SAREK NATIONAL PARK—
EUROPE’S HIDDEN NATURAL TREASURE
A Summer Where the Sun Never Sleeps
I wake up t the sund f the wind buffeting the clth f my tent. Even thugh the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is mrning r night is impssible. I’m abve the Arctic Circle, where in summer the sun never sets. Checking my watch, I see that it is 7:30 a. m. I leave my tent and walk ver t the muntain edge. Spreading ut befre me, branches f the Rapa River flw thrugh the valleybelw. I’m in the remte far nrth f Sweden in Sarek Natinal Park, a place with n rads r twns.
A Land f Muntain and Ice
Sarek’s muntains used t be cvered by vast sheets f ice. Arund 9,000 years ag, this ice melted, leaving behind abut 100 glaciers. Sn after, reindeer began t arrive. Fllwing the reindeer were the Sami peple, wh made this territrytheir hme. Getting here is quite difficult, s apart frm the Sami very few peple have ever seen Sarek. In 1909, Sarek was made a natinal park in rder t keep the land in its natural state. Thugh the Sami are allwed t cntinue their traditinal way f life in the park, n ne else can live here, and all new develpment is banned within park bundaries. At the far side f the valley, an ancient Sami cttage is visible. Clse by, there are a few reindeer feeding n grass.
Man at Peace with Nature
Fr hundreds f years, lking after reindeer was a way f life fr the Sami. They used the reindeer’s meat fr fd, their bnes fr tls, and their skin fr making clthes and tents. Since reindeer were always n the mve, the Sami wuld pick up their tents and accmpany them. Tday, mst Sami have huses in villages near Sarek and live a mdern life just like their neighburs. But every spring, a small number f Sami still fllw their reindeer int the valleys f Sarek, living in tents r ld cttages and enjying their traditins. I am nt a Sami, but in Sarek I’ve adpted sme f their habits. Fr example, this mrning my breakfast is flat bread warmed ver a fire, dried reindeer meat, and sme sweet and sur berries that I fund grwing near my tent.
A Land f Adventure
After breakfast, I pack my bag and set ut again. Since I must carry all f my fd and supplies with me, my bag weighs abut 30 kilgrams. If tday is anything like yesterday, it will be full f sweat and hard wrk as I hike ver this difficult land t my destinatin n the ther side f the valley. Hwever, I cannt cmplain. Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed t be alive. Here I am, alne under this brad sky, breathing the fresh air, and enjying this great adventure. What culd be better?

A grup f researchers has cme up with a way t make it easier t drive in the snw: by designing tyres (轮胎) based n plar bear paws.
“We had an nging prject fr many years fcused n ice,” said Ali Dhinjwala, wh tk part in the research. “We were lking at the frictin (摩擦力) f materials because ur natinal partners need t develp tyres with a strng grip n the rad in ice and snw cnditins.” The team turned t nature fr inspiratin, thinking that evlutin might have already slved the prblem in a way that culd be cpied with technlgy. The bvius place t lk was plar bears— specifically the tiny bumps (凸块) n the surface f their paw pads— t find ut what effect they have n the animals’ ability t mve quickly acrss icy and snwy area.
T d this, the team gathered samples (样本) f plar bear paw pads, as well as samples frm brwn bears and American black bears (tw species clsely related t plar bears) and sun bears (a distantly related species, typically fund in Asia). The team imaged the samples using a scanning electrn micrscpe, prduced 3D-printed cpies and then tested them in snw in the lab.
They fund that the tiny structures n the plar bear paw pads were taller, which gave them better frictin n the snw, even thugh plar bears have smaller pads cmpared t ther bears.
The team nw wants t lk int ther factrs that may have an effect, such as the patterns and shapes f the tiny structures. “If yu lk at snw tyres, yu’ll see that they d have sme deeper treads (外胎花纹), but this research culd als shw varius ways t design them that culd have a larger impact,” said Dhinjwala.
8． What des the underlined wrd “they” in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. Tiny bumps.B. Plar bears.C. Snwy rads.D. Paw pads.
9． What des Paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. The finding f the research.
B. The backgrund f the research.
C. The cmparisn f different bear pads.
D. The differences f samples in the lab.
10． What can we infer frm Dhinjwala’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A. Snw tyres that have deeper treads can be safe enugh.
B. Different treads might be designed n the snw tyres.
C. The researchers shuld have turned t ther bears fr inspiratin.
D. The design f snw tyres requires n further imprvement.
11． Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. An Onging Prject Fcused n Ice
B. An Easier Way t Drive in the Snw
C. A New Research n Plar Bear Paw Pads
D. Snw Tyres Based n Plar Bear Paws
San Francisc’s waterfrnt (海滨) is n the Natinal Register f Histric Places fr gd reasn.
Its beautiful ld landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many bks, TV shws and mvies—frm the stries and nvels f Jack Lndn t the 1970s TV series The Streets f San Francisc. The future f San Francisc’s waterfrnt, hwever, isn’t safe.
In 2016 the Natinal Trust fr Histric Preservatin put part f the city’s shreline n its list f the U.S.’s mst endangered histric places, in part because f the threat f sea level rise. The waterfrnt landmarks f many cities are under increasing threat frm flds and rising sea levels brught n by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach bardwalk in Ls Angeles face similar challenges t San Francisc.
“The whle issue f climate change and histric preservatin intersects (交织) right at the waterfrnt,” said Elaine Frbes, directr f the Prt f San Francisc. As she watched the bats cme and g n a sunny afternn, Frbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t histrically been as much f a threat t San Francisc as majr earthquakes.” Hwever, that’s changed. Parts f the main rad that runs alng the waterfrnt have flded frm heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water culd rise up t abut tw and a half feet abve its present level by 2060, and pssibly up t seven feet by the turn f the century.
Nw, San Francisc is cnsidering measures t save its histric shreline. But the grwing magnitude and frequency f the climate-related threats, the high csts and effrt needed in saving heritage sites, and cmpeting ideas abut what’s wrth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard fr cities t knw what t d first.
12．What is San Francisc’s waterfrnt famus fr?
A. Old landmarks.B. Famus beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges.D. Cmfrtable climate.
13．What challenge is the waterfrnt facing?
A. The lss f public supprt.B. The threat frm rising sea levels.
C. The influence f turist activities.D. The cmpetitin frm ther cities.
14．Why is the earthquake mentined in paragraph 4?
A. T give an example f existing threats.
B. T stress the seriusness f sea level rise.
C. T cmpare different types f natural disasters.
D. T shw the difficulty in the waterfrnt prtectin.
15．What can be learned frm the text?
A. Heritage sites are in ruins.B. Threats have been remved.
C. The shreline has been flded.D. Slutins are under cnsideratin.

7．答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If tday is anything like yesterday, it will be full f sweat and hard wrk as I hike ver this difficult land t my destinatin n the ther side f the valley.” (如果今天像昨天一样，当我徒步穿过这片艰难的土地到达山谷另一边的目的地时，它将充满汗水和艰苦的工作。) 可推知，昨天作者可能走过一条崎岖难行的路。

11．答案：D
解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段“A grup f researchers has cme up with a way t make it easier t drive in the snw: by designing tyres based n plar bear paws. (一组研究人员提出了一种使在雪地里开车更容易的方法：用北极熊的爪子设计轮胎。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是科学家基于北极熊爪设计雪地轮胎，选项“基于北极熊爪的雪地轮胎”符合题意。
