22、Churchill, Manitoba is a small town. The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay. It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers.
It happens like clockwork every autumn that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight. The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619. That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one while they wintered in the area. "It was of good taste and did not disagree with us. "That's what Munk wrote in his journal.
Over the years, the animals' coming has earned the town the name of "Polar Bear Capital of the World". Today, Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population. There used to be about 7,000 residents but now only 813 living there. There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980. The town might have been in terrible financial hardships. But the growing bear tourism industry helped a lot.
Today, some 10,000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year. But the reasons why they come are different from before. Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears. Now things have changed because word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears, Churchill Bears, are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out. So when the tourists come up, they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats because they're looking at a beautiful bear, but they're also looking at a dying-out bear, which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different. Unfortunately, that's becoming part of the whole promotional aspect of the tours as well. Come and see the bears before it's too late.
【1】What can we learn about Churchill polar bears from the text?
A．They have eaten up the seals in the Hudson Bay.
B．They go to Churchill at the same time every year.
C．They move to Churchill to escape the northern winds.

【2】According to the text, what did Munk report in his journal?
A．He and his sailors fed many polar bears.
B．Polar bears were dangerous.
C．He and his sailors hunted a bear for food.
D．He and his sailors found seals in the bay.
【3】How do polar bears benefit the town of Churchill?
A．They supply food for the locals.
B．They bring much tourist income.
C．They attract many hunters to come.
D．They make many people settle down.
【4】What is the main reason why tourists go to Churchill now?
A．To stop polar bears going to the town.
B．To take photos with Churchill Bears.
C．To help polar bears become happier.
D．To say good-bye to Churchill Bears.
23、Beast from the East Causes Chaos
Anyone expecting the arrival of spring was bitterly disappointed last week, as freezing temperatures and disruptive (破坏性的)snow swept across the UK. 【1】 The Beast from the East is a wintry storm caused by a major weather event in the North Pole. 【2】 Because it was weakened, cold air from Siberia, in Russia, swept in over Europe, bringing with it low temperatures and snowstorms. From 26 February, people around the country endured temperatures as low as-12 ℃ and some areas were told to expect as much as 20 centimetres of snowfall.
【3】 It was the first red snow alert ever to be issued in the UK. At least 2,000 schools in England were forced to close. Zoos around the country also shut in order to keep the animals safe and warm. Supermarkets reported queues of people waiting to stock up on supplies. A spokesperson for the Co-op supermarket said it was usual to see sales increase in extreme weather. “People stock up, ready to stay indoors,” he said.
Normally, most people would be expecting to see signs of spring blossoming in the first week of March. Incredibly, in spite of the cold weather and official warnings, spring has actually sprung in Cornwall. The head gardeners of six major gardens in the county have reported blooms on their magnolia trees--a sign that the season is changing-even if it doesn’t feel like it. 【4】
A．A red weather warning--the most extreme-was issued as conditions became dangerous.
B．It was all thanks to the so-called Beast from the East.
C．There is further heavy snow forecast overnight for the north east and eastern parts of England and isolated showers elsewhere.
D．For everyone else, however, the Beast from the East means winter won't be loosening its grip for at least a few days yet.
E．Hundreds of trains and dozens of flights were cancelled as London’s transport services were thrown into total confusion.
F．There, a rise in air temperature weakened the jet stream (喷射气流), which is a band of strong wind that moves weather around the planet.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was freezing! Temperature was zero degree!
During patrolling（巡逻）, a group of soldiers were passing through a mountainous path. Their commander was also with them. The way became difficult and dark. The soldier started to feel tired and difficult to continue walking down the path.
Just a little ahead, they saw a tea shop, but when they reached there, they saw it was closed. Every soldier looked at the commander with teary eyes.
The commander understood everyone wanted to have a rest. So he ordered that they should rest there for some time.
Everyone sat there. Just then one of them said, “If we could get a cup of tea in this cold day, we could feel a little relieved.” The commander understood that his soldiers wanted to drink tea so he said. “But the shop is locked, how can we drink tea?”
And then a soldier said, “Sir, let’s break the lock. After all, we protect these people. One cup of tea... at least this is our right. It isn’t like we steal things from the shop. We just want to drink a cup of tea.”
Saying this, the soldier broke the lock of that tea shop.
Everyone drank tea, ate biscuits and continued their patrolling, but before leaving, the commander left two notes of RS（卢比） 500 on the table of that tea shop.
In the next morning, when the shop owner saw that the lock of his tea shop was broken, he cried and said, “Oh, God! My child is sick. I don’t even have money for his treatment and now my shop got robbed!” Then he went inside nervously and saw that all stuff（物品） was there except for some biscuit packets. Worried as he sat on the table, he saw two notes of RS 500 on it. Seeing the money, he immediately jumped with joy, but still not knowing what has happened and where the money was from.
