七、任务型阅读。（2025·江苏无锡·调研）
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Ryrkaypiy, a village with about 700 people, is located in the north-east of Russia. Standing on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, it has to brave both the Arctic’s cold weather and wild animals like polar bears. Most of the area’s polar bears live a few miles away from Ryrkaypiy. Only a few bears come near to the village now and then.
But last winter, over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food. The villagers were told to stay indoors to avoid danger. Now, polar bears come to the village more often and in larger numbers than ever.
Although polar bears are born on land, they spend most of their life on the sea ice. The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish. But as the temperature rises because of global warming, the bears have started to find their home disappearing.
Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer and return to the ice when the ocean freezes again in autumn. But over the past few years, the ocean has frozen later and later, and the ice area has become smaller and smaller. Unable to live on the ice, hungry polar bears have to look for food on land, including villages like Ryrkaypiy.
In some countries, polar bears are considered as endangered animals. If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears.
Immediate action must be taken to help polar bears.
1. Why did polar bears go to Ryrkaypiy last winter?
In search of food.
2. What can polar bears do on the sea ice?
They can have a rest and catch fish.
3. When do polar bears normally go onto dry land?
In summer.
4. What will probably happen if there is not enough ice?
There will probably be no polar bears. /They will probably disappear.
5. What can you do to help polar bears? Why?
Encourage people to help polar bears. Because they face danger.(答案不唯一)

【分析】
本题为任务型阅读题，解题思路为：先明确每个问题的核心关键词，带着关键词回归原文定位对应语句，提取关键信息作答；对于开放类问题，需结合文章主旨（全球变暖导致海冰融化，北极熊栖息地丧失而濒危），给出符合逻辑的合理答案。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第二段第一句“over 50 polar bears went to Ryrkaypiy in search of food”，可知北极熊去村子的原因是寻找食物，故答案为In search of food.
2. 定位原文第三段第二句“The ice gives them a place where they can have a rest and catch fish”，可知北极熊在海冰上可以休息和抓鱼，故答案为They can have a rest and catch fish.
3. 定位原文第四段第一句“Polar bears normally go onto dry land in summer”，可知北极熊通常在夏天上岸，故答案为In summer.
4. 定位原文第五段第二句“If the earth becomes so warm that there is no longer enough ice for the bears to live on, there will probably be no polar bears”，可知没有足够海冰时可能没有北极熊，故答案为There will probably be no polar bears.
5. 结合文章主旨，可从环保角度作答，如Encourage people to save electricity. Because saving electricity can reduce carbon emissions, which helps slow down global warming and protect polar bears' living environment.（答案不唯一，合理即可）
【答案】
1. In search of food.
2. They can have a rest and catch fish.
3. In summer.
4. There will probably be no polar bears.
5. Encourage people to save electricity. Because saving electricity can reduce carbon emissions to slow down global warming, which is good for polar bears.
