单选题{{B}}TEXT E{{/B}} As the hot arctic summer drew to a close, till the magenta sun only slid along the horizon to sink again at once, the polar bear knew that a hard time lay ahead for her. During the months of night, fifty degrees below zero, her cubs would be born, the great task of motherhood was already begun, the time soon coming when she would bury herself deep down under the snow to give birth. From then until the day when she and the cubs burrowed up into daylight again she would not eat. She and they must live on what she had stored in her body during the summer, and on what she could catch and eat now. She must finish fattening herself up for the ordeal, and there was not much time left. She was not clearly aware of what was happening in her body, but the instinct was there to love the unborn cubs, to prepare for them and protect them; she did not risk her body in careless adventures as she would at other times. But food? Food-- Suddenly, away down the ice-field, she saw a blackish slug on the ice--a seal. It was essential to catch him. In a moment she had decided on her approach, and slipped silently into the water to cut off his line of retreat. The ice rocked as her great weight left it. By a series of cunning dives and approaches, and keeping under the shoulder of ice, she got near to the seal. Breathing carefully, every nerve keyed to the task of silent approach, ready to spring--to dive--to slaughter, she slid nearer---nearer--- Suddenly the seal saw her. Terror convulsed his face. He swung away from her, humping madly along. The bear lunged up out of the water, on to the ice, on to the terrified seal. The water slashed off her everywhere like a tidal wave. There was a flurry of snow and water and fighting seal. His quick struggling body flapped under her as she slew him. Blood spurted on to the snow. When the seal was dead, the bear attended first to herself, getting rid of the wet from her coat before it could freeze, although oil had kept off the frost so far. Now for the seal. She ripped up the body, turning back the skin and blubber, letting out a cloud of steam, and ate greedily of the hot crimson meat. Seal meat was her favorite, full of flavor, a hot meal, not like the white icy flakes of cod. Presently she saw upright seals coming along the shore. They were rather rare creatures, these, and dangerous for all they were so weak. The places where they lived had light and noise, and smelled full of good food. The she-bear often drew near the places, attracted by those smells. She hunted these land-seals too, and ate them when she could. They were not like the sea-seals, though. They wore seal fur, and their skins were rubbed with seal blubber, but there was a different taste inside.

单选题Women have long been more in number than men on college campuses. They also hold more advanced degrees than their male 1 . So it makes sense that women would also score higher on IQ tests. But for the last 100 years, they"ve lagged behind men by as much as five points— 2 their scores have been rising. Finally, according to IQ expert James Flynn, women have 3 the IQ gap and are in fact scoring higher than men, reports the Telegraph . IQ, the most widely used measure of 4 and is determined based on the difference between one"s IQ score and the 5 IQ score of a certain age group. It"s thought to be a product of both environmental and 6 factors, and is a statistically reliable 7 of future educational achievement, job 8 and income. But the reasons for differences in IQ—for example, between races or genders—have long been widely 9 . There are many 10 reasons that women finally surpassed men in IQ after a century of falling 11 , according to Flynn, who is writing a book about IQ and gender. One 12 is that women have 13 been capable of scoring higher but, because of gender stereotypes, never realized their own 14 . Gender-based differences in education, 15 and social roles have historically set the 16 lower for women. "This 17 is more noticeable for women than for men 18 they were socially and economically 19 in the past," Flynn told the Telegraph . Now if only women could close in on that annoying 20 gap.
