1. Polar bears suffer from various health problems due to the build-up of fat under their skin. (FALSE)
文: one reason for this is that they have up to 11 centimeters of fat underneath their skin. Humans with comparative levels of adipose tissue(脂肪組織)would be considered obese and would be likely to suffer from diabetes and heart disease. Yet the polar bear experiences no such consequences.
2. The study done by Liu and his colleagues compared different groups of polar bears.(FALSE)
文: A 2014 study by Shi Ping Liu and colleagues sheds light on this mystery. They compared the genetic structure of polar bears with that of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears.
3. Liu and his colleagues were the first researchers to compare polar bears and brown bears genetically. NG
文:A 2014 study by Shi Ping Liu and colleagues sheds light on this mystery. They compared the genetic structure of polar bears with that of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears.
4. Polar bears are able to control their levels of 『bad』 cholesterol by genetic means. TRUE
文:Liu and his colleagues found the polar bears had a gene known as APoB, which reduces levels of low-density lipoproteins -- a form of 『bad』 cholesterol.
5. female polar bears are able to survive for about six months without food. TRUE
文: This process results in about six month of fasting, where the female bears have to keep themselves and their cubs alive, depleting their own calcium and calorie reserves.
6. It was found that the bones of female polar bears were very weak when they came out of their dens in spring. FALSE
文: in addition, six months later, when they finally emerged from the den with their cubs, there was no evidence of significant loss of bone density.
7. The polar bears mechanism for increasing bone density could also be used by people one day
文: if the mechanism of bone remodeling in polar bears can be understood, many bedridden humans, and even astronauts, could potentially benefit.
8. 很多人認為熊類是不聰明的也是_____的,
定位詞: unintelligent
定位處:第5段第4行, Bears, on the other hand, seem to be perceived as stupid and in
many cases violent.
stupid 對應 unintelligent 後面的並列結構詞 and, and後面的形容詞為violent,所以答案應該為violent
9/10. In Tennoji Zoo, 熊會用樹枝當做_____, 這讓他能夠擊倒一些_____
定位詞: Tennoji Zoo
定位處:第5段第6行,A male bear called GoGo in Tennoji Zoo, Osaka, has even been observed making use of a tool to manipulate his environment. The bear used a tree branch on multiple occasions to dislodge a piece of meat hung out of his reach. Osaka這個動物園中一隻叫』狗狗』的小男熊 ,會使用工具來控制環境, 這隻熊會用一個樹枝去挪動那些本來夠不到的肉。
So, using a branch as a 應該是用branch 當做一種工具,因此為tool, 去knock down 一些肉 meat
11. 一個wild polar bear 野生的北極熊找到了一個方法,這個方法能讓他接觸到_____所在的一個平台上。
定位詞: platform, wild polar bear , 我們要找的就是平台上有什麼,platform 上面有什麼
定位處: 第5段,倒數第3行 … witnessed in wild polar bears, although not as obviously as with GoGo. A calculated move by a male bear involved running and jumping onto barrels in an attempt to get to a photographer standing on a platform four metres high. 在這一句中我們主要看platform旁邊,platform上面有什麼呢,我們可以看到 a photographer standing on a platform, 因此這一空填photographer-攝影師;照相師
12 北極熊也會有一些如有意識的控制物體或者和______很相似的活動。
定位詞: conscious manipulation, and similar to
定位處: 我們在第6段開頭句看到了manipulation這個詞,對應着這個題目中的 conscious manipulation,後面又出現了objects,接下來我們就需要在objects後面找並列結構,以及和…相似的信息, …objects in piles and then knocking them over in what appeared to be a game. objects 後面很快出現了並列結構的and,繼續向後面我們看到了appear to這個詞組,appear to 表示「似乎,好像」, 也就是similar to的同意替換,因此這一空我們就填,appear to 後面的game,似乎是一個遊戲,像遊戲一樣的活動
13. 熊們也會做出一些動作去表達_____如果他們在打獵過程中感到失望
定位詞: movements, hunting, disappointed - 本段開始說emotion了,emotion也可以是一個定位詞
定位處:第7段開頭就出現了emotion, As for emotions, while the evidence is once again anecdotal, many bears have been seen to hit out at ice and snow - seemingly out of frustration - when they have missed out on a kill. 很多熊會敲打冰和雪,看起來非常的挫折,當他們沒有捕殺成功時, 此處的kill對應hunting,打獵,捕殺, disappointed對應 miss out, movement就是指hit out at ice and snow 這一空中,我們要填寫的是這些movement表達了什麼,應該寫frustration, 表達了沮喪,受挫
