（2026·南京市钟英中学月考）Did you ever imagine you'd see a bear in your neighbourhood? For people in Japan, this is becoming more common. By Nov. 7, more than 100 bear a
attacks
had taken place since April, with 13 people killed, according to the Japanese government.
Why are more bears coming c
close/closer
to people? One reason may be climate change. According to a study, climate change can disrupt(干扰) when plants flower and when pollinators(传粉者), l
like
bees, are active. If these changes f
fail
to fit together, plants and pollinators might no longer work with each other as well as before. This mismatch can affect the food the bears eat. B
Because
they can't find enough food in the wild, they might come into towns.
For example, bears in Japan eat acorns. H
However
, this year, there aren't many acorns because of warm weather and unusual rain, said the news website Explorersweb. The Guardian also reported that w
with
warmer winters, bears might start their winter sleep later, so they are more likely to meet people.
Also, according to CNN, young people in Japan are heading to big cities for work, l
leaving
mostly older people in villages. This means more e
empty
farmland and fewer people around, so bears can go into towns more easily.
People are worried about bear attacks. In Japan, only hunters with licenses(许可证) can shoot bears. But the n
number
of them is now small because many are getting old, and there aren't enough new people coming in.
