A tiny Alaska village has experienced a boom in tourism in recent year's as polar bears spend more time on land than on Arctic sea ice.
More than 2,000 people visited the northern Alaska village of Kaktovik in 2018 to see polar bears in the wild. The far north community lies in an area where increasingly higher temperature has sped up the movement of sea ice, the primary habitat(栖息地) of polar bears. As ice has gradually moved to deep water beyond the continental shelf, more bears are remaining on land to look for food.
Polar bears have always been a common sight on sea ice near Kaktovik, but villagers started noticing a change in the mid-1990s. More bears seemed to stay on land, and researchers began taking note of more female bears making homes in the snow on land instead of on the ice to raise their babies. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists began hearing reports of the increasing number of polar bears in the area in the early 2000s. As more attention was given to the plight (困境)of polar bears about a decade ago, more tourists started heading to Kaktovik.
The village had fewer than 50 visitors annually before 2011, said Jennifer Reed, of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. "Today we’re talking about hundreds and hundreds of visitors, many from around the world each year," Reed said. Most tourists visit in the fall, when bears are forced toward land because sea ice is farthest away from the shore. Bruce Inglangasak, a local hunter who sometimes offers wildlife-viewing tours, said been offering polar bear tours since 2004. Most of his clients(客户) are from China and Europe, as well as from the lower 48 U. S. states. Many tourists stay several days in the village, which has two small hotels. The villagers have benefited a lot from that. In turn, they provide more effective protection for polar hears with financial support from tourism development.
28.What causes more polar bears to stay on land in Kaktovik?
A.Food shortage.
B.Climate change.
C.Habitats, movement to shore.
D.Their preference for land.
29.How did common people feel about more sight of bears on land?
A.Excited.
B.Puzzled.
C.Concerned.
D.Shocked.
30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Hotels in Kaktovik are in demand in autumn.
B.Kaktovik has about 50 visitors annually.
C.Inglangasak makes a living as a tour guide.
D.Tourism affects the balance of nature.
31.Which saying can describe the text?
A.The fittest can survive.
B.After a storm comes a calm.
C.There is always opportunity in crisis.
D.Every coin has two sides.

What do you do when nobody is around to take your picture? You take a selfie (拍照) .But what about selfies in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.
“For me, it needs to be digital to be selfie,” argues Jennifer Levasseur, who is in charge of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to Internet culture and human desire to interact on social platforms. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.
Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras abroad space vehicles since the 1960s ,and they've taken plenty of pictures of themselves along the way. Astronauts had to pull the film magazines out and leave their cameras behind when they returned to Earth because early space missions were restricted by a conservative weight limit on the return trip.
A big change in space camera technology came after sad loss of the space shuttle Columbia who broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003. “Fearing that they would never be able to bring the film back from space and lose all that hard work celebrated the push for digital.” Levasseur says.
Today astronauts can have access to the Internet and social platforms in space and post true based selfies taken by digital cameras. Taking selfies and sharing them on social media is a way that astronauts in space can participate in the same activities people on Earth do every day. The first astronaut selfie that went viral(网红的) on the internet was one by Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide in 2012.
32.What does Levasseur think of Aldrin's claim?
A.It hardly makes any sense.
B.It revolutionizes astronautics.
C.It contradicts public opinions.
D.It needs to be further proved.
33.Why were cameras left in space on early space missions?
A.To lighten the load of the spaceship.
B.To test cameras under extreme conditions.
C.To prepare for the next stage of spaceexploration.
D.To take more pictures in space by remote control.
34.What advanced space camera technology?
A.The invention of new films
B.The fear of falling behind in the space race
C.The concern about the loss of valuable data
D.The popularity of space selfies on socia media
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Exploration of Space.
B.The History of Selfies in Space.
C.The Change in Space Camera Technology.
D.The Development in Space Technology.

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。
At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
"Thief!"
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile, I asked, "Are you Mr. Ram's nephew, Michael? I'm his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You're really like him!"
On hearing my words, the boy was first astonished, but then quickly said, "Has my uncle gone out? I think I'd better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while."
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, "Do you like to play the violin so much?"
"Yes, but I'm so poor that I can't afford it," the boy replied.
"Then, I give this violin to you." The hoy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He involuntarily trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper's photo.
Paragraph 1:
A few years later, I was invited to be a judge at a music competition of senior high school students.
