Banak sits atop northern Europe, over 350 miles above the bottom edge of the Arctic Circle.‎ The greater Northern Hemisphere and Europe itself have been repeatedly scorched by both record and nearrecord temperatures this summer, a consequence of overall rising global temperatures.‎ - 6 -‎ In the past 40 years, Earth's climate has experienced an accelerated warming trend, which adds an extra level of background warming to hot spells—making heatwaves more extreme, climate scientists have said.‎ A photo of what appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river while reindeer—the coldadapted herbivores (食草动物)—cooled off in the water beside them is perhaps the best example of just how hot it is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.‎ The “warm season” in Banak is short, lasting around three months, but the very warmest day of the year, around July 23, is usually around 62 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏度)—about 30 degrees cooler than temperatures there now. Overall, temperatures in northern Europe are between 14 to 21 degrees Fahrenheit, 8 to 13 degrees Celsius, above average.‎ Alltime temperature records were set in both Norway and Finland on July 30, including 86 degrees Fahrenheit, 30 degrees Celsius, in Verde, near Banak, though extreme or nearrecord temperatures blanketed the region.‎ Persistent heat and dryness this summer have transformed normally green European countries into brown and yellow lands, and the continent's extreme heat is expected to persist.‎ Andrew Derocher, a professor at the University of Alberta who studies polar bears, said climate change is shrinking the ice bears usually hunt on, making them faced with the danger of extinction.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　由于全球变暖的速度不断加快，作为北极熊栖息地的北极圈现在也面临着温度升高的状况。这样的环境变化对于北极熊的生存是很大的威胁。‎ ‎4．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “scorched” in Paragraph 3 ?‎ A．Burned. B．Achieved.‎ C．Scored. D．Reached.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第三段“The greater Northern Hemisphere and Europe itself have been repeatedly scorched by both record and nearrecord temperatures...”可知，今年夏天，由于全球气温总体上升，北半球和欧洲自身不断受到创纪录和接近创纪录气温的炙烤。因此，画线词的意思是“烧伤，烧焦”。故选A项。‎ ‎5．What does the photo show according to the author?‎ A．Scandinavian folks like to swim in a river.‎ B．Reindeers have adapted to the cold climate.‎ - 6 -‎ C．The ice there has totally been melted into water.‎ D．The temperature of the Arctic Circle now is high.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第五段“A photo of what appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river...is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now.”可知，喜冷的食草动物在水里凉快，证明了北极圈开始变热。因此，这张照片表明现在北极圈的温度很高。故选D项。‎ ‎6．What can you learn from Professor Derocher's words?‎ A．Maybe bears will die out in the near future.‎ B．Climate change is threatening polar bears.‎ C．He is worried about the shrinking of the sea ice.‎ D．He advises people to do something to improve the condition.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Andrew Derocher...said climate change is shrinking the ice bears usually hunt on，making them faced with the danger of extinction.”可知，气候变暖使得北极熊赖以生存的冰面减少，致使北极熊面临灭绝的危险。故选B项。‎ ‎7．Where may you find this article?‎ A．In a fashion magazine. B．In a news report.‎ C．In a geography textbook. D．In a travel handbook.‎ 解析：选B　文章出处题。根据第一段“The Arctic Circle—the habitat of polar bears and decreasing sea ice at the top of the world—hit 32 degrees Celsius last week.”可知，这篇文章是报道上周北极圈温度达到‎32摄氏度的新闻。因此，本文不可能出现在时尚杂志、地理教科书或旅游手册中，它最有可能出现在新闻报道中。故选B项。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020届云南省高三统一检测)‎ Are you sometimes stressed?
