知，北極熊被迫去人類居住的地方尋找食物。由此可知答案。翻譯題注意弄清楚句子的結(jié)構(gòu)以及單詞的意思，翻譯應(yīng)準(zhǔn)確、流暢。
