The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩)in the world just got the best surprise—a hug from a new friend.Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years,finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.
For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company,visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread—the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island.It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him,with his smile from ear to ear.
For those who know Ponso's back story,his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising.Ponso was one of 20 chimps,all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old,relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing by the New York Blood Centre.After the tests were completed in 2005,the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands,occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps' new homes.
Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso,his mate and their two children standing.But at the end of 2013 they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone.
A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp,already achieving its goal of £ 20,000—all of which will be used for Ponso's care.

More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by 2050,according to a shocking new study.By then,scientists say,global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice.By 2100,only a very few of these important creatures will be left.
The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey.The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk KemPthorne,who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals,which are their main food.Without enough ice,polar bears would be forced to go onto the land,where they are poorly skilled hunters,and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears,on the ground,from spotter planes and in the lab,using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer has been forecasting.Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an alltime low.
However,not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy“sportsmen”who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bearhunting trips.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了由于全球变暖,北极熊有可能在这个世纪末濒临灭绝。

6.Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A.Because polar bears can't catch enough food without ice.
B.Because polar bears cat ice when they feel thirsty.
C.Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D.Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.

Ⅳ.七选五
International Women's Day takes place every year on 8 March to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world.It started with a protest(抗议)that took place in New York City in 1908.Then women went out onto the streets to demand the right to vote,shorter working hours and better pay.Since then it has taken many forms and today it's a global event.__1__In other countries it's an official holiday but only for women.
__2__If you watch the news you will see women astronauts,women prime ministers and women leaders in business.However,if you look at the statistics(统计数据)you realize there's still a long way to go.The BBC did a report a few years ago that showed that in the UK women took only 30.9%of the most senior positions across a range of jobs in areas like politics,business and policing.So there is still a lot for us to do.__3__
__4__ There are exhibitions,theatre shows,talks,discussions,walking tours,films,workshops,fun runs and so much more.All the events are designed to celebrate the role of women in society and to make us all take a step back and think about the progress that has been made.__5__The purpose is to make sure the world is a fair and equal place for all people.

【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍的是国际妇女节,涉及其由来、庆祝方式及该节日的意义等。
